# **Short Description: ExtremeCloudIQ (XIQ) Special Agent** 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). # **Key Features:** **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. # **Technical Benefits:** **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.
