Hello. In this video, we will look at profiler feed reports.
We'll start off by
reviewing reports that are based on profiling data that was gathered in previous labs. Our first step in doing so is to navigate to Work Centers, Profiler, and then Feeds. We'll scroll to the bottom of the Profiler Feed Service Configuration page, where we can see information about the latest profiler feed update. Here, we'll first verify that there is a time stamp showing when the latest applied feed occurred. If you are not able to see a time stamp in your own lab, you may need to verify and troubleshoot why the Cisco Profile Feed Service is not working for your lab. There is a button here that allows me to undo the latest changes that were made based on the feed shown by the time stamp, but I'm more interested in the link below the button that says Go To Update Report Page. I'll click on that link and a new tab opens in my browser. On this new page, the Change Configuration Audit Report has shown, but it has been filtered to show only the entries where the administrator of the change is the Cisco Feed Service. Scrolling down the list of entries shows where the Feed Service has changed existing profile configurations and also where the Feed Service has added new profile configurations, both shown as the type of event. Under Objects, you can see different types of endpoints and also some of the rules used when profiling. I'll scroll down the list of changes until I find an entry where the event type shows as Added Configuration. Clicking on that event opens another tab with more details about the entry. From the Details page, I can see the object type was an Endpoint Policy and that the object in this case was workstations running the Catalina Release of macOS. Again, the event was that this configuration was added to my ISE system. A lot more details are shown under Modified Properties. If I hover my mouse over the entry, I can see the full details of the event. I'll close the Details tab for the Added Configuration Event. Next let's click to see the details of a Changed Configuration Event. Another tab opens up with those details. In this case, the object type was a rule for an HP Color LaserJet Multifunction printer. The server details remain the same and more details show under the Modified Properties section. And again, hovering my mouse over this item shows even more information about the changed configuration. I'll close the two report tabs on my browser, and we'll now load the Opera Email Client by clicking on its icon, which is located on the desktop of my admin PC. The Opera Client shows that I have a number of emails related to the ISE Feed. The very top message is not part of the plan lab, but I'll point it out. This email indicates that the Automated Feed Service failed at 1:06 AM on Friday. This is likely related to certificate issues between my ISE server and the Cisco Feed Service. I'll try to resolve that issue later. We can, however, follow the lab steps and view the emails that were received on Thursday, when the feed updated successfully. The top message from Thursday is the Feed OUI Applied Update email. If I click on it, I can see that when the update occurred, 5374 OUIs were added and 766 OUIs were updated. This large number shows because this is the very first time that the update was run on my ISE system. The numbers of additions and updates shown on your own system will probably be different. The second email that we'll look at is the one titled Feed Policies Applied Update. This email shows that Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3 policies were downloaded. 243 policies were identified to be applied, and 243 policies were applied to my system. As with the OUI updates, the number that you see on your own system may be different from what I show here.
