Problem with MSE tracking

Hello.

I have a problem with MSE tracking client in my network.

What we have:

PI 1.3 with evaluation license (temporary)

MSE 7.4.100 with 3k device licenses (hardware appliance 3355)

WLC 5508 7.4.100

For now MSE is reacheble from PI and WLC, all setings are synchronized, NMSP status is active, mse assigned for maps and synchronized, on map we have 3 APs, but in Contex Aware tab we didnt see any tracking devices, all counts 0.

Any  suggestions why it can be ?

Thank you very much.

Yes, only in monday, but as i remember all status is fine.

You have the Context Aware status enabled on PI?  If so, try removing it and enabling it back.

Thanks,

Any idea?

Hi,

We also have the same problems with MSE and experience the exact same log messages in the logs.

Looking forward to find the solution to this problem.

The operational service is down as it shows on what you posted. Did you enable the service in Prime?

which service exactly?

I was looking at the wrong service.... so you do have it up but the MSE doesn't show any clients... The only thing I would try is to remove the MSE and add teh MSE back to PI.  There is nothing else you can do especially if the WLC5508 has clients authenticated to itself.  The WLc sends the info to PI and then MSE handles it from there.

Thanks,

Scott

had a similar issue with my internal MSE.  I had to default it, and then run throught the setup script again.  Once I did that I started tracking clients
