Diagnosing Switch Problems Monitoring Switch Health
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 34-39
Viewing Health Statistics for the Switch
The show health command can be used to display health statistics for the switch.
To display health statistics, enter the show health command, followed by the slot/port location.
For example, to view health statistics for the entire switch, enter the show health command without 
specifying any additional parameters. A screen similar to the following example is displayed, as shown 
below:
-> show health 
* - current value exceeds threshold
Device                          1 Min  1 Hr  1 Hr

In the screen sample shown above, the Device Resources field displays the device resources that are being 
measured (for example, Receive displays statistics for traffic received by the switch; Transmit/Receive 
displays statistics for traffic transmitted and received by the switch; Memory displays statistics for switch 
memory; and CPU displays statistics for the switch CPU). The Limit field displays currently configured 
device threshold levels as percentages of available bandwidth. The Curr field displays current bandwidth 
usage for the specified device resource. 1 Min. Avg. refers to the average device bandwidth used over a 1 
minute period. 1 Hr. Avg. refers to the average device bandwidth used over a 1 hour period, and 1 Hr. 
Max. refers to the maximum device bandwidth used over a 1 hour period.
Note. If the Current value appears with an asterisk displayed next to it, the Current value exceeds the 
Threshold limit. For example, if the Current value for Memory is displayed as 85* and the Threshold Limit 
is displayed as 80, the asterisk indicates that the Current value has exceeded the Threshold Limit value.
