1. A wireless access point system, comprising:
- a processor configured to tap event data and process the event data using a plurality of event filters, wherein each event filter of the plurality of event filters applies event criteria to detect one or more types of events, and tapping the event data includes intercepting the event data in the process of being routed, via the wireless access point system, between at least two different communication parties separate from the wireless access point system, and the event data is tapped within the wireless access point system using an analytic tap that observes network statistics and a performance tap that analyzes content included in the event data;
a memory configured to store the tapped event data; and
a communication interface configured to provide a report of a detected event type, wherein at least a portion of the report is correlated to analyze a performance of a wireless network.

Abstract
A wireless access point system includes a processor configured to tap event data and process the event data using a plurality of event filters. Each event filter of the plurality of event filters applies event criteria to detect one or more types of events. The wireless access point system includes a memory configured to store the tapped event data. The wireless access point system includes a communication interface configured to report a report of a detected event type. At least a portion of the report is correlated to analyze a performance of a wireless network.
