Using Reports
The Reports tab displays information about your devices. You can save and email reports. You can also set specific times for emailed reports to be run and sent automatically.
The reports available are dependent on the groups of devices and individual devices you choose from the selector in the left pane.
Note
Some of the subtabs may not be visible to some users.
The following topics discuss the reports provided by WLSE:

•
Using the Basic Report Features
The WLSE reports share several common features. The following topics describe these features:
•
Using the Device Selector
The WLSE contains a device selector and Search that can be used to select a group or devices or an individual device. For information about how to use the device selector, see Using the Device Selector
The search results, as well as the folders in the device selector, display icons indicating the alarm status of the devices. For an explanation of the icons, see Understanding the Icons.
For information about the folders for device groups in the device selector, see System-Defined Groups.
Sorting Table Data
For information on how to sort table data, see Sorting Table Data.
Exporting a Report
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Exporting URL-Based Report Data
The WLSE provides a feature that allows the system administrator to manually enter a URL in the WLSE to export report data, rather than using the UI export function.
Note
Procedure
Step 1

reportcategory={current | trends}
tzOffset={time}The time zone offset in minutes for GMT/UTC. Add a + (plus) or - (minus) as appropriate. For example, -300 minutes means 5 hours.
For trend reports, you must add the following parameters:

DataFrequency={Hourly | Weekly | Daily | Monthly}
An example of a URL to generate XML output for Group Performance Report: RF Utilization, for a group of AP 1100 access points, with start date and time of June 21 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2004, and an end date and time of August 21 23:59:59 GMT+05:30 2004 is as follows:

All reports can be exported via email. These reports can be mailed on-demand, as one-time scheduled jobs, or at recurring intervals. Although IT policies vary depending on the deployment environment, consider scheduling weekly email exports of trending reports and exporting inventory reports as needed. For example, some of the security configuration inventory reports might be exported on a monthly basis as part of an ongoing security audit.
Before You Begin
Configure the mailroute so that the WLSE knows where to send the e-mails. Enter the mail server hostname or IP address by selecting Administration > Appliance > Configure Mailroute.

Displaying Wireless Client Reports
Wireless client reports provide information about:
•
•
•
•
Wireless client reports are not real-time reports. The information displayed in the reports is gathered by client polling and, for particular versions of firmware on IOS access points only, client tracking. To understand more about wireless client reports and how the information for them is gathered, see Client Tracking vs. Client Polling.
Note
You can view the following the report types:
•

•
Displaying a Client Detail Report
Wireless client polling frequency is set to 51 minutes by default. To increase the accuracy of this report, increase the polling frequency. To change the default setting, select Devices > Discover > Inventory > Polling.
Caution
In some instances, report data may be missing for clients that are associated with access points in which client tracking is turned on for their corresponding WDS IOS devices. This happens because the WDS does not include all the information displayed in the report when it sends notifications about client activity events to the WLSE. The missing data may be obtained by selecting Devices > Discover > Inventory > Run Inventory on the associated access point.

Displaying Trends
The trending reports allow you to view performance and error rates over periods of time, which you can use to analyze peak network utilization periods (see Using Trend Reports For Capacity Planning). You can view trends about the monitored access points, bridges, and servers in your network, as well as view, export, and email the reports.
Note
The frequency with which performance data is aggregated can be selected at the time you run the report. To change the default setting for the length of time the data is saved, Devices > Discover > Inventory > Polling.
There may be instances in which the data points on a graph do not appear at the interval you set. This occurs because the graph's contents are summarized when the space needed to show all the data is not available in the specified graph size. For example for a given date range, if there are 100 data points and only 25 can be plotted, the x-axis will be plotted for every 4th point.

Using Trend Reports For Capacity Planning
Trend reports can help you analyze when peak network utilization occurs and make intelligent decisions about whether or not the network is supporting these peak utilizations adequately. If you see that there are a high number of errors during peak periods, or the peak periods correlate with many complaints about performance, you can take steps to improve the WLAN experience, perhaps by deploying more access points.
You can use trend reports to see which access points are most utilized, which are most underutilized, and which have the most errors. These data are useful for making intelligent decisions about the WLAN. Why is the WLAN most utilized in some areas and underutilized in others? Is it simply the location or is there another reason?
For example, in some retail and manufacturing deployments, WLAN administrators have used the WLSE trending reports to determine where the WLAN was underutilized. Using these data, they determined that the employees in these areas were inadequately trained on mobile applications. After this problem was identified and more training supplied to the employees, the WLAN administrators used the WLSE trend reports to validate that the WLAN usage patterns were consistent with expectations. This helped to maximize the return on investment of both the WLAN infrastructure and the wireless applications.
