System Monitor overview
System Monitor provides customizable monitoring thresholds, which allow you to monitor the health of
each component of a switch. Whenever a switch component exceeds a configured threshold, System
Monitor automatically provides notification by means of e-mail or RASLog messages, depending on the
configuration.
Because of platform-specific values that vary from platform to platform, it was previously not possible to
configure platform-specific thresholds through a global CLI command. In Network OS 4.0.0 and later, it
is possible to monitor not only a stand-alone switch, but also individual switches in a management (or
fabric) cluster. This is done in RBridge ID configuration mode, by addressing the RBridge ID of the
selected switch. Both monitoring modes — logical chassis cluster and standalone — are illustrated in
this chapter.
Threshold and notification configuration procedures are described in the following sections.
Monitored components
The following FRUs and temperature sensors are monitored on supported switches:
• LineCard —Displays the threshold for the line card.
• MM —Displays the threshold for the management module.
• SFM —Displays the threshold for the switch fabric module device.
• cid-card —Displays the threshold for the chassis ID card component.
• compact-flash —Displays the threshold for the compact flash device.
• fan —Configures fan settings.
• power —Configures power supply settings.
• sfp —Displays the threshold for the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) device.
• temp—Displays the threshold for the temperature sensor component.
NOTE
CID cards can be faulted and removed. The system continues to operate normally as long as one CID
card is installed. If both CID cards are missing or faulted, the switch will not operate.
Monitored FRUs
System Monitor monitors the absolute state of the following FRUs:
