I didn’t see a reply to this, so fwiw, we use:

RF Health Report, looking for:
- APs with high 5ghz noise floor
- APs with sustained high average channel utilization
- APs with “lots” of channel changes

Device Summary report, looking for:
- APs with high maximum concurrent users
- Buildings/folders with more-than-expected max concurrent users

Client Session report, looking for:
- Device Type (AOS) breakdown
- Summary, which includes unique devices and total number of sessions

Hope that gives you a starting point / comparable.

HI fellow list members,

I was looking for other folks on this list that use Aruba’s Airwave to generate 
meaningful reports to aid in monitoring and operating your wireless networks.

We have been trying to develop better and more meaningful reporting that shows 
a deeper understanding of the health of all of our wireless networks over time.

As we have invested significant resources in cabling, switches, controllers, 
Clearpass and Airwave servers and new/more next gen WAPs, we are trying to show 
the value more and more to senior management with our various tools.

We have got some reports working today (we are running 8.2.2.1); we are trying 
to find the “best of breed” reporting that you may rely in your environments 
and apply them here @ DU.

Knowing when we have problems before our users do is a goal. Increasing the 
customer perception of excellent wireless service is also a goal. Our audience 
types could be our own team or they may be senior management or even student 
government.

Yes, we are working with our local Aruba/HPE SE and the Aruba/HPE product 
manager of Airwave in this journey; they are an excellent resource and business 
partner.

Some of the area of theme/focus might include:
•         Are the networks healthy?
•         RF Performance
•         RF Capacity
•         RF Channel Utilization
•         Bandwidth Usage
•         Users, device types, etc.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can share what they might be proud of.

Happy Holidays,

Chad
