At Westmont we've seen a significant increase, but not as large as reported by others on this list. I'm eyeballing this off a rough graph, but the median number of devices on a given week per month is as follows. Oct 2011: 2000 Nov 2011: 2000 Dec 2011: 2200 Jan 2012: 2500 Looks like a 10% Black Friday increase and about 15% Christmas increase.
Most of the devices that are connecting are Mac laptops, iPhones and iPads. 1Mac OS X96034.2%2.03 TB61.0%2Apple iPhone78427.9%142.92 GB4.2%3Windows 7312 11.1%807.57 GB23.7%4Apple iPod1495.3%14.09 GB0.4%5Apple iPad1224.3%54.52 GB 1.6%6Android1164.1%10.36 GB0.3%7Windows Vista1144.1%192.66 GB5.6%8Other66 2.4%467.9 MB<0.1%9Windows XP572.0%16.85 GB0.5%10Mac OS X 10.6371.3%47.07 GB 1.4% On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 8:00 AM, Foggi, Nicola <[email protected]> wrote: > The thold (Threshold) is a plugin for cacti: > > http://docs.cacti.net/plugin:thold > > it's not in the default install or wasn't last i looked... > > Nicola > ________________________________________ > From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [ > [email protected]] on behalf of Hector J Rios [ > [email protected]] > Sent: Friday, January 27, 2012 9:12 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning > from break > > Look under Management-->Thresholds and there you can set your parameters > as well as the email addresses that you want to send emails to. > > -H > > -----Original Message----- > From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto: > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Hay > Sent: Friday, January 27, 2012 8:51 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning > from break > > Hector, > > How are you doing alerting with Cacti?
