Retrieving Wi-Fi access log data

Contact Tracing provides the following options:

  • Manually upload data from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by using the import Wi-Fi access logs option
  • Automatically get the Wi-Fi access logs from external systems by using the integration option

Integration with the following systems is available:

  • Integration with Mist Systems

    Use the Mist Systems API to automatically import the Wi-Fi access logs data into the Wi-Fi Access Register table.

  • Integration with Cisco DNA Spaces

    Import the Cisco DNA Spaces Wi-Fi access data into the Wi-Fi Access Register [sn_imt_tracing_wifi_access_register] table by either generating a proximity report or downloading the access data into a spreadsheet and then uploading it.

    • Microsoft Excel spreadsheet: Download the proximity report from Cisco DNA Spaces and attach the file in the diagnostic request task.
    • Proximity report: Log in to the Cisco DNA Spaces portal and generate the proximity report by providing the diagnostic request task number. The proximity report containing the Wi-Fi access logs is posted into the Wi-Fi Access Register table.

      For more information, see Fetch potentially exposed user data from a data source.

    • Wi-Fi access data files: Import Wi-Fi access data from the files from a Secured FTP server into the Wi-Fi Access Register table. Cisco DNA Spaces system uploads these raw data files containing the Wi-Fi access data each day on a scheduled time. The data is imported from these files when you run the diagnostic request to identify potentially exposed employees.

      Note: The file from the SFTP server for a specific day is imported into the Wi-Fi Access Register table only once. Any subsequent diagnostic requests use the data in the table to generate the list of potentially exposed employees.

  • Add wearable devices assigned to employees
    Add wearable devices such as Bluetooth LE-enabled devices that are assigned to employees to enable them to connect to the Wi-Fi network in your workplaces.

  • Create an organization and load sites
    Create an organization for which you are collecting the Wi-Fi access logs using Mist Systems. After you have created an organization, load sites using a scheduled job.
  • Configure Cisco DNA Spaces settings for Wi-Fi access logs
    Set up the Cisco DNA Spaces integration for Wi-Fi access logs.
  • Import your Wi-Fi access logs spreadsheet
    Import Wi-Fi access logs from an Excel spreadsheet into the Wi-Fi Access Register table.
  • Use Wi-Fi access logs from Mist Systems
    Identify potentially exposed employees using Wi-Fi access logs from Mist Systems.
  • Use imported Wi-Fi access logs
    Identify potentially exposed employees by manually importing Wi-Fi access logs into the Wi-Fi Access Register table.
