Description
This is the default type whenever configuring a new trigger. This type of trigger activates when an
authorized, monitored AP has failed to respond to SNMP queries from AMP.
To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section. Complete the conditions with
the Option, Condition, and Value drop-down menus. The conditions establish the device type. Multiple
conditions can apply to this type of trigger. The Device Down trigger can be configured to send alerts for
thin APs when the controller is down; this behavior is turned off by default.
This trigger type activates when an authorized, previously down AP is now responding to SNMP queries. To
set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section.
This trigger type activates when the actual configuration on the AP does not match the defined Group
configuration policy.
To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section.
Activates when a device reaches a user-count threshold for more than a specified period (such as more
than 10 users associated for more than 60 seconds).
Activates when the total bandwidth through the device has exceeded a predefined threshold for more than
a specified period (such as more than 1500kbps for more than 120 seconds). You can also select bandwidth
direction and page/radio. Selecting this type displays the following new fields in the Type section. Define
these settings.
Alert if Device Bandwidth >= (kbps)—This threshold establishes a device-specific bandwidth policy, not

a bandwidth policy on the network as a whole.
Bandwidth Direction—Choose In, Out, or Combined. This bandwidth is monitored on the device itself,

exceeded a defined percentage for a specified period of time.
This trigger is used for alerting based on SNMP traps and syslog messages, which are displayed in System
> Syslogs & Traps, APs/Devices > Monitor for affected devices, and in Users > User Detail. The conditions
supported are:
Event Contents (case insensitive substring matches on message content)

Event Type (syslog or trap)

Syslog Severity: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Bug, Error, Warning, Notice, or Info

Syslog Category

SNMP Trap Category: Hardware, IDS, Client Security, AP Security, AP Status, Software, or Rogue

Detection
NOTE: During the process of upgrading or installation for non-Master Console/Failover AMPs, AMP creates
two default trigger definitions for Device Events:
SNMP Trap Category of Hardware or Software
