Extracting client and RFID location data from PI

Dale Wright — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 07:19:47 GMT

Hello Dev community, I’m hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I would like to extract the location data for any client or RFID tag from my Prime Infrastructure Server.

Could you please point me in the right direction for any documentation relating to this subject.

I have looked over Devnet and cannot seem to find any examples relating to this exact scenario.

For ref.

PI Server is Ver 3.0

MSE is Ver 8.0.120.7

WLC is Ver 8.0.133.0

Hi Dale,

If you use the synchronization services with MSE and WLC in PI server, the MSE 8.0 REST API resources are available to track RFID tag locations, see Cisco Mobility Services Engine REST API Guide, Release 8.0 - Cisco

In MSE REST API

With ID

GET http(s)://<MSE IPADDRESS>/api/contextaware/v1/location/<clients|tags|rogueaps|rogueclients|interferers>/$id

With Query Conditions

GET http(s)://<MSE IPADDRESS>/api/contextaware/v1/location/<clients|tags|rogueaps|rogueclients|interferers>/?

Parameter	Description
id	Macaddress (all), IP Address (client) or Username (client) - optional

Parameter	Description
mapHierarchy	String containing campus>building>floor
currentlyTracked	Boolean if client is currently found by the MSE
locatedAfterTime	Timestamp
locatedBeforeTime	Timestamp
sortBy	String parameter:<asc
page	Integer
pageSize	Integer (default 5000)
dot11Status	String [“UNKNOWN”, “ASSOCIATED”, “PROBING”] - wireless client only

Hi Matt,

That's a great help, thanks.

This will at least help me point our Dev Team in the right direction.

I was originally thinking PI was the way to go as what telemetry we extract needs to at least relate to a map or grid ref.

As MSE seems to perform the tracking but PI overlays that to a map I thought that was where we needed to look.
