Configure a BLE Data Export PolicyNEW!

Before enabling BLE data export:

Ensure that the AP‘s Bluetooth radio is active and the mode is set to le-sensor. For more information on configuring the Bluetooth settings for an AP‘s profile, see Manage Bluetooth Configuration.
Perform the procedure Configure a Sensor Policy to define the interval at which RSSI data is forwarded from the BLE sensor to the external, third-party server. Next, apply the policy to an RF Domain. See Configure Site Policies for instructions.

A BLE Data Export policy enables forwarding of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data to an external, third-party server.

The BLE data export policy provides the external, third-party server‘s REST URL. After configuring the policy, you must apply it to a Site (RF Domain). Once applied, BLE-enabled WiNG APs within the domain are able to sense BLE iBeacon and Eddystone beacons from other BLE-enabled devices, and forward device data to the specified third-party server. This data is forwarded in JSON format.

Go to Policies > BLE Data Export.
The BLE Data Export window opens and displays a list of configured policies, if any exist. The total number of configured policies is shown in parentheses.
Choose from the following actions:
1. Select the sort icon adjacent to the Policy Name column heading to sort the data. By default, the data is sorted in ascending order, as indicated by the direction of the arrow in the icon . Toggle the icon to sort the column data in descending order . The "1" indicates by which column heading the data is currently sorted.
2. Select associated with a BLE Data Export policy to modify it.
  Edit the BLE Data Export policy in accordance with the instructions in the steps in this procedure. You cannot edit the Policy Name.
3. Select associated with a BLE Data Export policy to remove it.
4. Select to create a new BLE Data Export policy.
  The Add Policy pop-up window opens.
  1. Assign a policy Name. The name cannot exceed 32 characters.
  2. Select Add to save the policy.
    
    The Basic window opens.
  3. Configure the BLE Data Export policy in accordance with the instructions in the steps in this procedure.
In the REST field, enter the URL of the external, third-party server to which you want to send the RSSI feed.
After you have completed configuring the settings, choose from the following actions:
1. Select Revert to restore default settings or restore the last saved settings.
  
  Note
  You cannot restore default settings after applying or saving changes.
2. Select Apply to commit the configured settings.
  
  Note
  This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.
3. Select Save to commit and save the configured settings.
  
  Note
  
  If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.

Next, apply the policy to the Site (RF Domain). See Configure Site Policies for instructions.
