Plugin for monitoring clients on access points on a WLC

Post by snapon_admin »

I'm doing some digging on this on my own, but I was wondering if anyone has a good plugin that lists all clients connected to specific access points that are connected to a wireless LAN controller? We used to be able to do this in another monitoring solution, but I haven't seen anything for this yet in Nagios (again, I'm still researching it a bit). I can't find any screenshots of what it looked like in the other product but basically, when you had a WLC being monitored you could see a list of all client IPs and MAC addresses and what access point those clients were connected to. We've had several requests for this information to be view able in Nagios, so I'm hoping that this is something that would be possible. This other product used to get this info via SNMP, so I can't think of a reason why Nagios wouldn't be able to do it, it's just a matter of whether or not something already exists for this purpose or not.

[EDIT: removed specific product name]

I found a check_snmp_cisco_wlc listed in our Nagios Exchange that should work for you. Here is the link:

I'm not sure if this lists client IPs and MAC addresses of devices connected to the APs. I did see that one on the exchange, but didn't see anything about it doing that. I did grab it, though, and I'm trying to get it to work. I keep getting errors when trying to run it, but admittedly I only tried for about 15 minutes yesterday. I'll see if I can get it working and see if it does what we're looking for.

There is also mine, but it only shows a total count. If you're any good at coding you may be able to get it to loop through all the connections and return the list. I dont have access to the device anymore myself to make this code change.

edit: If you export an snmpwalk for me I might be able to make the code change for you.
