WAAS 4.1.1c Reporting - Horrendous

Is it just me, or has the reporting gone really down hill since the 4.1 upgrade. I know that it allows the ability to create reports, but I find it very limited. For example, I have a business application that we use over the WAE devices, and I would like to generate a report to show our clients the gains they are achieving from this on a weekly and monthly basis. There seems no way to tailor a report to one application and even to change the time frame on any report from anything but the previous 24 hours. Am I really missing something here. Is there even the option to do this from a CLI at the CM WAE?
Thanks,
Richard

Richard,
You will be able to create customized reports or use existing pre-defined reports. As soon as you login to CM you have the WAAS system wide (all WAEs in your network) report which gives you pre-defined graphs. These graphs time frame can be changed from 24hr (default) to weekly, monthly, or hourly bassis by clicking 'Settings' button at the top (located just above the graphs).
If you want to customize the graphs then you can do it by clicking 'Add Chart' button at the top (located in the same row as 'Settings' button ).
Under the 'Monitor' drawer on the left you have more reports / graphs available as well.
With 4.1 release the reporting functions were elegantly enhanced.
Cheers
Nat

  • WAAS and Netflow, traffic reports are inflated unpredictably

    Not sure if anybody has any luck getting Netflow to report correctly when WAAS is in a picture.  We have about 30 sites deployed with WAAS in out of line configuration and every single one of them incorrectly report Netflow traffic to our NetQoS Reporter Analyzer product.  Typically the traffic throughput seems to be inflated several times higher.  We tried every which way to alter the netflow configuration in the router including Egress Netflow but the traffic is still showing higher than actual traffic coming out of a port.  In one site, even the "show interface" command on the router shows 5-minute rate of 16Mbps on a 6Mbps Mulitlink circuit. 

    Hello Thang Lu,
    We have run into this issue with a few customers and here are a some things to consider:
    - If you have 'Flexible' NetFlow enabled: Beware, Flexible NetFlow does not export the flow direction by default you must configure the direction bit to be set for egress flows.  Traditional NetFlow v9 does this automatically.
    - Are you excluding certain protocols in NetQoS?  If you don't do this, some tunnels and VPN connections will be exported twice!
    These are the protocols we exclude by default in Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer:
    I hope these suggestions help you.

  • WAAS and NAM 4.2 Reporting

    hey folks,
    I recently went through the upgrade process with a customer to move their NAMs to 4.2 and integrate WAAS 4.0.15 with the NAMs via the flow agent. We followed the NAM integration guide and setup some reporting in the NAM for collecting information from the WAAS flow agents on bandwidth and response time. However, at this point, the information that we seem to be getting is limited. I am finding the reports in the WAAS GUI itself to be more valuable at this time, however, I have heard from several engineers since this integration has been available that NAM and WAAS are a good fit. Does anyone have any specific reports that they can point me towards in the NAM? Right now I have setup some Application optimization specific reports in the WAAS CM for HTTP and CIFS. What I would like to do is use the NAM to validate those reports and provide some upper management level visibility into specific flows to specific servers and how effective WAAS has been in optimizing that traffic. This customer is about to deploy WAAS worldwide and having some more detailed reporting capability would be very helpful.
    Does anyone on the list have any good experience with NAM 4.2 and WAAS that they can share and some how to's on what reports they are finding the most valuable to their senior managers and IT staff? Thanks
    Sincerely
    Mike Louis

  • Managing Photos on Multiple Macs

    We have currently 3 Macs in the house and unfortunately the photos are spread across the 3 Macs. Some photos are on multiple machines and some on just one.
    I would like to get all the photos into a single iPhoto Library. What is the best way to accomplish this?
    Export all photos on all machines
    Delete the library one machine
    Import all photos into a new library
    Once that is done, I would like all the computers to have access to that single Library and work from that Library.
    Possible?

    gpryzby
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The easiest way to consolidate all the libraries into one is with iPhoto Library Manager
    which will facilitate the moving of both pics and associated metadata.
    When it comes to sharing you have two options:
    1. Go to the iPhoto Preferences -> Sharing in the principal library and enable 'Share this Library', then, in the other libraries, go to the Preferences and enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The other users will be able to view the pictures in the main library. For this to work iPhoto must be running in the host library.
    2. If you want everyone to have total access to the library - that is, add pics, edit pics, remove pics etec., then move the iPhoto Library Folder to the Users/Shared Folder and set the File Permissions to allow everyone Read/Write access to the folder and enclosed files. Then, in each case in turn, hold down the option (or alt) key and from the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library', and navigate to the location of the iPhoto Library Folder. Thereafter that will be the default location of the Photo Library for all such machines.
    Some caveats: iPhoto is NOT a multi-user app, it simply does not have the code to negotiate simultaneous users. So, only one user can have the library open at a time, and other users attempting to open it, or attempting to save to it can corrupt the database. So backing up is the order of the day. Further, if the connection between the machines is wireless many people have reported horrendously slow import times using a wireless connection.

