Cluster and Device Health Indicators

The controller GUI home page provides at-a-glance data visualization for cluster and device health information. At the top of the Dashboard, interactive gauge-type charts display the total number of clusters and devices managed by the controller, as well as utilize color-coding to visually represent the distribution of their statuses (online, flagged, and offline).

The Dashboard page contains a HEALTH tab, the content of which is controlled by clicking Wireless or Wired.

Dashboard - Health Charts

The charts for the clusters, APs, and switches and the network status displays in the HEALTH tab use the following color coding scheme:

  • Blue: Online.
  • Orange: Flagged. The device is flagged based on the configured thresholds.
  • Red: Offline. The device is not reachable to the controller.

Online and Offline status are self-explanatory. "Flagged" status is user-defined. You can customize the thresholds at which an AP or cluster enters the "flagged" state using the icon in the upper-right corner of the Wireless HEALTH tab. In the Settings - Health Dashboard pop-up window, click the Cluster Status or AP Status tab, and configure the following settings as desired:

  • Cluster Status: Configure CPU, hard disk and memory usage percentages above which the cluster will be marked as flagged status.
  • AP Status: Configure the criteria upon which APs will be flagged.
