How to find AP Uptime/Downtime or Last Contacted date for Down APs?

  • 1.  How to find AP Uptime/Downtime or Last Contacted date for Down APs?

    Posted Jul 30, 2024 03:36 AM

    Hello friends,

    For the life of me I cannot identify a way to see any last contacted info for Down APs on an Aruba controller running 8.10.x firmware.  Specifically, I have been asked to provide an inventory report on RAPs to include when was last login for any currently Down RAPs.  I have checked the tech support logs after enabled additional AP debugging as well as gone through internal DHCP logs, Firewall logs, etc and don't see anything.  These WLCs are not monitored by AMP, (or anything else) so cannot pull from external source.

    Have you tried "show ap database" from the CLI?

    "show ap database" doesn't provide the data I need for down APs.

    But should provide uptime.  I don't think we have any output in AOS that tracks last seen.

    I think I titled this poorly by including the "uptime" in my subject line for Down APs.

    Doesn't do that under Software Version: ArubaOS 8.6.0.9 (Digitally Signed SHA1/SHA256 - Production Build)
