Bandwidth analysis for a particular group on APM

Hi,

 

I am working on an APM configuration where I am going to segregate a group of users using LDAP group assignment into a group called apple. I want to perform bandwidth analysis for this group of users.

 

  1. I am trying to analyse if this would be possible to do.
  2. Will Application Visibility and Reporting (AVR) from BIG-IP help in performing the analysis?

Thanks for your answers and suggestions.

    The best you can do is check the logs. 

    May 11 13:42:08 cooper-apm-11-6-0 notice apd[23941]: 01490010:5: 069ff57c: Username 'test'

    For example for this username "test" you can see the lease pool IP address, the client IP address, the exact time the tunnel was opened and closed and you can also see the session statistics.

    I would send the logs to a SIEM like Splunk and then write the correlation reports to gather the data in a way that makes since to you.
