-
-## Overview
-
-The ap collector visualizes data related to wireless access points.
-
-It uses the `iw` command line utility to detect access points. For each interface that is of `type AP`, it then runs `iw INTERFACE station dump` and collects statistics.
-
-This collector is only supported on the following platforms:
-
-- Linux
-
-This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
-
-
-### Default Behavior
-
-#### Auto-Detection
-
-The plugin is able to auto-detect if you are running access points on your linux box.
-
-#### Limits
-
-The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
-
-#### Performance Impact
-
-The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
-
-
-## Metrics
-
-Metrics grouped by *scope*.
-
-The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
-
-
-
-### Per wireless device
-
-These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
-
-This scope has no labels.
-
-Metrics:
-
-| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
-|:------|:----------|:----|
-| ap.clients | clients | clients |
-| ap.net | received, sent | kilobits/s |
-| ap.packets | received, sent | packets/s |
-| ap.issues | retries, failures | issues/s |
-| ap.signal | average signal | dBm |
-| ap.bitrate | receive, transmit, expected | Mbps |
-
-
-
-## Alerts
-
-There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
-
-
-## Setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-#### Install charts.d plugin
-
-If [using our official native DEB/RPM packages](/packaging/installer/UPDATE.md#determine-which-installation-method-you-used), make sure `netdata-plugin-chartsd` is installed.
-
-
-#### `iw` utility.
-
-Make sure the `iw` utility is installed.
-
-
-### Configuration
-
-#### File
-
-The configuration file name for this integration is `charts.d/ap.conf`.
-
-
-You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
-Netdata [config directory](/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
-sudo ./edit-config charts.d/ap.conf
-```
-#### Options
-
-The config file is sourced by the charts.d plugin. It's a standard bash file.
-
-The following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured for the ap collector.
-
-
-<details open><summary>Config options</summary>
-
-| Name | Description | Default | Required |
-|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
-| ap_update_every | The data collection frequency. If unset, will inherit the netdata update frequency. | 1 | no |
-| ap_priority | Controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. | 6900 | no |
-| ap_retries | The number of retries to do in case of failure before disabling the collector. | 10 | no |
-
-</details>
-
-#### Examples
-
-##### Change the collection frequency
-
-Specify a custom collection frequence (update_every) for this collector
-
-```yaml
-# the data collection frequency
-# if unset, will inherit the netdata update frequency
-ap_update_every=10
-
-# the charts priority on the dashboard
-#ap_priority=6900
-
-# the number of retries to do in case of failure
-# before disabling the module
-#ap_retries=10
-
-```
-
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Debug Mode
-
-To troubleshoot issues with the `ap` collector, run the `charts.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The output
-should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
-
-- Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on
- your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`.
-
- ```bash
- cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
- ```
-
-- Switch to the `netdata` user.
-
- ```bash
- sudo -u netdata -s
- ```
-
-- Run the `charts.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
-
- ```bash
- ./charts.d.plugin debug 1 ap
- ```
