Fault management overview
Fault management enables you to monitor your SAN using the following methods:
Monitor logs for specified conditions and notify you or run a script when the specified condition
is met.
Create event-based policies, which contain an event trigger and action.
Configure E-mail event notification.
Listen, forward, and process SNMP traps from Fabric OS switches, which eliminates the need
to poll switches for events.
Receive and forward Syslog messages from Fabric OS switches and Brocade HBAs (managed
using HCM Agent).
Fault management also supports application events.
