Overview

WAE Live gives immediate and easy access to both current and historical data. Combined, the Explore, Analytics, and Map components offer flexible, interactive means of finding summarized aggregate views or quickly narrowing the search to only relevant details. Explore enables you to interactively navigate to current and historical data, and Analytics allows you to generate reports on this data. Map includes a near-realtime weathermap and health panels from which you can navigate to relevant network data. Note that WAE Live information is available on a per-network basis if configured by the administrator.

Sample Use Cases

Following are a few of the WAE Live use cases across diverse groups.

  • Operators—Instantly detect backbone congestion, assess currently impacted LSPs, and decide reroutes based on size and path.
  • Planners—Develop trending reports for importing into WAE Design growth plan tools to determine future needs, such as site-to-site traffic trends per class of service.
  • Designers and Engineers—Determine whether LSPs are routed on their shortest paths over time and what events cause them to reroute.
  • Peering Coordinators—Monitor priority peers and their growth while verifying that traffic is balanced.
  • Business Managers—Determine impact of product launches per market or per site.

WAE Live Menu

The availability of menu items depends on the licenses purchased and on your role (user or admin).

Description

Explore

Enables you to interactively navigate to objects and their properties to view their current or historical state through tables and graphs. You can also use the selections for input when creating reports from Analytics pages.

Inventory

View a hierarchical representation of the current hardware in your network.

Analytics
  • The Configure Report page provides access to creating multiples types of reports, including health, traffic, deviation, and other user-specified (ad hoc) details.
  • The Reports page lists those reports that you have named and identified for frequent use. You can rerun reports, access report results, and schedule reports to run at specified dates with results mailed to you or others.
  • The Report Log page lists all reports previously run, including both named and unnamed. You can rerun reports and access report results. This page lists each report’s job ID, which is required information for importing traffic reports into the WAE Design GUI.

Map

Displays a physical topology (weathermap) in near-realtime to show what is currently happening in the network. Additionally, there are high-level health panels, and you can drill down to see more detailed information.

Settings

If you are logged in as an administrator, enables you to perform administrative tasks, such as configuring the data source and creating new properties. For more information, see the Cisco WAE Live Administration Guide.

Data Insertion

The administrator configures the collection of data for use in the WAE Live application. If the data insertion process is halted, a message appears at the top of each page alerting you to this issue.

  • If you have a user role, contact your WAE Live or system administrator to fix this issue.
  • If you have an admin role, click the Check Status button on the Settings > Data Source page to verify this issue. To troubleshoot the source of the issue, use the ml_insert_ctl tool. For information, see ml_insert_ctl -help.
