AP logs

q-le
Level 5
Level 5

Deal All,

I had recently set an 3802 AP as a Monitor AP to troubleshooting signal issues.

I can ping the monitor AP but could not webpage to it to check the logs it capture.

is there any alternative to check out the logs ? from the 5508 WLC ?

Any help are much appreciated.

Thanks

The clean air data collected by the monitor mode AP is displayed on the WLC not the AP.
It can also be used and displayed by Prime or CMX.
Refer to the config guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-5/config-guide/b_cg85/radio_resource_management.html

Thank you Rich.

This document is awesome.

(ChatGPT told the wrong information ie  webpage/CLI to the AP instead of WLC )

Remember ChatGPT is still "learning".  I've seen it confuse technical information from multiple different vendors on numerous occasions to come up with answers which don't apply to Cisco at all.
Often a carefully composed web search which takes you directly to the vendor's own documentation can give you a more relevant answer.
I'm not saying don't use ChatGPT (it will get better with time) but always cross-check the answers it gives you, and tell it when it has given you the wrong answer - that helps the model to learn.
