The Introduction Of New Debugging Features In Unifi

With the evolution of Unifi controller, efforts are taken to make scenarios lot easier for the administrators when it comes to picking the right tools to make the Unifi network perform as per the expectation. If you focus on Unifi controller VER 5.6x, the first thing that you will notice is the introduction of an additional dashboard to display the statistics. This dashboard has been titled Debugging Metrics. Such a new additional view window makes it a great option for administrators to work and focus with different collection of data. This will also let them check Unifi coverage in a better way. It will also help the administrators identify necessary errors and fix all the necessary issues that may hamper the performance.  



To view the debugging metrics, you simply need to open the Unifi controller and visit the Statistics section. In this section, you need to select the DEBUGGING METRICS from the box (dropdown list).  Here is a list of data tables included in the DEBUGGING METRICS list:

· Most Active APs
· Channel Utilization
· Retries
· Top Clients
· Most Active Clients
· Top Interference
· Longest Connected Clients
· Top CPU Usage
· Top Memory Usage

Every category featured in the list contains a table to summarize the data. The data information will be displayed for either of the two frequencies: 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. You simply need to have knowledge about the actual access points to view the data in the tables. At the same time, to understand the Unifi coverage, you need to have additional data with the help of Unifi switch and Unifi security gateway. However, you must keep in mind that if an AP has been set to have a powerful broadcast scenario, while other nearby APs are set to lower broadcasting levels, the AP with stronger broadcasting signal is bound to attract the client devices more significantly.
