Usage
Guidelines
Logging every error may not provide any new information, but adds significantly to the number of
error entries that need to be analyzed. You can configure the system monitoring utility to ignore a
certain number of errors (within a stream of consecutive errors) before writing the entry to the log
again.
This option helps you further isolate issues that randomly occur from issues because of device
failure. The sysmon utility keeps a counter of the number of times the threshold value is exceed. If
the number exceeds the back-off value, the error is logged as specified by the action option.
Examples The following example sets the number of times to skip logging to 20.
Brocade(config)# sysmon log-backoff 20