  • Is a NID needed for DSL service?

    I just signed up for "High Speed Internet" (aka DSL since FiOS is not yet available in Baltimore city).  I am doubtful I will get the promised speeds of Downloads up to 3 Mbps / Uploads up to 768 Kbps because the wiring is so old from the telephone pole to the house that I do not even have a Network Interface Device (NID) on the outside of the house.  I should add that I am about to install fresh wire on the inside of the house from where the phone line comes in to the point where the phone line will hook into the modem, so my inside wiring will be fine.  Do I have anything to worry about?  Will they definitely install a NID for me and redo the wiring from the poll to the house since it is 30+ years old?  I should add that I do not have home phone service and do not need it either.
    I just called Verizon to try and schedule the DSL technician and the one lady told me they turn on the DSL from a central location and there is no need for the technician to even come to my house so they will not install a NID while another lady told me that the technician will come out to my house and test the signal.  I was just trying to be proactive today in calling to set up an appointment when I would actually be home since if they do install an NID they will possibly need access to the interior of my house to hook up my interior wiring to the NID.  They wouldn't even let me push back the appt to a few days past the due date and none of my questions were answered.
    I have a feeling that no matter what happens, it will be a fight to get them to replace the 30+ year old wiring that comes from the poll to my house.  I am just assuming that this wiring is likely not new enough to get me the promised speeds (Downloads up to 3 Mbps / Uploads up to 768 Kbps).  Anyone have any insight or advice for me?
    Message Edited by RalphPa on 08-19-2009 06:33 AM

    No NID needed. I had DSL (moved to FiOS), and my copper pair ends with a porcelain block. My guess is the copper pair is upwards of 70 years old (the house dates from 1926).I had DSL service for about 15 months with Verizon before moving to FiOS. The service to this house long predates NID's.
     That's the good news. The bad news was that if I could hear thunder, my DSL service was down, and it also degraded substantially in bad weather. While on good days I could just about get to the 3mbps downlink, 650kbs was about the best I could ever do on the uplink. The modem reported horrendous losses (60+db) on the link, which mean fairly high transmit power on both ends which ultimately may impact modem life.
    Anyway once you are installed, you can connect to the router/modem and see what the modem has been able to negotiate with the CO. It will be in the log everytime the DSL connection is initiated.
    Ultimately the DSL performance depends upon how good or how bad the copper pair is between your premises and the CO. Even ancient copper can work quite well if the distances are short.

  • WaaS Central Manager - device serial number report available?

    Hi folks,
    just wondering if anyone knows a quick/easy way to talk to the WAAS database to pull serial number information for all of my WAE's installed.  i have 35 devices scattered around 7 states and I'm hoping for an easy way to collect serial number info.
    I was hoping the platform report from the CM would do it, but it does not provide serial numbers of each chasis, only model and software version.
    My thought is the CM probably has this data somewhere?  I'm hoping to avoid having to manually telnet to 35 appliances and run the command 'show inventory' to find the appliance I am looking for.
    anyone have a good shortcut?
    also - anyone know what the database format is?  mysql? postgres?

    The best way to collect serial # remotely from a WAAS device (WAE) is by executing 'show hardware'. You may write a script to get it.
    CM don't provide this info currently.
    Can you please unicast me at '[email protected]' so that I will be able to understand your requirements.
    thanks

  • WAAS Reporting

    Hi All,
    We currently have WAAS deployed in a production network and we are trying to understand the traffic reporting on the WAAS Central Manager.
    So when we look at the traffic summary report it shows original traffic over the last hour and optimised traffic over the last hour, does the original traffic mean the amount traffic that has arrived at the WAAS device? and the optimised traffic is what has left the WAAS device? How do i know what percentage was cached/compressed/accelerated?
    Also i exported this from a WAE device and im trying to interpret original in and optimised out? can somebody clarify this?

