Access Points → Get AP Tunnel Packet Loss Trend

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves the packet loss trend data for a specific tunnel on an Aruba Central managed access point. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor the quality and performance of tunnels on access points by analyzing packet loss over a specified time range. For example, it can help identify connectivity issues or degradation in tunnel performance for troubleshooting and optimization.

Use Case Examples

  1. Monitoring packet loss trends on a specific tunnel of an access point to detect intermittent connectivity issues.
  2. Analyzing historical packet loss data to assess the impact of network changes or upgrades on tunnel performance.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting.
Domain API domain to interact with, such as monitoring or configuration domains.
Serial Number Access point serial number to identify the specific device for which the tunnel packet loss trend is retrieved.
Tunnel ID Tunnel identifier to specify which tunnel's packet loss trend data to retrieve.
Time Range Optional start and end times to define the period for which packet loss trend data is retrieved.

Output

JSON

  • packetLossTrend - Array or object containing the packet loss trend data points for the specified tunnel over the requested time range.

Dependencies

  • An API key credential for Aruba Central Next Gen API authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the serial number and tunnel ID are correctly specified and exist in the Aruba Central system.
  • Verify that the API domain is set to 'monitoring' as this operation requires monitoring domain access.
  • Check that the time range, if specified, is valid and in ISO 8601 format.
  • Enable Debug Mode to get detailed logs for troubleshooting if the node execution fails.
