Cisco WAE Live 6.4 User Guide

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).

• 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.
