Managing Events and Alarms

  • Viewing Events
    An event is an occurrence or the detection of certain conditions in and around the network. An AP being rebooted, an AP changing its IP address, and a user updating an AP's configuration are all examples of events.
  • Sending SNMP Traps and Email Notifications for Events
    By default, the controller saves a record of all events that occur to its database. You can configure the controller to also send SNMP traps and email notifications for specific events whenever they occur.
  • Configuring Event Threshold
    An event threshold defines a set of conditions related to the controller hardware that need to be met before the controller triggers an event. You can accept the default threshold values or you can update the threshold values to make them more suitable to your deployment or controller environment.
  • Configuring Alarms
    Alarms are a type of event that typically warrants your attention. Alarms are generated by managed access points and the controller system (control plane and data plane).
