HPE Aruba Networking Central Access Points

The HPE Aruba Networking Central Access Points monitoring package provides robust monitoring for ArubaOS 10.x Access Points. It replaces the legacy Aruba_IAP* modules and offers enhanced functionality for ArubaOS 10.x environments.

The package uses SNMP to monitor key metrics related to performance, radio activity, and SSID usage, giving you real-time visibility into the health and behavior of your access points. Additionally, you can use HPE Aruba Networking Central to forward syslogs to LogicMonitor to facilitate wireless network troubleshooting and root cause analysis.

HPE Aruba Central Access Points Monitoring Compatibility

As of March 2025, HPE Aruba Networking Central Access Points LogicMonitor monitoring package is known to be compatible with ArubaOS 10.x Access Points managed by Aruba Central.

Requirements for Installing ArubaOS Modules

ArubaOS wireless monitoring requires the following:

• Aruba Networking Central must be enabled to configure SNMP data collection for the Access Points.
• Collector version of 35.003 or later.
• Device set to system.sysoid 

Importing LogicModules

Install all HPE Aruba Networking Central Access Point LogicModules from the LogicMonitor’s Module Exchange. For more information, see the list of LogicModules in Package. If these LogicModules are already present, ensure you have the most recent version of each module. 

Assuming all previous setup requirements have been met, data collection will automatically start once the LogicModules are imported.​

Migration from Legacy LogicModules

In March 2025, LogicMonitor released a new set of HPE Aruba Networking Central Access Points DataSources, designed to monitor each Access Point individually. For customers running ArubaOS 10.x, these replace the legacy Aruba_IAP modules, which reported data at the cluster level:

• Aruba_IAP_Clients
• Aruba_IAP_GlobalStats
• Aruba_IAP_SSIDStats

Importing the new DataSources  not overwrite or impact the legacy modules, so no data loss occurs. However, running both sets simultaneously will result in duplicate data collection and alerts.

For more information, see Disabling Monitoring for a DataSource or Instance.

Troubleshooting

DataSources will print error messages to the console when present. These messages can be viewed by manually polling data through the Raw Data tab, accessible from the Resources page for each DataSource. Despite errors, DataSources are designed to handle them and will continue attempting to collect any available data.

If SNMP collection is failing, see SNMP Troubleshooting for more information.

LogicModules in Package

LogicMonitor’s package for ArubaOS Wireless consists of the following LogicModules. For full coverage, import the following LogicModules into your platform:

Display Name	Type	Description
Aruba AP Performance	DataSource	Aruba Central access point system performance metrics.
Aruba AP Radios	DataSource	Aruba Central access point radio metrics.
Aruba AP SSIDs	DataSource	Monitors Aruba Central access point SSID metrics.
addCategory_ArubaCentralAP	PropertySource	Discovers if a host is an Aruba Central AP and has an SNMP system.sysoid.

When setting static datapoint thresholds on the various metrics tracked by this package’s DataSources, LogicMonitor follows the technology owner’s best practice KPI recommendations.
