Better reporting on-device

Here are some of the OID's i Poll. Would still be really nice to get an executive level report off of the ZD though!

David,

Can you clarify what type of "executive level report" you are asking for?

Re: Better reporting on-device

david_monachin1 — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 21:35:26 GMT

A summary of a clients usage for at least a day would be great. We are piloting chromebooks and its hard to track usage on a single device for the entire day.

My director would love the ability to see what type of devices consume the most bandwidth per day/week/month. There just doesn't seem to be any real reporting other than how much traffic has gone through WLAN and how many clients have been on.

I don't know how to gather bytes transferred per wifi client, but I do know how to log the number of clients associated with each AP, and log that an arbitrary number of times per day.

Here's the set of scripts:
https://github.com/bot779/getruckus

Everything is logged as text, so it's not going to give you pretty "executive" graphs unless you want to spend time being an EXCEL jockey, massaging data + using graph features.

if you want executive oohs and aahs (and not "real" data) try showing them the Map View stuff. Maybe that will make them happy.

bill_burns_6069 — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:06:48 GMT

Whups. OK. I lied.

I probably *do* know how to get bandwidth per client via syslog information.
It is (unfortunately) horribly formatted.

But the "acsrvc_display_sta_stats()" and "acsrvc_thread() ..... last stats reported from unmatched VAP" messages should be combinable to provide the raw per-client data you're looking for.

To split this up into device categories, you'd then have to get operating system versions per client.

That info is available here:
https://github.com/bot779/ruckusconf/...
https://github.com/bot779/ruckusconf

Then you'd have to massage the hell out of that info and do the EXCEL jockey stuff to get a decent pie-chart.

Or... I'm sure Ruckus sells an add-on product to do that for you.
Maybe it's FlexMaster:
http://www.ruckuswireless.com/product...
Or this SmartCell_Insight thingy:
http://www.ruckuswireless.com/product...

Maybe your sales team could provide info on FlexMaster. I'm not finding much.

Or you could hand somebody a wad of cash to build this report for you...

I appreciate the info. I still think this is something Ruckus (Cough) should do for us.

We have (SCI), but be sitting when you find out the price (it's designed for carriers).

Putting management plane on a device requires significant resources (disk, CPU, memory, etc) so that's why it's almost always a separate functional platform (EMS/NMS).

Your executive reports are ready:
https://github.com/bot779/bandperclient

Let me know if you've got a linux system that you can send Ruckus syslog data to.
I'd like to know if these scripts work on someone else's system as well as it works on mine.

Re: Better reporting on-device

david_monachino — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 23:38:57 GMT

I will spin up a linux box tomorrow and get back to you.

Either way Thank you so much!

Hi Bill,

I've tried the script but I have no acsrvc_display_sta_stats() messages in syslog file, so script gives me pretty poor information. How can I get this kind of messages? In the ZD configuration tab, I have selected "Show more" in log settings. I am using 9.5.3.0 build 44.

Thanks
Alberto.

Re: Better reporting on-device

bill_burns_6069 — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:52:50 GMT

I'm running 9.6.1.0, build18 at the moment.
Under Configure/System/Log_Settings:
Remote_Syslog is checked and the IP address of my syslog server has been entered.
for Event_Log_Level, "Show More" is selected.

Under "Remote Syslog Advanced Settings":
for ZoneDirector Settings I have: Facility Name "Keep Original" Priority "ALL"
for Managed AP Settings I have: Facility Name "Keep Original" Priority "Err"

Are those the settings you have?

Re: Better reporting on-device

alberto_de_la_c — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 07:59:42 GMT

Well, in 9.5.3 seems not to have "Remote Syslog Advanced Settings". I've also tried to look for it in command line, but nothing.

Thanks,
Alberto.

alberto_de_la_c — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:01:36 GMT

After upgrading to 9.7 in my lab and configuring all parameters as you mention, I am still not having all syslog messages. There is no acsrvc_display_sta_stats(). Maybe I am missing something else :-S

Re: Better reporting on-device

bill_burns_6069 — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 10:06:30 GMT

Do you have "advanced settings" now?
Did you make the setting changes described above?

Re: Better reporting on-device

alberto_de_la_c — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 10:30:26 GMT

Yes, now I have "advanced settings". All seems to be as you mentioned, maybe there is more configuration needed. Does Flexmaster needed to be running?

Re: Better reporting on-device

bill_burns_6069 — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 15:21:01 GMT

I don't have a flexmaster. (running or otherwise)
Just
system/log_settings:
enable reporting is ticked,
show more is ticked,
priority level is "all".
(and I have an IP address configured under syslog server)

Maybe a Ruckus employee could comment if there's some other requirement.

Try to enable some Debug Components on Administer -> Debug Logs.

On 9.8 for instance to get the user login and IP to be send to a Syslog we must enable the "Client Association".
You need to find out what option display the message you want.

A warning, this could generate a lot of log.

Cheers.
