Cloud Visibility

You can view a stream of data coming from ExtremeCloud IQ Controller managed access points in ExtremeCloud™ IQ.

Cloud Visibility provides a data stream of information to ExtremeCloud IQ for consolidated reporting. The feature facilitates reporting of wired and wireless metrics, including client application metrics, into ExtremeCloud IQ. The reporting frequency is 5 minutes.

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller reports metrics on 32 application categories to ExtremeCloud™ IQ. Reported are the Rx and Tx bytes for each application category, and the number of mobile users in each category, per network.

Onboard the controller to your ExtremeCloud IQ account as easily as any other device. After onboarded, launch the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller user interface from ExtremeCloud IQ. This enables you to access and manage the controller and devices from your ExtremeCloud IQ account.

The following requirements must be met to view APs and clients in ExtremeCloud IQ:
  • An ExtremeCloud™ IQ Navigator or Pilot account
  • Onboard ExtremeCloud IQ Controller to ExtremeCloud IQ.

    The cloud icon on the product banner indicates connectivity with ExtremeCloud IQ
    • Green indicates that the controller has discovered the cloud URL and indicates connectivity to ExtremeCloud IQ.

    Connection can take up to 15 minutes after the controller is onboarded. To refresh the browser and connect on demand, go to Administration > License > License Details and select Synchronize Now.
