Hi Experts,

 

Does anyone have the pattern to discover aruba wap devices or any guidance will also help on how to write a pattern.

 

Thanks.

This was written before the shift from controllers to gateways, but here's one: https://www.servicenow.com/community/itom-articles/aruba-wap-controller-hd-pattern-an-example/ta-p/2....

 

Aruba Central has a pretty robust API you could use to source if you don't want a custom pattern solution.

Another update to this... John's solution is much more comprehensive, but if you want to allow the controllers to remain discovered as switches, it's pretty simple to get the APs. No idea why ServiceNow isn't providing this OOB.

 

Use the Cisco WAPs extension to the Network Switch pattern as an example and create an extension for Aruba WAPs. Reference the WLSX-WLAN-MIB file, but you're retrieving the WAPs from the wlsxWlanAPTable (1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.5.2.1.4). The extension just needs 5-6 steps to query, transform, and populate the data.
