I have setup NPM to show wireless controllers and AP's. Is there any way to set NPM to send alerts if an AP goes down?
Are you looking for thin AP's or controllers or autonomous AP's? With 9.5, we ship some advanced alerts out of the box in advanced alerts around AP's you can use or use as a starting point to customize
we are using cisco controllers and cisco lightweight ap's. I can see the controllers and all ap's on orion in the wireless tab but dont get alerts if they go down. I was hoping it would alert the same way a node would on the network. I am now thinking I need to add the ap's to the maps? any ideas
cheers
Do you have this alerts we ship enabled?
Alert me when a Thin Wireless Access Point goes down
Thanks bshopp
I didnt have this enabled. I found this alert in the advanced alert settings and enabled it. I have added an action to send an email to alert a group of people.
to test this I disabled the switch port. the controler shows the AP has gone but orion does not email alert or show the AP as down. after 10 min refreshing the wireless page on orion the Ap still shows as up.
how does orion get the info from the AP? how long does it need to be down before Orion will see it as down, update the wireless web page and send alerts?
thanks again.
