Re: Aruba Instant AP wireless info? (clients, etc)
I’d be happy to help however I can with this..
I'd really like to be able to see some information from my APs around usage/clients/errors/etc....
if you want more mib walks i can update the jira ticket with them again? but im not sure there will be much else to glean as not much has changed here..
if that's jus not gonna happen .... for.... whatever reason ...
is there a vendor whose APs *ARE* well supported?
I'd kinda figured this would be a solved problem.... or at least, wouldn't still be an issue several years later.
is there anything I can do to help get traction here?
I'm not sure what help is actually helpful and what's obnoxious ;)

I do have a set of walks from an aruba device and might look at adding some support for them, though.
Wireless is a bit of a mess, all of the vendors present the data in different ways with different demarcations, so it's quite difficult to collect and handle all of the different vendors in a sane manner.

howdy all!
does anyone else have the problem of seeing no wireless stats in observium from Aruba instant APs?

Ubiquiti seem to work pretty well.

aye.... Downside there... then yer stuck with UBNT gear that barely works ;)
https://community.ui.com/questions/Ubuiquity-ubnt-unifi-where-did-the-wheels...
I'd really had high hopes for UBNT.... had quite a bit of their gear... but was burned too many times by software that just wasn't as good as the skeleton hardware they have... The gear is ... mostly good... admittedly... the "support" however, is pretty lackluster.... and their willingness to work with their community is nonexistent.
they have a crew of engineers used to designing very resource-efficient and lean gear.. and spec hardware out accordingly.... and then they have devs who write everything in node, ndd leverage software components which aren't terribly efficient, and haven't been properly tuned to run on anemic hardware....
So you end up with, for example, a "pro" nvr with 4 lightweight arm cores, with 4g of ram, doing software raid on sata-only drives, running an 8thread postgres server, doing video transcoding in node, and... (there's more but I'm wei-off-topic here )
:/ TLDR: Not sure the functional observium graphs offset the rest of the pain that comes with their gear... But it's good to know they're supported! Thanks Brian! w