    I believe that the 'original traffic' indicates the amount of data that would have been sent/needed had the WAAS no been in place.  The 'optimised traffic' is the actual amount of data that was sent.  The difference in the two numbers is the savings that in bandwidth that the WAAS gave you.

  • WAAS - Custom Reporting - Documentation

    Does anyone have a link to documentation regarding creating custom reports on the WAAS appliance? I have been told that you can create a custom report that will let me look at data for a specific port on a specific day during a specific time.
    What I am ultimately looking for is a report that will let me look at traffic that was handledly by one of the WAAS devices at a remote location say last night between 8:00pm and 4:00am.
    So far all that I have been able to get out of the system is traffic that happened yestarday summerized over the 24 hour period.
    We are completing a product evaluation and are trying to evaluate traffic patterns without WAAS or the rules in passthrough and with WAAS. This information is lumped into the daily summary and we cannot seem to get specific detailed reports.

    Brent,
    I think for documentation, what you are looking for is here...

  • WAAS Capacity Planning TFO Connection Reporting?

    For WAAS Capacity Planning I'm trying to work out a way to gather WAAS appliance and module TFO connection statistics over time for each device. I'm looking to gather the number of TFO connections at regular intervals to allow us to get an accurate picture of the current WAAS capacity utilisation. The central manager reports a "The TFO accelerator is overloaded (connection limit)" when the maximum TFO connection limit for a devices is exceeded but it does not tell you the number of connections that exceeded the limit on the box.
    I've tried using the WAAS Monitoring XML API:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v421/monitoring/guide/MG_XML_API.html
    But it does not allow reporting of this statistic as far as I can work out.
    If you run "show stat conn" on a WAAS device it gives you the "Current Active Optimized Flows", but this is the current number of flows and not the maximum number of TFO connections reached since the counters were last cleared?
    Current Active Optimized Flows:                                3258
       Current Active Optimized TCP Plus Flows:              812
       Current Active Optimized TCP Only Flows:              2453
       Current Active Optimized TCP Preposition Flows:    0
    Current Active Auto-Discovery Flows:                         411
    Current Reserved Flows:                                           99
    Current Active Pass-Through Flows:                          540
    Historical Flows:                                                      532
    Does anyone know anyway of anyway to either manually gather this statistic from a WAAS appliance or module? Or poll this statistic from a monitoring system like Solarwinds?

    Very good questions. Let me try and take them one at a time. Some of the answers you will likely find in the CM GUI help (upper-left corner is the Help button), or in the online documentation. But let's add a little more color and detail.
    1)When we pull bandwidth Optimization report, on Y-Axis the graphs says Effective Capacity .What is Effective Capacity?
    Basically, the "effective increased bandwidth capacity" is telling you how much additional WAN bandwidth you've gained because of the optimization. It will chart somewhere between 1 times and 100 times. Typically it charts all traffic, though you can configure it to chart traffic for specific Applications.
    The CDM online help gives the formulas used to chart the graph:
    Effective WAN Capacity = 1 / (1-% Reduction Excluding Pass-Through)
    % Reduction Excluding Pass-Through = (Original Excluding Pass-Through - Optimized) / (Original Excluding Pass-Through)
    2)what is reduction % excluding and including passthrough
    Looking at the formulas given above might help you understand. The one is a reduction ratio compared to only the original traffic that is optimized. The other is a reduction ratio compared to all original traffic, whether it is optimized or not. So, if you want to know what kind of optimization you are getting for the traffic that you configured to have optimized, look at the "excluding pass-through" numbers. If you want to know the positive effect that optimization is having on your full traffic load, take a look at the "including pass-through" numbers.
    3)What is effectivity capacity including and excluding passthrough ?
    The effective capacity is what kind of throughput you can potentially realize on the WAN -- assuming you would fill it to 100% capacity -- because of the level of optimization you are seeing. The "including" numbers show you the effect of optimization compared to all the traffic passing through the WAE whether it is optimized or not. The "excluding" numbers show the effect of optimization compared only to the traffic that is receiving optimizations.
    4)With the help of which report, we can show the customer that the file download which took 10 mins in first attempt, is downloaded in 10secons in next attempt?
    This one is a little trickier. The reports are much broader than a single connection. They are for all traffic, or for traffic that matches specific defined Applications. You could create a separate Application and matching classifiers for the client and/or server IP addresses and/or ports, run the test, then configure the charts to only show you the data for that Application. By default, statistics for an Application aren’t charted unless you check the "Enable Statistics" box when defining/editing the Application.
    5)How to show that the bandwidth utilization has decreased by which %.
    You want to look at the % reduction numbers you asked about in #2 above.
    6)Which report says that the applications have become this much time faster?
    These questions are normally put forwarded by many customers ? Can you please help me with your expertise answer ?
    This is probably the hardest question to answer.
    "Faster" isn't always easy to define. You are probably talking about user experience rather than statistics found in a network device. What determines that experience? A web page fully populating with all the pictures? A CIFS-based application that saves a file? A custom application that collects data from different servers over different protocols to perform some operation? Much of that is subjective and based on multiple individual requests, sometimes over different protocols.
    What we can provide are statistics to show the effect of WAN optimization and application acceleration for specific types of traffic. We can't show you that displaying a web page is N times faster with WAAS, because we don't know which of all the many HTTP requests that are made are specific to the user experience. But we can show that each of the requests received so much overall optimization, so much optimization from DRE, so much optimization from LZ, so much added benefit from HTTP acceleration.
    What you would probably do is collect some base-line timings for performing certain user activities, then perform the same operations both cold (first pass) and warm (subsequent passes). Back up those timing numbers with reports from the CM GUI, and perhaps even the "show statistics connection connection-id ". Which reports to use? Start with those Optimization and Acceleration reports. Those are the reports we expect will give the most complete/accurate pictures of the benefit of WAAS. You can also create and even schedule custom reports as needed.

