Configuring Statistics Threshold Policies
Statistics Threshold Policy
A statistics threshold policy monitors statistics about certain aspects of the system and generates an event if
the threshold is crossed. You can set both minimum and maximum thresholds. For example, you can configure
the policy to raise an alarm if the CPU temperature exceeds a certain value, or if a server is overutilized or
underutilized.
These threshold policies do not control the hardware or device-level thresholds enforced by endpoints, such
as the CIMC. Those thresholds are burned in to the hardware components at manufacture.
Cisco UCS enables you to configure statistics threshold policies for the following components:
• Servers and server components
• Uplink Ethernet ports
• Ethernet server ports, chassis, and fabric interconnects
• Fibre Channel port
You cannot create or delete a statistics threshold policy for Ethernet server ports, uplink Ethernet ports,
or uplink Fibre Channel ports. You can only configure the existing default policy.
Note
Creating a Server and Server Component Threshold Policy
This procedure documents how to create a server and server component threshold policy on the Server
tab. You can also create and configure these threshold policies within the appropriate organization in the
Policies node on the LAN tab, SAN tab, and under the Stats Management node of the Admin tab.
