SAN monitoring - port description

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

        Rate mode is dedicated
        Transmit B2B Credit is 16

  • 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.
    STOR2RRD Health Status event for device WKFC05
    The operational status of the port fc3-3 is down. The operational status reason is linkFailure.
