perf
You can configure a maximum of 16 threshold alerts, including both
counter threshold alerts (CTAs) and throughput threshold alerts
(TTAs). Each of these types of alerts have commands that are specific
to the alert type.
• Counter threshold alerts: These are alerts that are triggered by
counts of events. The commands used to configure these alerts
start with perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.
• Throughput threshold alerts: These alerts are triggered by port
throughput. The commands used to configure these alerts start
with perf.thresholdAlerts.throughput.
For a list of the available threshold alerts counters, see Alert Types and
Counters on page 2-147.
Creating Threshold Alerts
The tasks you need to complete to create and activate a threshold
alert differ depending on the type of alert you are creating. To
implement a counter threshold alert, see Activating a Counter
Threshold Alert below. To implement a throughput alert, see
Activating a Throughput Threshold Alert on page 2-146.
Activating a Counter Threshold Alert
In order to activate a counter threshold alert using the CLI, you must
enter certain commands in the order specified in this section.
1. Create a counter threshold alert using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.addAlert on page 2-149. Use this
command to create a name for the threshold alert that you can use
in subsequent commands. The threshold alert must then be
configured using the other counter threshold alert commands.
2. Assign the threshold alert to a port using the command
perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.addPort on page 2-150.
3. Configure the threshold alert using other perf.thresholdalert
commands. For example, you may want to associate the threshold
alert counter with the threshold alert name using the
perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.setCounter command, described on
page 2-151. Use the following commands to view alert settings
and configure an alert:
• perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.removePort on page 2-151
• perf.thresholdAlerts.counter.setCounter on page 2-151
