SYNOPSIS

mapsdb --show [all | history |
details [-day mm/dd/yyyy | -hr hour]]

mapsdb --clear [all | history | summary]

mapsdb --help

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to view the summary of the events or rules triggered and the objects on which the
rules were triggered over a specified period of time, and to clear the dashboard data. When used with the
--show option, this command displays the following information:

Switch Health Report

Displays the overall status of the switch. If the overall status is not healthy, the
contributing factors and the fenced ports are listed.

Summary Information

Displays the status of the monitoring categories needed to determine the current
health of the switch. The health state of each category is contributed to by a group
of monitoring systems or error counters, and the rules configured in the active
policy. The summary view displays the following information for each category:
information collected since midnight of the current day and the historical
information collected over the last 7 days.

The health state can be one of the following:

No Error

No error has occurred.

In operating range

The errors are within the thresholds configured in the active policy.

Out of operating range

The errors are above the configured thresholds and this triggers the rules
configured in the active policy. This indicates that some attributes of the switch are
operating out of the configured range.

Conditions contributing to health

Displays the conditions that contributed to the current switch status. The following
information is displayed: number of rules triggered in a category, repeat count,
triggered rules, execution time, the elements for which rules were triggered, and
the triggered value.

History Data

Displays the following historical data for a specific time window: the monitoring
system, the current value that triggered the rule, and the elements for which rules
were triggered.

If no operands are specified, this command displays the usage.

NOTES

This command requires a Fabric Vision license.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
