MAPS structural elements
MAPS has the following structural elements: categories, groups, rules, and policies. Table 109
provides a brief description of each structural element.
MAPS categories, measures, and actions
Table 110 details the object types for each category, the threshold measures for each object type,
and the action you can configure when a threshold is crossed.
TABLE 109 MAPS structural elements
Element Description
Action What MAPS is to do if a condition defined in a rule evaluates to true. For more information, refer to
“MAPS actions” on page 1347.
Category A grouping of similar elements that can be monitored (for example, “Security Violations”). For more
information, refer to
“MAPS monitoring categories” on page 1337.
Condition A true/false trigger created by the combination of a time base and a threshold value. For more
information, refer to “MAPS conditions” on page 1346.
Measure A value that can be monitored. This includes switch conditions, data traffic levels, error messages, and
many other values. For more information, refer to the specific category in
“MAPS monitoring
categories” on page 1337.
Object An object that can be monitored. This includes FC ports, SFP transceivers, local switch, flow, and other
values. For more information, refer to
“MAPS categories, measures, and actions” on page 1335.
Group A collection of similar objects that you can monitor as a single entity. For example, you can create a
group of E_Ports from different devices to be monitored by the same policies. A flow can be imported
as a group. For more information, refer to
“MAPS groups” on page 1365.
Rule A rule associates a condition with one or more actions that need to occur when the specified condition
is triggered. For more information, refer to
“MAPS rules” on page 1346.
Policy A set of rules defining thresholds for triggering the actions MAPS takes when that threshold is
triggered. When a policy is enabled, all of the rules in the policy are in effect. For more information,
refer to
“MAPS policies” on page 1344.
