Wireless Device Monitoring

Monitor your entire wireless infrastructure from controllers down to individual clients. Track access point health, SSID performance, client signal quality, and rogue SSIDs from a single platform.

Cloudmon's Wireless Device Monitoring gives teams full visibility across every layer of the wireless environment. From the controller managing the infrastructure down to the individual client experiencing a poor signal, everything is surfaced in one place without needing to jump between vendor dashboards.

SNMP-based monitoring: Cloudmon monitors wireless infrastructure using SNMP. SNMP must be enabled on each wireless LAN controller, and the appropriate credentials must be added to Cloudmon before monitoring can begin. Access points, SSIDs, and clients are discovered automatically from the controller.

Wireless Overview

Navigate to Network → Wireless Devices to access the wireless overview. This page gives an immediate summary of the entire wireless environment with five headline counters: total WLC count, Access Points, SSIDs, connected Clients, and Rogue SSIDs. Status tiles below the counters show Active, Not Monitored, Down, Error, and Critical counts for the controller fleet. Distribution charts break the environment down by vendor and model, and Top WLC charts rank controllers by client count and access point count, making it easy to spot which controllers are carrying the most load at a glance.

What Wireless Monitoring gives you

Controller visibility
Monitor WLC availability, response time, AP count, client count, and rogue SSID count from a single view.
Access point health
See all APs across all controllers ranked by client load and traffic volume. Identify overloaded or underperforming access points instantly.
SSID performance
Track client count, access point coverage, and traffic per SSID to identify overloaded networks and plan capacity.
Client signal quality
Monitor all connected clients with SNR quality indicators that flag poor signals before users report issues.
Rogue SSID detection
Automatically detect and track rogue SSIDs picked up by access points across the environment.
Auto-discovery
Add a controller once. Cloudmon automatically discovers all associated access points, SSIDs, and clients.
