Monitoring ME AP, not WLC

[iow_ikochnev]

Hey everyone! Based on this topic https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-and-mobility/zabbix-and-wlc-ap-monitoring/m-p/3756595#M105178 and this bugreport https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvd39346 I have a question.

Will SNMP or any other monitoring methods be enabled for ME APs or planned to be enabled at least?

What annoys me, is that we have WLC monitoring setup, it works fine, but I cannot monitor free RAM on APs at all. No SNMP, no nothing.

We have WLC running on 8.8.111 SW which should have that memory leak bug fixed and it worked for about 30 days(after upgrade from 8.8.100), but for some reason, one of our APs ran into "RAM less than 100MB" issue and it wasn't so easy to figure that out. Why? Because all was looking great from WLC side and affected AP cannot authorize only new clients or clients with expired IP lease.

What can I do to register feature request or smth else to have memory monitored properly and not manually?

I'm not a fan of rebooting APs from time to time because "probably it will stop working properly soon", so I'm expecting some solution to avoid that.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can do SNMP access to ME APs but I assume you mean all the other APs as they don't support direct SNMP? If it's something that does show up in syslog you can set those APs to send to a log server and then create rules on that? Cisco Prime might offer some alerting as well but of course this is more costly.

For feature requests I have found you need to go through local partner/managers to assist as there's no 'wireless wishlist' like with Meraki.
