Monitor all access points across your wireless environment. Track client load, traffic volume, signal coverage, and availability without checking each controller individually.
Access points are discovered automatically when a wireless LAN controller is added to Cloudmon. There is no need to add them individually. Navigate to Network → Wireless Devices → Access Points to view all APs across all monitored controllers in a single list.
The Access Points list page shows summary tiles for Active, Not Monitored, Down, Error, and Critical counts across the entire AP fleet. Charts at the top rank access points by client count, transmitted bytes, and received bytes, making it immediately clear which APs are under the most load without needing to drill into individual controllers.
Each access point is listed with its IP address, channel, physical location, MAC address, assigned monitoring template, current client count, SSID, TX bytes, RX bytes, and last polled time. This gives teams everything needed to quickly identify an AP by location, understand how busy it is, and see how much traffic it is handling.
Clicking into an individual AP opens its detail view, showing availability, downtime, SSID, client count, and active alarms. Device information covers the MAC address, software version, category, assigned profile, and location. An Overview panel shows where the AP sits within the controller hierarchy via a treeview.
Having all access points from all controllers in one list is particularly useful in multi-controller environments. When a specific area of a building is experiencing complaints, teams can filter by location or sort by client count to identify the relevant AP without knowing in advance which controller it belongs to.
Alarm triggers can be configured per access point to alert on availability and client count thresholds. Learn more.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
| Access points not appearing in the list | The parent controller has not completed its first full poll, or the APs are not registered to the controller | Wait for the next poll cycle and confirm the APs are associated to the controller in its management interface |
| AP showing as Down | The AP has lost connectivity to the controller or has gone offline | Check the AP status in the controller management interface and verify physical connectivity and power |
| Client count unexpectedly high on one AP | Clients are not roaming correctly and are remaining associated to a single AP | Review roaming settings on the controller and check whether nearby APs have capacity available |
