1 Events and Event Logging
Messages originate from the switch, from Enterprise Fabric Suite, or from the
QuickTools web applet in response to events that occur in the fabric. This chapter
describes the following topics:
Understanding Severity Levels
Displaying Events using the Event Browser
Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
Configuring the Event Log
Archiving and Downloading the Event Log
Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds
Understanding Severity Levels
Events are classified by the following severity levels:
Table 1-1. Event Severity Levels
Severity Level Description
Fault Describes events that may require assistance from your autho-
rized maintenance provider . Each fault event has a correspond ing
alarm message.
Alarm Describes events that are disruptive to the administration or oper-
ation of a fabric and require administrator intervention. Alarms are
always logged and always displayed on the screen. Alarm thresholds can be defined for certain port er rors, allowin g you to custo mize the point at which an alarm will be generated.
Critical Describes events that are generally disruptive to the administra-
tion or operation of the fabric, but require no action.
Warning Describes events that are generally not disruptive to the adminis-
tration or operation of the fabric, but are mo re imp or tant than the
informative level events.
Informative Describes routine events associated with a normal fabric.
59060-07 D 1-1
1–Events and Event Logging
Displaying Events using the Event Browser
Displaying Events using the Event Browser
Both Enterprise Fabric Suite and QuickTools have an event browser that displays
a list of events generated by the switches in the fabric and by the applications
themselves. Event browser messages are permanently discarded when you close
an Enterprise Fabric Suite or QuickTools session; however, you can save these
events to a file on the workstation before you close the session and read the file
later with a text editor or browser.
The information in the event browsers is presented in the following order: seve rity,
time, source, type, and description of the event. The maximum number of entries
allowed on a switch is 1,200. Both the Enterprise Fabric Suite and QuickTools
event browser can contain a maximum of 10,000 event messages. Once the
maximum is reached, the event list wraps, and the oldest events in the event list
are deleted.
Event browser entries from the switch use the switch time stamp. Event browser
entries from Enterprise Fabric Suite and QuickTools use the management station
and workstation time stamps, respectively. You can filter and sort the contents of
both event browsers.
The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and Enterprise Fabric Suite o r
QuickTools is running. If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences
dialog, the next time Enterprise Fabric Suite or QuickTools is started, all events
from the switch log will be displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when
Enterprise Fabric Suite or QuickTools is started and later enabled, only those
events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be
displayed.
Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface
automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or
Show Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm
messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur.
1-2 59060-07 D
1–Events and Event Logging
Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
In the CLI, each message has the following format:
[ordinal][time_stamp][severity][source][message_ID][message_text]
Table 1-2. Event Log Message Format
Component Description
[ordinal] A number assigned to each message in sequence since that last
time the alarm history was cleared.
[time_stamp] The time the alarm was issued in the format
day-month-hh:mm:ss:ms-yyyy. This time stamp comes from the
switch for events that originate with the switch, and from the
workstation for events that originate from Enterprise Fabric
Suite.
[severity] The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning, I–Informa-
tive.
[source] The program module or application that generated the event.
Sources include Zoning, Switch, PortApp, EPort, Management
Server. Alarms do not include the source.
[message_ID] A number that identifies the message using the following format:
category.message_number
[message_text] The alarm message text
Here is a sample of an informative-level message from the Switch source:
[1][Wed May 26 12:30:29.965 UTC 2004][I][8400.0022][Switch][Successful login user
(snmp@IB-session6) with admin privilege]
For more information about the CLI commands, refer to the Command Line
Interface Guide for your switch.
59060-07 D 1-3
1–Events and Event Logging
Configuring the Event Log
Configuring the Event Log
You can customize what events are recorded in the switch event log using the
Set Log command. With the Set Log command, you can filter the events to be
recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level. You can choose from
the following component events:
E_Port events
Management server events
Name server events
Port events
Switch management events
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) events
Zoning events
For more information about the CLI commands, refer to the Command Line
Interface Guide for your switch.
Archiving and Downloading the Event Log
You can use the CLI to create a file on the switch that contains the most recent
1200 entries. This file can then be downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To
create and download a log file, do the following:
1. Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log
using the Set Log Archive command.
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> set log archive
This creates a file on the switch named logfile.
2. Open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images
and password images. Transfer the file logfile in binary mode with the Get
command.
>ftp ip_address
user:images
password: images
ftp>bin
ftp>get logfile
xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs.
ftp>quit

Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds
Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds
You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring
an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample
window, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm. You can configure port alarm
thresholds for the following port events using Enterprise Fabric Suite or the CLI:
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors
Decode errors
Inter-switch Link (ISL) connections
Device logins
Device logouts
Loss-of-signal errors
To configure port threshold alarms using Enterprise Fabric Suite, do the following:
1. Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display, and select Port Threshold
Alarm Configuration.
1–Events and Event Logging
2. The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration dialog prompts you to enable or
disable all alarms, select an event, set triggers, set a sample window and
enable or disable an individual alarm. For more information, refer to the
Enterprise Fabric Suite User Guide for your switch.
To configure port threshold alarms using the command line interface, use the
Set Config Threshold command. For more information, refer to the Command
Line Interface Guide for your switch.
