Hello,
We have an access ponit in every floor and we want a dashboard to see easily network problems and their origin, i mean we want more information about our network, beacuse we monitorice our access ponts and the number of peoble connected. Any suggest?
thank you
Hi
SolarWinds NPM has built in functionality for monitoring wireless infrastructure. You do not say if you have thin client or independent AP's, but both are support. Thin WLC's are obviously an awful lot easier as you just add the controller device to Orion and it will automatically capture all AP data. Orion NPM supports a number of vendors - Wireless Network Monitor - Easily Manage Wi-Fi Networks | SolarWinds
The Wireless page is useful (http://oriondemoeu.solarwinds.com/Orion/Wireless/WirelessSummary.aspx), but it is very straightforward to built a summary page which will allow you to view the KPI's from the wireless infrastructure, show out using Wireless Heat Maps and have search box capabilities (Custom Query widget).
If your device is not supported then either custom SNMP pollers or SAM will allow for data collection.
With more information I can be more specific, but this should get you going.

As Mark asked above there are a few more details we would need to assist with this. Specific models and metrics you are looking for. For example, once I added the Cisco Meraki dashboard to NPM using the API, it picked up all the access points. This is a sample of one AP and the dashboard controller.
You can also get all the wireless clients listed out besides the APs themselves.
