Hello,

Anyone know what tools or can we log for specific wireless client?

I want to log one host and the log should contains the client rssi, ap name and the time stamp so I can track the client movement.

I don't think you really can get that info from the controller unless you build some sort of script that connects to the controller and issues something like show client details <mac address> and then run that command every so often and parse the data you need.

You can also look at the Windows device if its a laptop. You can try running this command in privilege and get alot of data from the device: netsh wlan show wlanreport
You can set the number of day's to go back using: netsh wlan show wlanreport duration="7"

Hi @Scott Fella

Unfortunately we not have any permission to touch the laptop, so get the log from the AP or WLC is the solution.

Well, it seems like you have to right a script to capture the show client details in order to get the information you need. You might be able to run a debug and capture that data, but I don't know if you will find any RSSI information, but should see roaming events. Take a look at both and see if they provide what you want.
