Just trying to get an idea of what everyone all watches using their SNMP client of choice?
AP:
ping
traffic on ethernet
# subs
SM:
ping
traffic
Optionally
SM Jitter
SM dB Level
AP RF Discards
Switch port Traffic
Router Traffic
BH Traffic, dB, Jitter, etc
Cisco NetFlow
DNS, Mail, Web Server status
All the previous plus:
registered SM counter on every AP
voltage level on every tower battery
Big Trumpet - Mind if I ask what hardware you use to monitor your voltage levels on your batteries? Got a couple solar/wind powered sites that I need find some way to monitor the battery levels at.

We poll every AP/SM/CMM in the network every 10 mins and stuff just about every readable OID into a database. (yes, I mean ‘every’ - pulling anywhere from a few dozen fields per SM to a few hundred for a CMM plus all 8 ports) I’m working on backhaul monitoring now, again on the 10-minute polling cycle and again pulling everything in reach. I started with a printout of the MIB and checked off everything that was of the vaguest possible value to have logged and queryable…

We have some solar powered Mikrotiks (backhauls). Latest hardware (RB333/RB433AH) has embedded voltage monitoring and you can query by SNMP.
