OneView, using Scheduler for APs Down Summary possible?

[Jtonic]

Hello All,

In OneView (Netsight Suite 6.3.0.162) there is a wonderful built in report for "APs Down Summary" under Reports>Wireless>APs Down Summary. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get Scheduler to automate the emailing of this built in report. I can figure out how to create a new schedule but this report is not present in any of the available options.

Any input will be greatly appreciated. If this is not possible, we are looking for any solution that will automate giving us a daily list VIA email of APs that are "Down" status.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Chris - Thanks for the reply. I did see (and read on another forum post) that Console has built in alert criteria for "AP in service" and "AP out of service". While we use Netsight Console for all of our hardware monitoring and alerting, as you mentioned, we hesitate going that direction with APs for the exact reason you point out, 50-100 additional alerts per building, per unplanned outage. We will certainly give it a try and limit the recipient group to see how it behaves. I still think that nice summary report, once a day in my Inbox would be sweet...

Hi Jon, We have an alert setup in Netsight console Alarms Mgr. that lets us know the moment an AP "goes down." Due to a lot of things it can be a bit like the boy that cried wolf from time-to-time, but it has also helped us find bad ports(an AP will flap from time-to-time) and there is certainly no doubt when a whole building goes down - 40 APs = 80 alerts (one for each controller in HA). Let me know if anyone is interested in this alert.
