Since completing our Aruba deployment, I've had a handful of APs act oddly due to layer 1 issues. I've found, for the most part, that these APs show the following sort of events in AirWave:

There will be multiple "Poll missed 1 SNMP pings" over the course of a day and I will find that the AP in question will have spent most of its time rolling from LMS to BKLMS over and over. I have an AIrWave trigger setup that says EVENT CONTENTS MATCHES <variations of 'Poll missed 1 SNMP pings' message>, but I've never seen the alert trigger despite finding APs with those exact device events.
Does anyone have something similar setup and working? Receiving these alerts and being able to proactively resolve cabling issues would be awesome. Along those same lines, if you all have other AirWave triggers that you've found to be useful I'd love to see them. The only other alerts that I receive are when an AP is down for >= 5 minutes.
