Logging and Alarms
■ Message—The message, which varies according to the alarm’s type,
includes specific information about the particular event. For example, the
message for the “radiusAuthFailed” alarm is the MAC address of the
station that failed to authenticate and the radio to which it attempted to
connect. You could use this information to track down the station.
By default, the alarm log lists alarms according to index number. However,
you can sort the alarms according to any of the information described above:
simply click on the heading for the column.
For example, you might want to focus on only the most serious events. Click
Severity and scroll to the top of the list to view the most crucial alarms.
Or, if you are troubleshooting a particular problem, you might want to group
alarms by Module Name—to see, for example, all the logs associated with
wireless stations when you are troubleshooting a station having difficulty with
its connection.
You can take action on alarms using the four buttons at the bottom of the
screen:
■ Details
■ Delete
■ Acknowledge
■ Export
Details
When you do not know what an alarm means, or when you need direction in
solving the problem indicated, you should view alarm details.
Select the alarm from the list and click Details. A screen displays, which points
you toward the cause of the alarm and possible solutions for an associated
problem.
