check_ap_status

With this plugin you can get status of your AP's connected to the ExtremeCloud IQ (formerly Aerohive).

• Firstly you will be need to go to developer portal [It's still working] to register your application. Register and sign in.
• There is a video about how to get working API app.

If you will have all needed then just copy it to check_ap_status shell script into variables section.

#Variables
ENDPOINT="YOUR_ENDPOINT" # For example https://fra.extremecloudiq.com
OWNER_ID="YOUR_OWNER_ID" 
AUTH="Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" # Access Token
ID="YOUR_ID" # Client ID
URI="YOUR_URI" # Redirect URL
SECRET="YOUR_SECRET" # Client Secret

Then just run script with a hostname of your AP. For example: ./check_ap_status.sh AP01

If is your AP up then you will get message like:

OK: AP_650X is connected to the Cloud. Uptime: 79 days 06 hours 05 minutes 12 seconds|Status=1;;0;1;

Uptime is there because I want to know if AP was restarted or just lost connection to the cloud.

If is your AP down then you will get message like:

CRITICAL: AP_650X is not connected to the Cloud.|Status=0;;0;1;

You can setup nagios service to check status of AP like:

# Check AP Status via Cloud API
define service {
  service_description            Status
  hostgroup_name                 YOUR_HOSTGROUP
# servicegroups			             ExtremeCloud-IQ-Status # I'm using also servicegroups
  use                            generic-service,srv-perf # I'm using OMD with Graphana, so I am using srv-perf for graphing 
  check_command                  check_ap
}

And there is a command.

define command {
  command_name                   check_ap
  command_line                   $USER1$/check_ap_status.sh $HOSTALIAS$ # I'm using $HOSTALIAS$. You can use directly $HOSTNAME$
}

This is how service looks like in a Thruk UI.

This script also has a support of perf data so you can get nice graphs.
