This Special Agent integrates Extreme Networks CloudIQ into Checkmk via the official REST API. It provides centralized monitoring for cloud instances and automated, deep-dive monitoring for all managed Access Points (APs).
Centralized Cloud Insights: Monitors API rate limits, license status, and global device summaries on a dedicated connector host.
Automated AP Monitoring (Piggyback): Automatically discovers APs and dynamically assigns IPv4 addresses, aliases, and location tags to Checkmk hosts using the cmk_host_attributes function.
Detailed WiFi Metrics: Real-time data on radio bands (2.4/5/6 GHz), client distribution per SSID, and network topology (LLDP/CDP neighbor info).
Performance Optimized: Features JWT token caching and pagination to support large-scale environments (>1000 APs) while staying within API quotas.
Zero-Touch Deployment: Best used with Dynamic Host Management (DCD) to automatically create and delete AP hosts.
Reliable Reachability: Enables active IPv4 ping checks for cloud-managed APs by automatically syncing their LAN IP addresses.
Modern API: Fully compatible with Checkmk 2.3/2.4 agent-based API standards.
