Extended wireless reports

I'm still missing historical data of important wireless metrics like channel utilization per ap/channel and historical data for other statistics you could view in the EWC reports like "Wireless Statistics by APs" and "AP Performance Report by Radio". A historical report of channel utilization could help you to find out were you have or are close to wireless performance problem or maybe a non-WiFi interference source exists.

I've tried to create my own custom report in OneView, but i could not found the values I'am looking for. Hopefully next version of Extreme Control Center add more usefull features to the Wireless Tab making admins lifes more easy. Compared to competitor WNMS many things are still missing.

If I'm wrong, please tell me how can view the things I'am looking for.

Best Regards
Hartmut

Hello Thomas,
sorry for the late reply. If have still no solution fully integrated in EMC. I am really unhappy, too. This is rely bad compared to other NMS/WMS solutions.

Best Regards

Ok, I will look into it. But first I have to find a way to get an alert when channel utilisation is too high on our APs 3805i.
Thanks James. Have a good one.

LibreNMS does have ARP and FDB tables (I'm not sure which would be more appropriate) that could be populated from 1.3.6.1.4.1.4329.15.3.6.2 (muTable), but it's not something I've looked at. There's also talk of being able to view all the data from a single AP vs it being split over many pages organised by the controller but no code has been written for this yet.

Hi James.
First of all I want to thank you for this wonderful work for merging the EWC to LibreNMS. I started with with LibreNMS a month ago and I didn't expect to get so much useful information about EWC. Great work!! I am disappointed that Extreme Mangement Centre (EMC) version 8.03 doesn't provide any information about channel utilization, data which is very important for me as a network administrator. I like very much LibeNMS, the only thing I wish it could provide is offering a list of clients connected to an AP with their MAC addresses and not only the number of connected clients.
With best regards,
Thomas.

So https://community.extremenetworks.com/extreme/topics/extremewireless-support-in-librenms includes a graph for channel utilisation. It uses data from SNMP which I guess goes via the script I found above. There are a lot of stats available in the MIBs, let me know if you find more that would be useful to graph, they're pretty easy to add support for in LibreNMS.
