To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section.
Configuration
Mismatch
This trigger type activates when the actual configuration on the AP does not match the defined Group
configuration policy.
To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section.
AP Usage
Activates when the total bandwidth through the device has exceeded a predefined threshold for more
than a specified period (such as more than 1500 Kbps for more than 120 seconds). You can also select
bandwidth direction and page/radio. Selecting this type displays the following new fields in the Type
section. Define these settings.
l Alert if AP Usage >= (Kbps)—This threshold establishes a device-specific bandwidth policy, not a
bandwidth policy on the network as a whole.
l Usage Direction—Choose In, Out, or Combined. This bandwidth is monitored on the device itself, not
on the network as a whole.
l Severity - Specify the severity type for the trigger.
l Duration - Specify the time frame for the trigger.
Device
Resources
This type of trigger indicates that the CPU or memory utilization for a device (including router or switch)
has exceeded a defined percentage for a specified period of time.
Device Event
This trigger is used for alerting based on SNMP traps and syslog messages, which are displayed in
System > Syslogs & Traps, APs/Devices > Monitor for affected devices, and in Clients > Client Detail. The
conditions supported are:
l Event Contents (case insensitive substring matches on message content)
l Event Type (syslog or trap)
l Syslog Severity: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Bug, Error, Warning, Notice, or Info
l Syslog Category
l SNMP Trap Category: Hardware, IDS, Client Security, AP Security, AP Status, Software, or Rogue
Detection
l Syslog Category
NOTE: During the process of upgrading or installation for non-Master Console/Failover AirWaves,
AirWave creates two default trigger definitions for Device Events:
l SNMP Trap Category of Hardware or Software
l Event Type is Syslog and Syslog Severity >= Critical
Device Uplink
Status
This trigger deploys whenever a RAP’s active uplink changes from Ethernet to USB or vice versa. The
corresponding events are captured in a RAP’s APs/Devices > Monitor page.
b. Repeat this procedure for as many triggers and conditions as desired. Refer to the start of "Creating New
Triggers" on page 191 to create a new trigger.
Setting Triggers for Interfaces and Radios
To configure radio- and interface-related triggers, choose a trigger type from the Interfaces/ Radios category, listed in
the Type drop-down menu. Table 107 itemizes and describes the radio trigger types and condition settings.
Radio Trigger Options Description
Radio Down
Indicates that a device’s radio is down on the network. Once you choose this trigger type,
select Add New Trigger Condition to create at least one condition. This type requires that a
radio capability be set as a condition. The Value drop-down menu supports several condition
options.
