Section 2
Events and Event Logging
Messages originate from the switch or from the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007
application in response to events that occur in the fabric.
2.1
Understanding Severity Levels
Events are classified by the following severity levels:
„
Alarm – The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the
administration or operation 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 errors to customize when to
generate an alarm.
„
„
Critical – The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to
the administration or operation of the fabric, but require no action.
Warning – The warning level describes events that are generally not
disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but are more
important than the informative level events.
„
Informative – The informative level describes routine events associated with
a normal fabric.
2.2
Displaying Events using the Event Browser
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 provides an Event Browser, which displays events
from the switch event log and events that are generated by Enterprise Fabric
Suite 2007 itself. The Event Browser formats events by severity, timestamp,
source, type, and description. Events read from the switch event log obtain the
timestamp from the switch clock, while events generated by Enterprise Fabric
Suite 2007 use the workstation clock.
The Event Browser can maintain a maximum of 1500 events. Once the maximum
is reached, the oldest events are discarded and replaced with new events. To
display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event
Browser, or click the Events button on the tool bar. When you close Enterprise
Fabric Suite 2007, all events in the Event Browser are lost. To save events to file
before closing Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, open the File menu from the Event
Browser window and select Save As. For more information about the Event
Browser, refer to the Switch Management User’s Guide for your switch.

Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
S
2.3
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. Refer to the Installation Guide for
your switch for more information about the Show Log command.
In the command line interface, each message has the following format:
[ordinal][time_stamp][severity][source][message_ID][message_text]
[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 2007.
[severity]– The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning,
I–Informative.
[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
Consider the following Informative level event example 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]

Configuring the Event Log
A
2.4
Configuring the Event Log
You can customize what events that 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
Refer to the Command Line Interface Guide for your switch for more information
about the Set Log command.
2.5
Archiving and Downloading the Event Log
You can use the command line interface to create a file on the switch that contains
the most recent 200 entries plus the previous 1000 entries. This file can then be
downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To create and download a log file, do
the following:
1.
2.
Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log.
The Set Log Archive command creates a file on the switch named logfile.
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> set log archive
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
S
2.6
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 the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 or
the command line interface:
„
„
„
„
„
„
CRC errors
Decode errors
ISL connections
Device logins
Device logouts
Loss-of-signal errors
To configure port threshold alarms using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, open the
Switch menu in the faceplate display, and select Port Threshold Alarm
Configuration. The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration dialog shown in
prompts you to enable or disable all alarms, select an event, set triggers, set a
sample window and enable or disable an individual alarm. Refer to the Switch
Management User’s Guide for your switch for more information about port
threshold alarms.
To configure port threshold alarms using the command line interface, use the Set
Config Threshold command. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for
more information about the command line interface and the Set Config command.
