We are trying to get the details from WAAS CM device using API's as defined by Cisco. The document can be referred to from the below link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v411/api/reference/guide/intr_api.pdf
Cisco API doc asks to call the required service (here DeviceConf) as https://<hostname/ip>:8443/ws/DeviceConf and we are calling it through through Java (using 'HttpConnection') and then embedding a SOAP request with WS-Security Header and using the action named 'getWANInfo'.
The result is that we are unable to read any information and always end getting an HTTP status error 500 from the WAAS CM.
Any idea on what we could be doing wrong or on how to get the WAAS stats via API?

Don,
In the body of the request, try enclosing https://10.88.80.142:8443/ws/DeviceConf in quotations. I used the following version of your request and it worked:

Hi Zach,
Thanks for that. We were able to get it working. In addition to what you pointed out, we were also trying to send the SOAP using 'HttpURLConnection' in Java which did not work. We then had to send the SOAP request via 'SoapConnection' and were ablr to get it working.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hi Don,
I'm just wondering what 3rd party software are you using to pull the API stats off of the WAAS CM?

Hi John,
We are a part of ManageEngine division of Zoho Corp. One of our products is NetFlow Analyzer (http://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/) which uses Cisco NetFlow and similar flow format packets to generate bandwidth and traffic reports.
As a part of NetFlow Analyzer, we are developing our own software to read traffic stats (compressed and decompressed values) off Cisco WAAS CM and allow users to compare them with NetFlow stats.
We are still working on this feature and will be have an EA version available in 1 month or so.
Regards,
Don Thomas
