Monitoring the Ruckus ZoneDirector
eG Enterprise offers a specialized monitoring model that monitors the Ruckus ZoneDirector inside-out, and promptly alerts administrators to issues affecting its performance, so that the required remedial action can be taken before its too late.
Figure 1 : The layer model of the Ruckus ZoneDirector
Each layer of Figure 1 is mapped to a variety of tests each of which report a wealth of metrics related to the Ruckus ZoneDirector that is being monitored. Using these metrics administrators can find quick and accurate answers to the following queries:
- What is the status of each Access Point?
- How well data is received by and transmitted through each Access Point?
- How well memory is utilized by each Access Point?
- What is the rate of unicast and multicast packets transmitted and received by each Access Point?
- Has the Access Point been rebooted?
- What is the uptime of each Access Point?
- How well data is transmitted and received by each radio associated with an Access Point?
- What is the current transmit power status of each radio?
- What is the rate of unicast and multicast packets transmitted and received by each radio associated with each Access Point?
- What is the percentage of CPU utilized by the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- How well the memory is being utilized by the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- How many Access Points are registered with the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- How many authorized devices and unauthorized devices are connected to the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- What is the current status of each Ethernet port?
- How well data is transmitted through and received from each Ethernet Port?
- What is the rate at which packets were transmitted through and received from each Ethernet port?
- What is the rate at which packets were dropped during transmission and reception on each Ethernet port?
- What is the radio type of each rogue device detected on the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- What is the type of each rogue device detected on the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- What is the encryption mode of each rogue device?
- What is the uptime of the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?

- What is the percentage of CPU and memory utilized by the WLANs of the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
- How well data is transmitted and received over each WLAN?
- How well packets are received and transmitted over each WLAN?
- How many authentications were successful on each WLAN?
- How many authentications actually failed on each WLAN?
- What is the radio type of each useron each WLAN?
- How well data is transmitted and received by each user over each WLAN?
- How well packets are transmitted and received by each user over each WLAN?
- What is the signal strength of each user?
- How well data is transmitted and received by the target Ruckus ZoneDirector?
