Ruckus SmartZone Monitoring
Last updated on 17 March, 2023LogicMonitor offers out-of-the-box monitoring for the Ruckus SmartZone (SZ) controllers. Our 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.
Note: LogicMonitor offers monitoring for Ruckus SmartZone (SZ), but not for Virtual SmartZone (vSZ).
Setup Requirements
Add Resource Into Monitoring
Add the Ruckus SmartZone host into monitoring using the following credentials:
ruckus.user
ruckus.pass
- (Optional)
ruckus.port
Note: The default port is 8443. You must be able to get data from the API (executed from the connector to the resource), over the specified or default port, using HTTPS. For more information on adding resources into monitoring, see Adding Devices.
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.

When setting static datapoint thresholds on the various metrics tracked by this package’s DataSources, LogicMonitor follows the technology owner’s best practice KPI recommendations. If necessary, we encourage you to adjust these predefined thresholds to meet the unique needs of your environment.
