Probing interface speed and Power mode

[SysOP]

Greetings. We are running a network with mostly MR44s and some APs randomly goes in to "Low Power Mode". Unfortunaltly there is no SNMP Trap, syslog or Webhook for this event and we would like to be notified somehow. 

The interface (Wired0) sometimes also go into 100Mbit instead of 1 Gigabit. Often due to old/bad cables. Same problem here. It's hardly impossible to manually check hundreds of APs manually. 

I tried to walk the MIB on the accesspoint. I have so far not found any interface speed or power mode status to poll. I also looked at APIs to extract this inforamtion.

I could check for changes at interface speed in the switch. Same for power that drops to 25 watt allocated instead of 30 watt.

Have you checked APIs for Event type?

or instead, you can monitor the switch ports where the APs are connected.

This call may have the info you need...

It is org-wide, you could set up a script to run it every hour or some other period, and check for changes.
