Performance metrics of a wireless LAN controller

After you add a wireless LAN controller (WLC) monitor, Site24x7 will start collecting the performance metrics of your WLC device to analyze the connections. You can set thresholds for these metrics to receive alerts if any of the limits are breached. This ensures that you stay in control and are notified if anything goes wrong.

Summary

View high-level performance stats of the WLC over the selected time range.

Metric	Description
Availability	Uptime percentage of the WLC.
Downtimes	Number of outages and total downtime duration.
Response Time	Average SNMP response time from the WLC.
CPU Utilization	Indicates the percentage of CPU used by the WLC, helping identify performance bottlenecks.

Inventory Details	Lists the WLC's hardware and software attributes: • Device Name • Vendor • Device Model • WLC Name • MAC Address • Serial Number • Hardware Version • Software Version • System Description • Max AP Count • Max Client Count

SSID

Analyze SSID-specific usage and client metrics.

Column	Description
SSID	Name of the SSID.
Number of Access Points	Count of APs broadcasting the SSID.
Clients Connected	Number of clients connected to the SSID.
Traffic Usage	Total bandwidth consumed under each SSID.

Access Points

Lists all APs discovered through the WLC and their key operational data.

Column	Description
Name	Name of the access point.
IP Address	Assigned IP address of the AP.
MAC Address	MAC address of the AP.
Channels	Operating channels of the AP.
Monitored	Status showing if the AP is actively monitored. Click the plus icon + to start monitoring the access point.
