sysmon fa link
sysmon fa link
Configures system monitoring for link errors on all or specified fabric adaptors. The no form of this
command resets the parameters to default values.
Syntax sysmon fa link {threshold events polling-interval | log-backoff value | action {none | syslog}}
no sysmon fa link
Command
Default
By default, the command takes the global values defined for threshold, log back-off, and action.
Parameters threshold Defines the failure threshold for the fabric adapter link error event. The
threshold is defined as N/W, where N is the number of events, and W is the
number of consecutive polling periods. When the threshold is reached,
actions configured for this event type will take place. Note that a threshold of
1/W implies that there is no threshold, and no event will be triggered.
events Specifies the threshold in terms of the number of events. Valid values are 1
through 10.
polling-interval Specifies the number of polling windows. The device polls the internal
registers at the interval specified by the sysmon timer value. Valid values
1-32. However, the polling window number must be equal or greater than the
number of events.
log-backoff If an error condition persists, it will be continuously logged (internally and/or
externally). The log back-off count skips configured number of logs before
logging again. This avoids overflow of the internal log or of the syslog.
action Specifies the action to take when a fabric adapter link error exceeds the
specified threshold and log back-off values.
none No action is taken. This is the default.
syslog The error is logged to syslog.

Modes
Global configuration mode.
Usage
Guidelines
This command is supported only on FSX devices.
Examples The following example configures the sysmon options for fabric adaptor links:
Brocade(config)# sysmon fa link threshold 3 7
Brocade(config)# sysmon fa link action syslog
Brocade(config)# sysmon fa link log-backoff 15
