Equipment Monitoring

What metrics are you monitoring on your Cambium gear? Please state platform, what function (PtP, AP, CPE, WiFi, etc.), what OIDs or other parameters.

We track the PMP450 AP's frame utilization stats. We also track ePMP AP frame utilization (but only downlink stats work ATM due to firmware limitations IIRC).

My network admin set up all this stuff so it's a greek to me but here are some OID's he gave me for the 450 and ePMP AP's frame utilization stats:

Frame Utilization Upload Total   = either .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.12.3.14.0 or .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.2.1.51
Frame Utilization Download Total = either .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.12.3.13.0 or .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.2.1.52
Frame Utilization Upload Used    = either .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.12.3.9.0  or .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.2.1.53
Frame Utilization Download Used  = either .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.12.3.3.0  or .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.2.1.54

The ePMP UL frame utilization will always show 100%. This is because we "prime" the Uplink even if there isnt data to fill the frame. This is to reduce scheduling turnaround delays for the SMs. So technically speaking the stat is correct but we should really be ignoring dummy data that is being sent on the Uplink. Unfortunately, this is on the backburner right now with everything else that's going on (i.e development on the ac platofrm). 

Thanks,
