Sensor-based roaming issue identification in a wireless network

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
• initiate a wireless roam for a sensor from a source AP to a target AP;
• monitor management traffic between the sensor and one of the source AP or the target AP during the wireless roam;
• in response to detecting an anomaly in the management traffic, reinitiate the wireless roam for the sensor from the source AP to the target AP;
• initiate management traffic capture on the sensor during the reinitiated wireless roam;
• identify a roaming issue for the sensor based on analysis of the captured management traffic;
• and
• report the roaming issue.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing system to:

• initiate a wireless roam for a sensor from a source AP to a target AP;
• monitor management traffic between the sensor and one of the source AP or the target AP during the wireless roam;
• in response to detecting an anomaly in the management traffic, reinitiate the wireless roam for the sensor from the source AP to the target AP;
• initiate management traffic capture on the sensor during the reinitiated wireless roam;
• identify a roaming issue for the sensor based on analysis of the captured management traffic;
• and
• report the roaming issue.
