Filter-based performance monitoring

Deleting end-to-end monitors
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the perfMonitorShow command to list the valid end-to-end monitor numbers for a port.
3. Enter the perfDelEEMonitor command to delete a specific monitor.
If you do not specify which monitor number to delete, you are asked if you want to delete all
entries.
Example
The following example displays the end-to-end monitors on port 0 (the monitor numbers are listed
in the KEY column) and deletes monitor number 2 on port 0:
switch:admin> perfmonitorshow --class EE 0
There are 4 end-to-end monitor(s) defined on port 0.

Filter-based performance monitoring
Filter-based performance monitoring counts the number of times a frame with a particular pattern
is transmitted by a port. Filter-based monitoring is achieved by configuring a filter for a particular
purpose. The filter can be a standard filter (for example, a SCSI read command filter that counts the
number of SCSI read commands that have been transmitted by the port) or a user-defined filter
customized for your particular use.
For Brocade 300, 5300, 5410, 5424, 5450, 5480, and 7800 models, the maximum number of
filters is 8 per port, in any combination of standard filters and user-defined filters.
For the Brocade 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, 7500, 7500E, 7600, 8000, Brocade Encryption Switch,
Brocade DCX, and DCX-4S models, the maximum number of filters is 12 per port, in any
combination of standard filters and user-defined filters.
For the Brocade 48000 models, the maximum number of filters is 12 per port, in any combination
of standard filters and user-defined filters, except for the FC4-48 port blade. For the FC4-48 port
blade:
• The lower 16 ports (ports 0 through 15) have a maximum of 12 filter monitors per port, and 15
offsets per port for user-defined monitors.
• The middle 16 ports (ports 16 through 31) have a maximum of 6 filter monitors per port, and
11 offsets per port for user-defined monitors.
• The upper 16 ports (ports 32 through 47) do not support filter monitors.
The actual number of filters that can be configured on a port depends on the complexity of the
filters. For trunked ports, the filter is configured on the trunk master.
