Description

Template to monitor Brocade ZXTM (Virtual Traffic Manager) Node parameters like Node State, Traffic In, Traffic Out, Current TCP Connections, Pooled Connections, New Connections and Failures. Validated on Brocade Virtual Traffic Manager v10.1.

Prerequisites

Device should support ZXTM-MIB-SMIv2.mib OIDs and it should have SNMP credentials attached.

How to Apply: This template is All instance selection based. It will not ask user to select any instance(s) while assigning it to a device.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
    • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
