Modes
Privileged EXEC mode.
Usage Guidelines
This command enables system monitoring globally, and covers all event-specific system monitoring
configuration as well. If specific configuration is not made for different types, default values defined at
the global level are used.
Examples
The following example enables all system monitoring tasks at the global level:
Brocade# enable system-monitoring all
sysmon timer
Configures the global system monitoring timer.
Syntax
sysmon timer minutes
Parameters
minutes
Specifies the system monitoring timer in minutes. The range of values is 1 through 60. The
default value is 3.
Modes
Global configuration mode.
Examples
The following example sets the system monitoring timer to five minutes:
Brocade(config)# sysmon timer 5
sysmon log-backoff
Defines the number of times to skip logging an event before logging again at the global level. The no
form of this command resets the parameter to default value.
Syntax
sysmon log-backoff number
no sysmon log-backoff
Parameters
number
Specifies the number of times to skip an event logging before logging again.
Modes
Global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines
Logging every error may not provide any new information, but adds significantly to the number of error
entries that need to be analyzed. You can configure the system monitoring utility to ignore a certain
number of errors (within a stream of consecutive errors) before writing the entry to the log again.
This option helps you further isolate issues that randomly occur from issues because of device failure.
The sysmon utility keeps a counter of the number of times the threshold value is exceed. If the number
exceeds the back-off value, the error is logged as specified by the action option.
Examples
The following example sets the number of times to skip logging to 20.
Brocade(config)# sysmon log-backoff 20
sysmon timer
