Hi

Yes, this is exactly what we need. We have a bunch of wlan aps that are
managed by a wlan controller and you cannot query them with snmp
directly. However (in addition to the wlan controller which is already
monitored via Observium) i want all aps to be monitored via ping only to
be able to see issues like poe-failure, switch/cable failure etc.

Best,

Thomas
