How to show the Client Access 's Destination address in the PEM reports.

Hi All

 

How to show the Client Access 's Destination address top 10 in the PEM reports(Statistics ›› Classification ›› Overview). And includes these IP address of the Throughput and Connections.

 

Thanks everyone.

  • Hi,

     

    I assume you are in 11.5 release. If you need to enable classification statistics, you need to enable them via the sys db "tmm.gpa.ce.events":

     

    sys db tmm.gpa.ce.events { value "false" }

     

    This will have some impact on your machine performance, that's why is disabled by default. We normally encourage/use an external collector like spunk. BIGIP can send HSL reports to the external entity at very low cpu cost, and let the external aggregator creates graphs and provide you with reports.

  • Hi Lee,

     

    I assume you are not talking about PEM policy rule report, but just the graphical representation of the data. Correct?

     

    We are acting like a pcef, so no we don't allow to create your own aggregation ( or minimal ) and report this on a graphical output.

     

    However, this does' mean we don't report anything, actually is the other way around as we can report everything to the flow, and transaction ( next release ). The solution we have uses to report traffic with the PEM policy rule action "reporting"; choose hsl (high speed logging ) for flow reporting and all you need is a collector ( like splunk, but you can find many others ) that aggregate the data and create any report you need. This solution allows to create the report on the subscriber IP address, no matter on which PCEF he is connected to. If you would have the report on the PCEF, and the subscriber is moving around, you would have incomplete information ( unless you don't allow subscribers to move around, i.e. fixed networks ).

  • Hi Lee,

     

    for that please just keep in touch with your sales representative. I don't have the dates at hand at the moment.
