Use Cases

Daily Inventory Check

# Quick overview of device distribution
netapi ise dc profiler

Dashboard Integration

# JSON for Grafana, monitoring scripts
netapi ise dc --format json profiler | jq '.[] | {policy, count}'

Track Unknown Devices

# How many unknowns?
netapi ise dc --format json profiler | jq '.[] | select(.policy == "Unknown") | .count'

Find All Policies with Devices

# List just policy names that have endpoints
netapi ise dc --format json profiler | jq -r '.[].policy'

Compare Over Time

# Save snapshot for comparison
netapi ise dc --format json profiler > ~/profiler-$(date +%F).json

# Compare with yesterday
diff <(jq -S . ~/profiler-yesterday.json) <(jq -S . ~/profiler-$(date +%F).json)

Profiler Policies vs Device Types

Command Returns

dc profiler

ISE profiler policy names (Windows10-Workstation, Cisco-IP-Phone-79xx, etc.)

dc device-types

Device type categories (Workstation, Phone, Printer, etc.)

Profiler policies are more specific; device types are broader categories.
