How to monitor Aruba with PRTG
Add Aruba devices and create PRTG sensors
Start by adding Aruba devices to your monitoring environment, and create the desired sensors in PRTG for each of these devices.
Most Aruba access points and switches support SNMP, which means you can run an automatic network discovery and have these sensors added automatically and fine-tune afterwards.
Create dashboards and network topology maps
Create an overview of your wireless network environment. The Sunburst view in PRTG is generated with a single click and displays your entire network topology.
Or use the PRTG Maps feature to build custom views of your Aruba network via drag and drop, exactly the way you need.
Customize notifications for fast troubleshooting
With PRTG, you can set your own warning and error thresholds for each of the sensors. If these thresholds fall below or exceed a certain value, you’ll be promptly notified.
As a result, you can quickly take action and stop bandwidth bottlenecks and potential network crashes in their tracks.
