Hi Guys,
need your help 🙂
we plan a big project with 9000 APs and 4 WLC 8510 , Goal : WIFI OBJECT TRACKING

now we are in test phase , we have cisco Prime with maps of all buildings and exact location of APs. and also CMX , everything is ok ! WLC sends data to Prime and CMX ! and we can track all wifi objects , any wifi object who enters or leaves or connect we get a notification from CMX in JSON format , like this :
{
"_id" : ObjectId("594f09e6a7ab5501ac36f873"),
"PresenceEvent" : {
"subscriptionName" : "WIFI-in",
"entity" : "WIRELESS_CLIENTS",
"deviceId" : "e8:50:8b:6b:ed:7e",
"locationMapHierarchy" : "Conrad>Technikraum>Technikraum",
"locationCoordinate" : {
"x" : 74.75801,
"y" : 115.109955,
"unit" : "FEET"
},
"mseUdi" : "AIR-MSE-VA-K9:V01:mse.abl.local_0326627e-5008-11e7-b1e0-000c29c315ca",
"floorRefId" : -4564188842684317700.0,
"timestampMillis" : 1498352093986.0,
"timestamp" : "2017-06-25T02:54:53.986+0200"
}
}

actually exact location of wifi object is not importand to us ! we need to get MAC address of wifi objects who enter to our coveraged area or leaved or connected for how long !
but we have to pay a lot of money for prime and cmx license ,

is there any way to get these informations directly from WLC ?

Hi Mehran,

You can use a third-party SNMP trap receiver/poller to get some of that information. In the GUI under Management->SNMP you can configure the receiver then configure the Trap Controls to send alerts for various things like Client Association/Disassociation.

You would have to then use that data to work out your client movements I guess.

From a polling perspective, assuming the MIBs are available you can poll for particular things but I don't know if client stats are at all available through that.
