Buffer Credit Monitoring

I was wondering if anyone had any idea if its possible to monitor buffer creidts in EMC Control Centre?

We had an issue last week with a slow drain device that turned out to be a faulty fibre cable, but it has triggered questions about why we didnt notice the issue? We noticed the issue by using the bottleneckmon and porterrshow commands on the fabric switches so have come familiar with this output;

I can see alerts for CSC and Class3 Discards but wonder if there is anyway to monitor the tim_txcrd_z  stats in ECC? I cant see a way, but before i tell my boss that it cant be done in ECC i thought i would ask the opinions of others. And if ECC cannot monitor these stats, does anyone know of a good way to monitor them remotely?

You Can setup Maps to monitor your switches.
