Access Points → Get APs with Performance Issues

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves information about Access Points (APs) that have performance issues within a specified site. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor and identify APs experiencing problems such as high channel utilization, low channel quality, high error rates, or high CPU utilization. Practical examples include troubleshooting wireless network performance and proactively managing network health by detecting problematic APs early.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a list of APs with performance issues for a specific site to analyze and resolve network problems.
  2. Monitor AP performance thresholds to trigger alerts or automated actions when issues are detected.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Enables detailed debug logs for troubleshooting the node execution.
Domain Specifies the API domain to interact with, set to 'monitoring' for this operation.
Site ID The identifier of the site for which to retrieve AP performance issue information.
Issue Detection Options Collection of thresholds to detect performance issues on APs, including high channel utilization, low channel quality, high error rate, and high CPU utilization.

Output

JSON

  • apId - Identifier of the Access Point with performance issues.
  • issueType - Type of performance issue detected on the AP.
  • channelUtilization - Current channel utilization percentage of the AP.
  • channelQuality - Current channel quality percentage of the AP.
  • errorRate - Current error rate percentage of the AP.
  • cpuUtilization - Current CPU utilization percentage of the AP.

Dependencies

  • Requires Aruba Central Next Gen API access with appropriate OAuth2 credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Site ID is correct and the site exists in the Aruba Central environment.
  • Verify that the OAuth2 API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access monitoring data.
  • If debug mode is enabled, review detailed logs to identify issues with API requests or data processing.
  • Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or network connectivity issues. Resolving these typically involves checking credentials, input values, and network access.
