Controllers
This dashboard displays detailed controller activity. It provides the graphical representation of the Throughput , Stations, Online APs, Offline APs, Critical Alarms, High-Noise Radios, High- Loss Radios, High-Loss Stations, Low-Signal Stations, and Rogue APs of the selected controller that are managed by FortiWLM MEA. The results for the controller are displayed in the upper graphs and results per radio is displayed in the lower set of graphs.
Select a controller IP address and details such as name, location, the number of online or offline APs connected, availability status, active alarms, up time, software version, and model is displayed. The upper graphs display the results for the controller or trend graphs for the selected controller and the lower graphs are distribution state graphs for a respective parameter at a given time. Click a smaller upper graph to view a larger version displayed in the middle of the dashboard.
The trends based on controller selection is monitored by selecting the trend duration. The time period can be modified from 1 to 48 hours by selecting the Interval or by selecting the From and To duration of time.
The following controller trend information is displayed.

Description |
|---|---|
| Throughput | Displays the controller's throughput. This value is the sum (in Mbps) of all Rx and Tx transmissions. |
| Stations | Displays the stations associated with a controller. All stations connected to the controller are included. |
| Online APs/Offline APs | Displays the total number of online and offline APs associated with the controller. |
| Critical Alarms | Displays the number of critical alarms on this controller. An alarm is defined as critical when the Notification Filter is created (Alarm Severity). |
| High-Noise Radios | Displays the number of radios on this controller experiencing noise greater than threshold (-70 dBm). The threshold cannot be changed at this time. |
| High-Loss Radios | Displays the number of radios on this controller experiencing loss greater than the threshold (40%). The threshold cannot be changed at this time. |
| High-Loss Stations | Displays the number of stations on this controller experiencing loss greater than the threshold (40%). The threshold cannot be changed at this time. |
| Low-Signal Stations | Displays the number of stations on this controller that are connected at signal strength <= -80Dbm. |
|
Rogue APs |
Displays the number of rogue APs detected on this controller. |
The graphs in the lower half of the dashboard are distribution state graphs for the respective parameter at a given time. Click on any top graphs and the expanded graph is displayed.
