    In AMP 8.0.9.2 the VisualRF is not showing the heatmap on several floorplans.

    On one floorplan with just 3 AP's we get a heatmap from only one AP (see image).

     

    Wha tis goign wrong, and or how can we fix this?

    I have seen this before, I would try:

    • Use different browser
    • Remove the AP from the floor plan and add it back on
      • after you add, poll the controller again.

    Hopefully this helps :)

    First, make sure you're not set to focus on the one AP - as that's supposed to just show one.

    Second you can try this:

    https://<airwave-name-or-address>/visualrf/poll_aps_now.xml

    That forces all APs to be re-polled and data to recalculate, it takes a few minutes, but makes everything pretty again.

    Same problem here. Removing AP and place it back doesn't work, restarting AMP services doesn't work, rebooting server doesn't work and force a SNMP poll doesn't work also.

     

    We're on AMP 8.2.1 and controller version 6.4.3.9

     

    An Aruba engineer already solved it in the past, but that doesn't solve the problem anymore.

     

    Resolution:
     

    • Went on web session. Checked the APs status and found its showing error
    • Checked the xml file and saw radio skipping message
    • Disabled visualrf cleared the bootstrap cache and restarted it
    • Heat map started showing up correctly
    • There was another ap in a different floorplan not showing heat map
    • Found radio was showing good. It was issue with the floor plan
    • Resized it and it started showing correctly. Hence, closing the case

    Any suggestions?

    I recognize that path of steps - we followed it for quite some time.

    It also stopped working effectively for us as well.

    Have TAC look over my case #1922009 to see if they can see what was done to help me. I'm told that they've identified a bug which lead to our issues, and while we're still waiting for a final fix, Airwave and VisualRF have been much more stable/fast/and accurate since 8/17 when we made the last tweak.

    Hi ,

     

    Could you share latest heatmap screen shot? You mean heatmaps are incorrect or its not at all displaying?

     

    Regards,

    Sure, here you are!

     

    I also don't know exactly why this is spamming our logs every minute. What does this do?

    Hi,

     

    please follow below article

    http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Network-Management/Problems-with-Airwave-heatmap/m-p/294965#M6626

     

    Regarding client montior restart message, we could ignore those messages and warning messages is related to AP location, make sure, place the APs in correct location on map and set proper diminesions.

     

    Regards,

    Hi,

     

    Ahh, great... turning off the metrics did also solve our heatmap issue. We will upgrade to 8.2.4 as soon as it's available.
