About Using Splunk for Xirrus APs
Splunk may be used to provide visibility into client experience and analyze usage
on APs. A Splunk application has been developed to present this operational
intelligence at a glance. The app includes field extractions, event types, searches
and dashboards to help shine a light on station status and activity
To use Splunk, set up your Splunk server with the Splunk application—available
from apps.splunk.com at Splunk for Xirrus XR Wireless APs. Configure the AP
to send data to Splunk by setting a Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary Server
Address to the IP address or hostname of your Splunk server. Then set Station
Formatting to Key/Value to send data in Splunk’s expected format.
You may specify Server Addresses for Syslog servers and a Splunk server on the
same AP. Selecting the Key/Value option will not cause any problems with
Syslog.
