In recent years, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has completely transformed the way connectivity infrastructures are designed, managed, and scaled. Vendors like Cisco Meraki and Aruba have led this evolution by offering cloud-managed platforms with centralized provisioning, dynamic policies, and a level of automation that was unthinkable just a decade ago.
As organizations adopt distributed models — branch offices, remote work, IoT, high-density Wi-Fi — the ability to manage the entire network from a single point, with rapid deployments and advanced analytics, has become the norm. But this growth also brings a key requirement: integrating these SDN networks into an observability and monitoring platform that delivers real, operational control.
The new integration between WOCU-Monitoring and Cisco Meraki and Aruba enables fully automated connection, discovery, and monitoring of network infrastructures, without complex configurations or constant manual intervention.
Simple and Completely Transparent Connection
With WOCU-Monitoring, integrating Cisco Meraki or Aruba is as simple as entering your credentials through the interface. No complex configurations or technical processes—WOCU-Monitoring handles everything.
The platform automatically manages any type of authentication, from static API keys to tokens requiring continuous renewal, ensuring an always-active and fully stable connection.
Everything runs securely in the background without interruptions. The result is a smooth, reliable, and completely transparent integration designed so you can focus on operating your network, not maintaining the connection.
Total Automation of Discovery, Monitoring, and Control
Once connected, WOCU-Monitoring performs an automatic and intelligent discovery of the entire infrastructure. The solution scans the environment, identifies each device—its type, role, model, and key attributes—and generates a complete and up-to-date inventory without any manual effort.
During this process, each asset is assigned an optimized monitoring pack designed to extract the right information from each technology. This provides immediate access to key metrics such as status, performance, alerts, health indicators, and essential network data.
From there, WOCU-Monitoring handles everything: running recurring scans, automatically detecting new devices, updating the inventory in real time, and allowing pack adjustments through templates when needed. Monitoring remains active and aligned with changes in the environment, ensuring continuous efficiency and visibility.
And to keep the environment clean and noise-free, WOCU-Monitoring allows unwanted assets to be excluded via a blacklist, preventing unnecessary alerts and ensuring precise control over what is—and isn’t—monitored.
Dashboards Designed for Each Technology
WOCU-Monitoring provides dedicated visual dashboards for Cisco Meraki and Aruba, giving administrators complete clarity at a glance. Each dashboard is designed to highlight what truly matters:
Advanced filters to quickly locate any asset or network segment
Distribution by device type for immediate inventory visibility
Global environment status with clear, easy-to-interpret indicators
Real-time performance, ideal for detecting trends or abnormal behavior
All of this information can be exported with a single click to CSV or JSON, simplifying audits, operational reporting, and integration with other systems. In short, dashboards designed to enable fast decision-making based on clear, up-to-date data.
Together, WOCU-Monitoring turns the complexity of software-defined networks into a simple, automated experience focused on total control. By centralizing the connection and automating key processes such as discovery, classification, and continuous monitoring, WOCU-Monitoring dramatically reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks and eliminates manual configurations that consume resources and introduce errors.
This intelligent automation not only speeds up the onboarding of new sites and devices — which become integrated in minutes — but also contributes to a significant reduction in TCO by minimizing external tools, operational effort, and unnecessary workload for teams. The result is a more efficient, more controlled, and far more cost-effective infrastructure.
