Alert Center LibrariesWorking with Notifications, Notification Policies, and ThresholdsThresholds LibraryRogue Hidden SSID Threshold
Track devices that behave like access points and broadcast without an SSID to wireless clients.
See misconfigured devices, undiscovered or masquerading access points, and more.
Managing Rogue Hidden SSID Thresholds:
From the Thresholds Library in the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center Libraries view, you can perform the following Rogue Hidden SSID Threshold operations.
Add. Create a new Rogue Hidden SSID Threshold.
To configure a new Wireless Rogue Hidden SSID threshold:
Automatically resolve items no longer out of threshold. Select this option if you want Alert Center to automatically resolve items when they return to the value within the threshold limit.
Note: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. If you do not select a notification policy, no notifications are generated for the threshold, but a dashboard report listing the out of threshold items still appears on the Alert Center Home page.
Add Condition Rules:
Exclude Devices. Select to build or apply an exclusion list.
Note: Configure the threshold check interval for a longer time than the sampling interval for thresholds relating to trends, such as percent utilization. Configure it for a time the same as (or similar to) the sampling interval when configuring a threshold for a health check.
Tip: Avoid setting the threshold check interval to a very short time. Aggressive intervals can degrade system performance. In general, setting the threshold check interval to less than five minutes is not advised.
Edit. Adjust, tune, and configure an existing Rogue Hidden SSID Threshold.
