Hi Jeff!

 

Thank you for your kind words. It's feedback that's been fueling the development over the years. :)

 

Gathering statistics is a different beast altogether. BigIPReport is a 100% clientside application (except the generation). Adding a database would be possible, but would make the installation much harder. Of course, I could utilize flat files for statistics, but that would make large installations either take way to long to generate, or to load depending on if the flat files would be processed client side or during the report generation.

 

However, I recently did a similar exercise with both SSLv3 and TLS1.0 so this might help you. Created a blog post about it here:

It's not 100% of the answer, but if you have some kind of infrastructure in place for log management and visualization you will find that this is a piece of cake.
