SNMP traps are a massive pain in the arse to deal with. We currently don't go anywhere near them.
The hostname not being in the syslog message is something you should probably address with Cisco, but still syslog is probably the best way for you to alert on this.

by Syslog i receive
SYSLOG: %CAPWAP-3-ECHO_ERR: capwap_ac_sm.c:7401 Did not receive heartbeat reply;AP: d0:c2:82:3a:48:10
I apologize for maybe stupid question but never found if observium supports SNMP TRAP, you're not using it for now
SNMP Trap is best way because we can receive Name of AP, in Syslog we have only MAC Address

Doesn't the device report on syslog when an AP disappears?
This is probably a better way.

can i monitoring Cisco AP under WLC controller? by this case https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11394301/cisco-wlc-ap-count-over-... [https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11394301/cisco-wlc-ap-count-over-...]
probably WLC via SNMP can controll it, for me i need create Alert for unregistrer AP.
Can i monitor this by Observium?
