Prime Infrastructure Log Files location

[Anas Hijjawi]

Hello, As you know if you login to the GUI of Prime Infrastructure you will be able to see your wireless SSIDs and the clients connected, IP addresses, MAC addresses,..etc.

We need to know the location of these log files on the server in order to integrate it with our syslog server.

Thank you

PI does not support export of the log files at the file level.

The data that is exposed to external tools is via the REST API (reference). You need to use that or else set your syslog server as a secondary syslog destination for the WLCs themselves.

Thanks Marvin, can you please tell me how we can do it with REST API, I don't have experience with that, also is there any possibility to access the DB as we do to LMS

[Marvin Rhoads]

The link I provided documents the REST API. How to use it varies by product but you basically make http calls to the PI server and the data comes back in a structured format.

You cannot access the db directly in any supported manner. Yes, it exists within the system but Cisco does not support querying it directly.
