Central Reporting for WAAS

levyj · ‎11-18-2008

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?

WAAS 4.1 provides more options for custom reports by device, device group as well as schedule custom reports.

Your link is for switches not WAAS. What can we do in 4.0 and not 4.1. 4.1 is too new and buggy from what I've read. Is there some sort of TCL script or something we can pull from?

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.
