Saving Your Configuration
When you configure
thresholds they are not permanent unless you save the changes. When you
have completed configuring thresholds, save your configuration to
flash memory, an external memory device, and/or a network
location using the Exec mode command save configuration.
For additional information on how to verify and save configuration
files, refer to the System
Administration Guide and the Command Line Interface
Reference.
AAA Accounting
Message Archive Size Thresholds
In the event that
the system cannot communicate with configured AAA accounting servers
(RADIUS or CGFs), either due to the
server being busy or loss of network connectivity, the system buffers,
or archives, the accounting messages.
Accounting message
archive size thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the number
of AAA accounting messages buffered in the archive during the specified
polling interval. Accounting requests are counted for all AAA accounting
servers that the system is configured to communicate with.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for accounting message archive size threshold based on
the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
number of archived messages > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
number of archived messages < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Accounting Message Archive Size Threshold
Use the following
example to configure the accounting message archive size threshold:
configure
threshold aaa-acct-archive-size <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaa-acct-archive-size interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaa-acct-archive-size
end
AAA Accounting
Failure Thresholds
Accounting
failure thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the number
of failed AAA accounting message requests that occur during the
specified polling interval. Accounting requests are counted for
all AAA accounting servers that the system is configured to communicate
with.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for accounting failures based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
number of failures > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
number of failures < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Accounting Failure Threshold
Use the following
example to configure AAA accounting failure threshold:
configure
threshold aaa-acct-failure <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaa-acct-failure
interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaa-acct-failure
end
AAA Accounting
Failure Rate Thresholds
Accounting
failure rate thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the percentage
of AAA accounting message requests that failed during the specified
polling interval. Accounting requests are counted for all AAA accounting
servers that the system is configured to communicate with.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for accounting failure rates based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
number of failures > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
number of failures < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Accounting Failure Rate Threshold
Use the following
example to configure AAA accounting failure rate threshold:
configure
threshold aaa-acct-failure-rate <high_thresh>[ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaa-acct-failure-rate interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaa-acct-failure
end
AAA Authentication
Failure Thresholds
Authentication
failure thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the number
of failed AAA authentication message requests that occur during
the specified polling interval. Authentication requests are counted
for all AAA authentication servers that the system is configured
to communicate with.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for authentication failures based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
number of failures > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
number of failures < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Authentication Failure Threshold
Use the following
example to configure AAA authentication failure threshold:
configure
threshold aaa-auth-failure <high_thresh>[ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaa-auth-failure
interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaa-auth-failure
end
AAA Authentication
Failure Rate Thresholds
Authentication
failure rate thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the percentage
of AAA authentication message requests that failed during the specified
polling interval. Authentication requests are counted for all AAA
authentication servers that the system is configured to communicate with.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for authentication failure rates based on the following
rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
failure percentage > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
failure percentage < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Authentication Failure Rate Threshold
Use the following
example for configuring AAA authentication failure rate threshold:
configure
threshold aaa-auth-failure-rate <high_thresh>[ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaa-auth-failure-rate interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaa-auth-failure
end
AAA Request Message
Retry Rate Thresholds
AAA request
message retry rate thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on
the percentage of request messages (both authentication and accounting)
that were retried during the specified polling interval. The percentage
is based on a message count taken for all AAA authentication and
accounting servers that the system is configured to communicate
with.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for request message retries based on the following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
failure percentage > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
failure percentage < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not
be generated until the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Authentication Failure Rate Threshold
Use the following
example for configuring AAA request message retriy rate threshold:
configure
threshold aaa-retry-rate <high_thresh>[ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaa-retry-rate
interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaa-retry-rate
end
AAA Manager Request
Queue Threshold
The AAA Manager
request queue threshold generates an alert or alarm based on the
usage percentage of the AAA Manager request queue during the specified
polling interval. The percentage is based on the total number of
pending requests for the AAA Manager and the total size allowed
for the queue. This is polled for each AAA Manager process.
Alerts or alarms are
triggered for the AAA Manager request queue threshold based on the
following rules:
- Enter condition: Actual
AAA Manager request queue percentage used > or = High Threshold
- Clear condition: Actual
AAA Manager request queue percentage used < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition
occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm is not generated until
the end of the polling interval.
Configuring AAA
Manager Request Queue Threshold
Use the following
example for configuring AAA Manager request queue threshold.
configure
threshold aaamgr-request-queue <high_thresh>[ clear <low_thresh> ]
threshold poll aaamgr-request-queue interval <time>
threshold monitoring
aaamgr-request-queue
end
