MAPS overview
The Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS) is an optional storage area network (SAN) health
monitor supported on all switches running Fabric OS 7.2.0 or later that allows you to enable each
switch to constantly monitor itself for potential faults and automatically alerts you to problems
before they become costly failures.
MAPS tracks a variety of SAN fabric metrics and events. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, and
environmental parameters enables early fault detection and isolation as well as performance
measurements.
MAPS provides a set of pre-defined monitoring policies that allow you to immediately use MAPS on
activation. Refer to “Predefined policies” for more information on using these policies.
In addition, MAPS provides customizable monitoring thresholds. These allow you to configure
specific groups of ports or other elements so that they share a common threshold value. You can
configure MAPS to provide notifications before problems arise, for example, when network traffic
through a port is approaching the bandwidth limit. MAPS lets you define how often to check each
switch and fabric measure and specify notification thresholds. Whenever fabric measures exceed
these thresholds, MAPS automatically provides notification using several methods, including e-mail
messages, SNMP traps, and log entries. Refer to “MAPS Groups, Policies, Rules, and Actions” for
more information on using these features.
The MAPS dashboard provides you with the ability to view in a quick glance what is happening on
the switch, and helps administrators dig deeper to see details of exactly what is happening on the
switch (for example, the kinds of errors, the error count, and so on.) Refer to “MAPS dashboard
overview” for more information.
MAPS provides a seamless migration of all customized Fabric Watch thresholds to MAPS, thus
allowing you to take advantage of the advanced capabilities of MAPS. MAPS provides additional
advanced monitoring, such as monitoring for the same error counters across different time
periods, or having more than two thresholds for any error counters. MAPS also provides support for
you to monitor the statistics provided by the Flow Monitor feature of Flow Vision.
Refer to “Differences between Fabric Watch and MAPS configurations” and “Migrating from
Fabric Watch to MAPS” for details.
