Hi,

 

one of our clients uses aerohive with the following configuration:

  • AP121
  • HiveOS 6.5r8
  • Hivemanager 8.2r1

 

We require client location analytics, similar to what the Aerohive Cloud Services platform offers. See https://developer.aerohive.com/docs/location-presence

 

 

My first question is: Does the Hivemanager 8.2r1 offers any way in extracting the client location informatioN?

 

If yes, where can I find the documentation for that specific task?

 

thanks.

HiveManager versions starting with 8.x are HiveManager Classic versions. To migrate to HiveManager (formerly NG), you would want to follow this guide: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/HiveManager-Classic-to-HiveManager-Migration-Guide

 

If you are moving from online HiveManager Classic to online HiveManager, or from HiveManager Classic on premises to HiveManager on premises, there is no change in your licensing cost and you can move your current keys over to the new HiveManager and just renew them when you would have otherwise needed to renew them. Unfortunately there is no way to move configuration from Classic to HiveManager, so you or the end user would need to rebuild the configuration objects in HiveManager.

Thanks Sam for your answer.

 

I now understand that the feature is available in HiveManager. However, I still don't understand how the data can be accessed from another application. Do you know if there is an API description for the Location information?

You can enable client location tracking via the Maps in HiveManager Classic. This page will tell you how to do this: http://docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/8.2r2/hm/full/Content/maps/map.htm?Highlight=Enable%20AP%20perimeter%20validation%20for%20location

 

I would start at "Use Heat maps for location" and read down from there, it will outline the steps needed to enable this feature.
