Using the Device Uptime Report
The Device Uptime Report monitors device performance and availability on the network, tracking uptime by multiple
criteria to include the following:
l Total average uptime by SNMP and ICMP
l Average uptime by device group
l Average uptime by device folder
You can use this report as the central starting point to improve uptime by multiple criteria. This report covers protocol-
oriented, device-oriented, or SSID-oriented information. This report can help to monitor and optimize the network in
multiple ways. It can demonstrate service parameters, can establish locations that have superior or problematic uptime
availability, and can help with additional analysis in multiple ways. Locations, device groups, or other groupings within
a network can be identified as needing attention or can be proven to have superior performance when using this report.
The Device Uptime Report contains columns that track bootstrap count (number of times the device has gone down for a
firmware change), reboot count, downtime duration, and downtime duration percent. As mentioned above, you can
optionally ignore device downtime during planned maintenance periods in this report, and you can restrict the report to
business days only.
The Device Uptime Report is described in the image and table that follow.
