SAN monitoring - port description

idansair

Hi,

I configured HW event alerting.
All is good, i'm receiving email alerts.

My question is:
there is a way to add more details?
for example:
Can i add port description?
"STOR2RRD Health Status event for device <SW-NAME> The operational status of the port fc1-7 is down. The operational status reason is linkFailLossOfSignal."

Thanks,
Idan.

Hi Idan,

which description do you want to add exactly?

Hi Karel,

Port description (show interface fc1/7 description).

Thanks,
Idan.

Hi Idan,

can you send us some example of that description what you want?

Here is an example form our lab:

cisco01# show interface fc1/7
fc1/7 is up
    Hardware is Fibre Channel, SFP is short wave laser w/o OFC (SN)
    Port WWN is xxx
    Admin port mode is F, trunk mode is on
    snmp link state traps are enabled
    Port mode is F, FCID is 0x330000
    Port vsan is 1
    Speed is 4 Gbps
    Rate mode is dedicated
    Transmit B2B Credit is 16
    Receive B2B Credit is 16
    Receive data field Size is 2112
    Beacon is turned off
    5 minutes input rate 25771952 bits/sec, 3221494 bytes/sec, 1817 frames/sec

      1 output OLS, 1 LRR, 2 NOS, 0 loop inits
      16 receive B2B credit remaining
      16 transmit B2B credit remaining
      16 low priority transmit B2B credit remaining

I agree with the OP. It would be useful to have the port description shown in the content of the email. This would save me having to look it up. This is a Cisco example, but Brocade switches can also have a port name set.

Here is an example of an email for a port issue.
