System management card CompactFlash memory utilization thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the percentage of memory used for the CompactFlash during the polling interval. A single threshold enables memory utilization monitoring for both the active and standby system management cards allowing for alerts or alarms to be generated for each CompactFlash.

If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.

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.