  • Generating Reports in Cisco WAAS

    Is it possible to retrospectively gather a report which shows specific traffic going through the waas devciesat a certain time?
    If this is possible I can get you the tcp/udp ports and / or server IP's.
    The WAAS Central Manager is running on the following version:
    Cisco Wide Area Application Services (universal-k9) Software Release 4.4.5 (build b5 Feb  4 2012)
    Version: oe512-4.4.5.5

    The Connection Details window contains connection addresses, port information, policy information,  and traffic statistics.
    You can also Configure the Chart Settings by Time Frame, Last Hour, Last Day, Last Week.
    hope that helps!

  • Central Reporting for WAAS

    Like to gather for every WAAS device the percent reduction numbers you get under Monitoring/Optimization Statistics Details in some sort of automated way for the previous calendar month. We have more 60+ devices and it is tedious to go to each one to get this information. Is there a script or other method to gather this information? On version 4.0.19 currently. Can you do this in version 4.1?

    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v411/configuration/guide/monitor.html#wp1084005
    Sorry wrong link. WAAS 4.1 is a huge improvement over 4.0. It offers ease of setup, configuration, reporting, monitoring as well as transparent layer 7 optimizations for MAPI, NFS, VIDEO, CIFS, and HTTP with SSL scheduled for release January 09.
    Many customers have upgraded to 4.1.1b with no problems. The feedback from partners and customers has been very positive.
    I myself have been running 4.1.1B in my remote office over a WAN simulator to corporate network with no issues at all. I would suggest downloading 4.1.1 and evaluate to draw your own conclusions.

  • WAAS reporting PT Asymmetric on the Core End

    Hi,
    I have a working WAAS setup between remote site the central / core site. Its accelerating well as configured except for servers on the Central site that use HSRP  and send the reply traffic towards their default gateway (Gateway2) while the request would have arrived via the other HSRP gateway (Gateway1). The WAE device is hanging off Gateway1 and uses WCCP. Here is how it draws out.
    Traffic path for request:
    Client----(WAN)---Gateway1----WAE----Gateway1-------Server
    Traffic path for reply:
    Server---Gateway2---Gateway1---WAE---Gateway1----(WAN)----Client
    The WAE reports (show stat conn) that the traffic path is asymmetric and doesn't do any acceleration on the traffic. The WAE in this case is just a Cisco 2911 router with SRE-710 running WAAS image.
    Thanks,
    Rick.

    Thanks Ahsan,
    I was expecting the same that the complet SYN and SYN+ACK flow through the WAAS box would make it happy with the connection. Another server which has HSRP gateway set to WCCP-Router itsself has got no issues accelerating traffic.
                    WAN
                     |
    WAAS-------WCCP-Router <-----------------   VLAN1
                     |                                            |
                    VLAN1------------------>Server2-------
    The server in question would see the Source MAC in the request packet from WCCP-Router but it will send the reply packet towards Router2's MAC address as the destination, as it is its default gateway.
    Thanks,
    Rick.
