AP Live Events

Aruba Central (on-premises) allows you to troubleshoot issues related to access points (APs). The AP Live events feature is similar to client live troubleshooting, but in this case, we can enable live events at the AP level. Currently users can subscribe to Radio, VPNVirtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two., and Spectrum events.

The AP must be running Aruba InstantOS 8.5.0.0 or later versions to support this feature. AP Live Events is not supported in single node deployments.

Troubleshooting an AP

Aruba Central allows you to troubleshoot issues related to an AP in real time for detailed analysis.

To troubleshoot an AP at the device level, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Network Operations app, select an AP from the Device list.

    The dashboard context for the selected AP is displayed.

  2. Under Analyze, click Live Events. The Live Events page is displayed.

The live monitoring session starts automatically. The status of the troubleshooting is displayed every minute. The troubleshooting session runs for a duration of 15 minutes. You can stop live troubleshooting at any point by clicking Stop Troubleshooting to go back to the historical view.

After the live troubleshooting session ends, the details of the events are displayed in the live events table.
