    The WAM application stats are really the only thing to look at other than the header. It looks like some of the responses are being cached.

     

    The X-WA-Info header should show you where the content was served from and what node of the acceleration policy it matched. There are explananations on page 77 of this guide:

     

    https://support.f5.com/content/kb/en-us/products/wa/manuals/product/wa_implementations_11_0_0/_jcr_content/pdfAttach/download/file.res/wa_implementations_11_%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%200_0.pdf

     

    If you open the acceleration policy in BIG-IP GUI, and hover over the individual leaf names in the policy tree, it will display a 5 digit number. That number corresponds to the node ID in the X-WA-Info header.

Hi Lyonsson, first off, which version of the iApp template are you using? The most recent is f5.microsoft_sharepoint_2010_2013.v1.0.0.tmpl.

 

Next, when you say you are selecting the webacceleration-wam-enabled profile, you mean you are selecting "Yes, use BIG-IP AAM" in response to the "Use the BIG-IP Application Acceleration Manager?" question, then choosing that acceleration profile in response to the "Which Web Acceleration profile do you want to use for caching?" question, correct?

Did you previously create an AAM web application and associate the webacceleration-wam-enabled profile with it before running the iApp? In this case we recommend selecting the "Create a profile based on optimized-acceleration" option, as it will create all the necessary configuration for proper web acceleration.
