Performance Monitor overview

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
The Advanced Monitoring option in the Performance Graphs window displays predefined reports
and filter-based performance monitoring. You can use this feature to track the following:
•
The number of words received and transmitted in Fibre Channel frames with a defined SID/DID
pair.
•
The number of times a particular filter pattern in a frame is transmitted by a port.
For detailed information on performance monitoring, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
Performance graphs
Each performance graph is displayed individually in a window, so it can be minimized, maximized,
resized, and closed.
Graphs within the Performance Monitoring window are updated every 30 seconds. When you first
display the graph or if you modify the graph (such as to add additional ports), you might have to
wait up to 30 seconds before the new values are shown.
When you have multiple graphs open in the Performance Monitoring window, you can perform the
following tasks:
•
Select Window > Tile to view all graphs at once, tiled in the Performance Monitoring window.
•
Select Window > Cascade to view one graph at a time.
•
Select Window > Close All to close all open Performance Monitor graphs in the Performance
Monitoring window.
In addition, the Window menu lists all open graphs. You can click Window, and then select a graph
name to view that graph.
The Tunnel and TCP Graph option in the Performance Graphs window displays real time
performance monitoring charts for Brocade 7800 Extension Switch and FX8-24 DCX Extension
Blade. This option is not available on other platforms.
Admin Domain considerations
You must consider the following when configuring Admin Domain:
•
If you are not the switch owner, only directly and indirectly-owned E_Ports, including EX_Ports
are available.
•
You can use the Advanced Performance Monitoring feature only in AD255 if there are user
defined Admin domains or in AD0 if there are no other user-defined Admin Domains.
Otherwise, access to Advanced Monitoring features in the Performance Graphs menu are
unavailable.
•
It is recommended that you define a user with a switchadmin role and give that user access to
AD255 for the purpose of data collecting using the Advanced Performance Monitor.
