efficient solution for checking SSID availability

[roberto1234]

Dear community
I'm facing the challenge that every time our board of directors holds their meeting,
someone needs to be on-site to check the SSID and then log in locally with a laptop to test the functionality.
Do you have any ideas if there's a way to address this within the DNA Center without the need for physical presence on-site?
I'm aware of the Cisco Aironet Active Sensor, but unfortunately, it's reached its end of sale.

Thank you for your assistance.

The bigger question for me is WHY "someone needs to be on-site to check the SSID"?

What model of WLC, what model of AP, running what version of software?
Have you had it "not working" before?  What was the cause of it "not working" on those occasion(s)?
Is it only the board using those meeting rooms?  Doesn't anybody else use those meeting rooms so they could test it and you cold see them authenticating and generating traffic on the WLC?

The sensors really do help, or else you would need to setup some spare laptops or Raspberry Pi so you can remote into or do some testing.  Have you looked into Thousand Eyes and installing an agent on their laptops to collect data?  I think you have various options and tools, including 3rd party tools like 7Signal and others.  We use to keep a few NetAlly devices we can remote into and gather information to, all about cost and what you can and can't do.
