Currently only Cisco Controllers are supported in Orion Atlas for the creation of Wireless Heat Maps. I'm requesting Solarwinds include the Aruba Controller to the list of supported Controllers in Orion Atlas to create Wireless Heat Maps.
I'm hoping this makes it into the next release. Would really love to have Aruba support day one like Cisco, in the future.
I am really ambivalent over this because we have airwave that does this already; Our Orion database server is wimpy in comparison with what is needed to support airwave.
I'd need a way to turn it off if needed (we have over 11,000 Aruba wireless access points with over 250,000 active clients on our network on our busiest days)
Current support for redundant controllers in Aruba means we have over 15,000 APs in Orion
[Orion does not consider the same AP on the primary and the backup controller to be one AP, so you end up with duplicate APs in the database each time a failover happens.]
I'm looking to turn down duplicate monitoring of client traffic/stats in Solarwinds
So we have airwave as well. I would still like to see this in Orion for two reasons. First is for that single pain of glass pie in the sky dream. Second is actually because we have Airwaves, I'd like to be able to compare the two.
But your point is valid. Being able to turn it off is a must and I think you can do that now just by not using the heatmap option. And I fully agree it needs to handle controller pairs or M+1 deployments and not create duplicates. Not to simplify it but shouldn't the devs just have to code a mac address compare?
Not sure if Airwave has an open API but that might be an even better way to marry the capabilities. In the end, I'd just like one dashboard for 90% of my day to day needs. If I have to jump to other tools for those tougher situations, I'm fine with that.
I don't want to buy Airwave.. I wish everything would be in Solarwinds.
We use airwave too, but this is definitely a feature I would like to see added to SolarWinds and could potentially save money if it could fully replace airwave. We have decommissioned our Cisco WLC so I'm not able to test the capabilities of the Cisco wireless maps within SolarWinds, but I assume the ability to add walls and set floor height and attenuation is there, along with tracking down rogue APs.
I am even curious why this hasn't been yet ?!
Disappointing to finally have the time to test this only to find Aruba isn't supported.
How Long will it take?
This functionnality would be greatly appreciated !!!!
We would like to move all of our maps over to SolarWinds from AirWave as well.
Well that was fun. Measured out my data center and got everything started in Atlas only to see it's not Aruba capable.
Are we nearly there yet guys?
Another large implementation of Aruba being rolled out away from Cisco for someone already on SolarWinds - .
Solarwinds is our single pane of glass for a larger audience. Not being able to provide them with integrated heatmaps is undesirable. We have Airwave but only for "internal use only". We do need an alternative to give that integrated infrastructure view
Is there some sort of roadmap available for future functionality ? I see lots of threads being bumped but no feedback from Solarwinds whatsoever
I would like to bump this up as well!
Aruba is a dominant Wireless player and not supporting Aruba Wireless Heatmaps puts Solarwinds on a weak wicket.
Bump, Bump ...
I agree completely. Bump to this ^
Also how is it that not a single question in this thread has been answered?
This needs to happen. We have Airwave already but would like to see the heatmaps in Solarwinds for the single pain of glass.
Given today's mission question, it's frustrating that Aruba is STILL not supported. They're the second-biggest player in the market after Cisco, and I think the plethora of Solarwinds customers looking to integrate heat maps into NPM for Aruba infrastructure demonstrate the need to expand this support.
2 years later and this is still not supported?
Would love to have this supported.
BUMP BUMP
I was at Atmosphere 2018 last week in Vegas, and this increasingly tonedeaf lack of visibility, heatmapping, and added performance metrics in NPM has never been more glaringly obvious.
For the first time in five years, I actually thought about how easy it would be to ditch about half of our Solarwinds product and *still* get more information at a lower pricepoint.
I think I'm going to have to do it. NPM simply does not deliver what we need any longer.
I have been feeling the same way. Especially since Aruba Airwave gives me what I need. Great response and observation from Atmosphere.
our organization would benefit greatly from this, since we have several thousand WAPs and are currently using AirWave to monitor them.
I voted! Was looking to see if NPM can suppport Aruba Wireless heat map.
If I were you, I'd stick with AirWave. Different platform, sure - but it's a fool's game waiting for Solarwinds to supply the functionality. It is not and will likely never be a priority. We've jumped ship to AirWave and have no regrets.
i voted this!
our organization using aruba and hope this functionality will be provided on NPM.
Yes, most awaited feature....
bump!
I invoke the power of DanielleH
maybe she can shed some light to see if this feature request is being considered or worked on..
Let's do this!
Considering they are one of the most popular out there it would be nice. Solarwinds needs to look at other vendors besides having a cisco concentration. We are ALL Aruba, Alcatel-Lucent and Palo-Alto campus wide...As nice as Solarwinds is, it does make for difficult monitoring and too many platforms...like Linuxsurfer stated "Let's do this!"
Seriously, they *STILL* haven't added this?
All the info is there in Aruba controllers, same as Cisco controllers.
Hell, if it's just snmp gets, maybe with a bit of math to translate if co-ordinate systems are different.
Give us access to the scripts and we'll do it ourselves!
or just NOT spend some money with solarwinds, (will that get them to listen?)
