Cambium cnMaestro monitoring
Cambium cnMaestro is a cloud-hosted and on-premises network management platform that centralizes visibility across Cambium Networks' Wi-Fi, switching, wireless backhaul, and passive optical network (PON) hardware. Site24x7's Cambium cnMaestro monitoring connects to your cnMaestro controller over its REST API and polls every Managed Account beneath it, so you can track the availability and health of Wi-Fi access points (APs), switches, edges, wireless devices, and PON optical line terminals (OLTs) from a single Site24x7 dashboard.
Use cases
- Track the health of every Cambium device across multiple customer sites or branch offices without logging in to cnMaestro separately for each account.
- Get instant alerts when a Wi-Fi AP, switch, edge, wireless device, or PON OLT managed by cnMaestro goes down or enters a critical state.
- Correlate outages across a Managed Account to identify whether an issue originates at the controller, a specific site, or an individual device.
Benefits
- View the availability, downtime, and device inventory for every cnMaestro Managed Account from one place.
- Visualize how Managed Accounts and devices relate to each other using the topology map.
- Reduce the mean time to resolution by pairing the outage history with alert logs for each device.
- Extend existing Site24x7 alerting, on-call schedules, and third-party integrations to Cambium devices—no separate tool required.
