how to monitor devices that are using backhaul failover?

[w1f1n00b]

Backhaul failover is set in the radio profile, allowing a device to use a wireless backhaul link when necessary. Is there any way to track or monitor if a device makes this change?

Hi John,

If I am not wrong, other than listing the device mode on the Manage Devices page, getting the notification for the backhaul failover is not natively supported by XIQ or HiveOS/IQE.

Maybe you can look into using XAPI. Device Mode should be included in an XAPI call like below. 

https:///xapi/v1/monitor/devices?ownerId=xxx

See below for the details.

The other possibility is to setup the syslog and process the log for the backhaul failover according to your needs. 

I haven't really looked into the SNMP trap for this, but I think it's not supported either.

Thanks! While it would be nice to be able to monitor or be notified, this works in a pinch.

Hi John,

I meant Device Mode by Mode. See the screenshot below. Apologies.

I don’t appear to have that column option.
