NAME

ethextractbadlinks

Produces a CSV file listing all or some of the links that exceed ethreport -o error thresholds. ethextractbadlinks is a front end to the ethreport tool. The output from this tool can be imported into a spreadsheet or parsed by other scripts.

Syntax

ethextractbadlinks [ethreport options]

Options

Produces full help text.

The following options are passed to ethreport. This subset is considered typical and useful for this command. By design, the tool ignores -o/--output report option.

-X/--infile snapshot_input Generates a report using the data in the snapshot_input file. snapshot_input must have been generated during a previous -o snapshot run. '-' may be used as the snapshot_input to specify stdin.

-T/--topology topology_input Uses topology_input file to augment and verify fabric information. When used, various reports can be augmented with information not available electronically. '-' may be used to specify stdin.

-c/--config file Specifies the error thresholds configuration file. Default is /etc/eth-tools/ethmon.conf file.

-E/--eth config_file Specifies the Ethernet management configuration file. Default is /etc/eth-tools/mgt_config.xml file.

-p plane Name of the enabled plane defined in Mgt config file. Default is the first enabled plane.

-L/--limit Limits operation to exact specified focus with -F for port error counters check (-o errors). Normally, the neighbor of each selected port is also checked. Does not affect other reports.

-F/--focus point Specifies the focus area for report. Used to limit the scope of report. Refer to Point Syntax for details.
