SmartCell Insight (SCI) and other third-party GPB listeners use data from the controller to analyze performance and generate reports about the WiFi network. Configuring the Northbound Data Streaming settings in the controller enables data transfer from the controller to the Northbound Data Streaming server using the MQTT protocol.
Follow these steps to configure the Northbound Data Streaming server settings:
-
Go to
System >
General Settings >
Northbound Data Streaming.
-
Select the
Enable Northbound Data Streaming check-box to configure the Northbound Data Streaming server settings.
-
Click
Create, the Create Northbound Data Streaming Profile form appears.
Enter the following details:
- Name—Profile name.
- Server Host—IP address to the Northbound Data Streaming host server.
NOTE
SCI profile supports only the IPv4 format.
- Server Port—Port number over which the Northbound Data Streaming server and controller can communicate and transfer data.
- User—Name for the user.
- Password—password for the respective user.
- System ID—ID of the Northbound Data Streaming system that should be accessed.
-
Click
OK.
-
Select
All or
Stream GPB data by Domain/Zone.
Selecting
All sends all the KPIs or stats for all zones or domains to SCI or other third-party GPB listeners.
Selecting
Stream GPB data by Domain/Zone allows you to set any one of the nodes (Domain or Zone), and the AP message of that node is bypassed.
-
From
Settings, select the domain or zone and enable
Stream GPB data in this node. This will selectively send KPIs or stats for certain zones or domains to SCI or other third-party GPB listeners.
NOTE
You can also edit or delete an Northbound Data Streaming profile. To do so, select the Northbound Data Streaming profile from the list and click
Configure or
Delete as required.
