The VM's virtual disk uses datastore-demo, backed by storage-array-demo. Application operations owns app-demo; virtualization operations owns vm-app-demo, hypervisor-demo and datastore-demo; storage operations owns storage-array-demo. client-comparison-demo (aabb.ccdd.ee02) uses independent app-comparison-demo, whose compute/storage dependencies are unspecified.

Healthy comparison traffic can reduce support for a controller-wide interruption while leaving app-demo and its VM/storage path open to investigation. It does not prove every wireless component or the affected application's dependencies healthy. AP identity, channel utilization and endpoint logs are unknown. Endpoint support owns client-specific checks.",

Prometheus scrapes fixture-cisco directly and evaluates repository recording/alert rules every five seconds; Grafana reads measured outputs. Wireless, application, VM and storage measurements are generated, not connections to real equipment. endpoint_up is fixture scrape health. There is no Telegraf or Loki service here; Cisco gRPC reception and decoding are outside this path. Missing client measurements are absent series, never injected zeroes.

Trace measurements along app-demo → vm-app-demo → datastore-demo → storage-array-demo. Correlated degradation supports a dependency-path hypothesis, not a proven physical-storage fault, failed hypervisor or particular component. Absent or stale fields remain unknown.",

Read-only checks: application operations reviews request timing/error evidence and application logs if separately obtained; virtualization operations inspects VM I/O, datastore latency, host paths and resource/queue evidence; storage operations inspects array latency, queue/load and path/controller evidence. Record gaps and competing causes. A remedy is conditional: after a responsible human confirms contention or a path issue and reviews impact, they may schedule workload relief, repair the verified path or apply an approved vendor/runbook change.

Canonical contextual thresholds include RSSI at or below -70 dBm, SNR at or below 20 dB, retry severity at or above 35, and controller CPU at or above 80 percent. Threshold crossings are not proof of cause. association_proxy is recent RSSI/speed-series presence, not explicit association state.

A traffic pause alone does not identify radio failure or a stopped application. Stable shared wireless evidence warrants seeking evidence in the endpoint/application and its dependency path, rather than assuming a controller-wide outage. Read-only checks may include endpoint/application health and relevant logs if provided. A restart is only a conditional human-reviewed remedy after a stuck component is confirmed. Broad radio/controller resets require supporting evidence.",

"text": "raw_client_count counts current raw client RX-byte counter series; missing is the site-level two-minute missing-telemetry rule. Series presence is not traffic rate. endpoint_up can remain one while client observations disappear. That indicates a visibility gap, not proof of zero traffic, disassociation, application failure or storage failure. Check generated exporter output, scrape/query configuration, time range and observation freshness using read-only checks appropriate to this demo. Observability operations owns the observation path. Restore a verified fault through a human-reviewed change if needed, then verify measurements and rule recovery.
