Gateway → Get Gateway WAN Compression Trends for Uplink

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves WAN compression trend data for a specific uplink on a gateway device within the Aruba Central Next Gen platform. It is useful for monitoring WAN link performance and compression efficiency over a specified time range, helping network administrators analyze uplink behavior and optimize network performance.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to monitor WAN compression trends on a particular gateway uplink to identify potential issues or improvements in data transmission efficiency.
  2. An IT team uses this operation to gather historical WAN compression data for reporting and capacity planning.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting.
Domain API domain to interact with, set to 'monitoring' for this operation.
Serial Number Gateway serial number to identify the specific gateway device.
Link Tag WAN interface link tag to specify the uplink interface for which to retrieve compression trends.
Time Range Optional timestamp range for data retrieval, defaults to the last 3 hours if not specified.

Output

JSON

  • timestamp - Timestamp of the WAN compression trend data point.
  • compressionRatio - Compression ratio value at the given timestamp.
  • uplink - Identifier of the uplink interface for which the data is retrieved.

Dependencies

  • Requires Aruba Central Next Gen API access with appropriate OAuth2 credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the gateway serial number and link tag are correctly specified; incorrect values will result in no data or errors.
  • If the API domain is not set to 'monitoring', the operation may fail as it is domain-specific.
  • Check that the time range is valid and in ISO 8601 format; invalid timestamps may cause errors.
  • Enable Debug Mode to get detailed logs for troubleshooting issues during execution.
