Site Alerts

Aruba Central allows you to configure and enable this alert for aggregated device disconnects. Aggregate device disconnect is intended to reduce the number of alerts that are generated for customers that prefer to have a single notification or a handful of notifications for mass outages where several devices may go down simultaneously in a given site.

For example, if site alerts are configured with Severity as Major, Duration being 10 minutes, and Site as site1, a single alert saying “Aggregated Device Disconnects” is raised on the user interface for every set of device belonging to “site1” that goes down within 10 minutes of the first DOWN event limited to 100 devices per alert. Any device that is not a part of “site1” is treated as not being aggregated.

The alert content includes the following information for each device:

Hostname

Device Serial Number

MACMedia Access Control. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network. Address

IP Address

Unlike other alerts types, site alerts will not be auto closed.
