Ruckus SmartZone Monitoring

LogicMonitor offers out-of-the-box monitoring for the Ruckus SmartZone (SZ) controllers. This monitoring package uses the Ruckus API to query the SmartZone controller for a variety of performance metrics, including controller uptime, CPU, memory, packet count, dropped packet count, TX ands RX Bps data, alarm counts, event counts, AP and client counts, as well as cluster and management port summary data.​

Setup Requirements

Add Resource Into Monitoring

Add the Ruckus SmartZone host into monitoring using the following credentials:

• ruckus.user
• ruckus.pass
• (Optional) ruckus.port
• (Optional) ruckus.max_instance_count

Import LogicModules

Import the Ruckus SmartZone LogicModules, which are listed in the LogicModules in Package section of this support article.

Considerations

• SNMP: For scaling and performance reasons, SNMP is not recommended for monitoring SmartZone systems.
• Virtual SmartZone: Monitoring Virtual SmartZone systems is not recommended.
• No Data: Ruckus_SZ_ManagementSummary displays output as no data if there is no management port data.

Discovering Additional Instances under Ruckus_SZ_DeviceSummary

ruckus.max_instance_count can be used to discover additional instances under Ruckus_SZ_DeviceSummary module. This property allows you to define the maximum number of instances that can be monitored. Upper bound for the number of maximum instances supported by each collector size is as follows:

Collector Size	Max Instance Count (ruckus.max_instance_count)
Nano	100
Small	300
Medium	1000
Large	1500
Custom	1500
Extra Large	2500
Double Extra Large	2500
