The events feature provides a logging system that can be used by administrators and support personnel to easily monitor and troubleshoot issues.
An event is the occurrence of a condition that has been detected in the network infrastructure. For example, wireless client association/disassociation, radios turned on/off, radio power/channel changes and more. A record of events is typically stored over relatively long periods of time to assist with OAM&P and auditing activities.
