A network management system (NMS) configured to attribute a health issue of an access point (AP) to a classifier or sub-classifier and remedy the health affecting a user's experience. The NMS obtains network data associated with an AP device of a site. The NMS also determines whether the network data satisfies one or more criteria corresponding to a classifier of a service level expectation (SLE) metric for determining a health issue of the AP device. In response to determining the network data does not satisfy the criteria associated with the classifier, NMS attributes the health issue of the AP device to the classifier. In response to attributing the health issue of the AP device to the classifier, NMS performs a remedy action based on the classifier.

Access point health metrics

Techniques are described by which a network management system (NMS) receives, from a plurality of access points (APs) configured to provide a wireless network, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values. The NMS generates, based on the RSSI values, a graph of the plurality of APs, wherein the graph of the plurality of APs includes a plurality of clusters, wherein each cluster comprises a subset of the plurality of APs that are grouped based on strength of connectivity between the subset of the plurality of APs. The NMS generates, based on the graph, an upgrade plan to upgrade the plurality of APs, wherein the upgrade plan comprises a plurality of batches, wherein each batch includes a selection of at least one AP from each of one or more of the plurality of clusters. The NMS sends the upgrade plan to an orchestrator to execute the upgrade plan.
