the screenshot indicates that the alert is for downlink packet drop rather than uplink. there is a separate alert for uplink packet drops.

New Central alerts are real one. 19% drops is not good number. If you use 1G uplinks to APs then this will affect also your WiFi part.

Subject: Downlink Packet Drops on AP-535 using dual links (non-lacp) on New Central
Hi, I noticed on the New Central that an alert that shows "AP XXXX eth1 downlink had 19% drops (>5% threshold) in 30 minutes.".
We have an AP-535 that is dual uplink on a stacked switch, the dual uplink is active-standby as the Aruba switches has a limit of LAG-32 only and we have more that 35 AP/s. Is the Alert a concern on the Wi-Fi performance? or New Central is still in preview and this kind of alerts is mostly false-positive?
