Packet Loss Alert

Hello,

I'm looking to find out if there's a way to set up an email alert for when one of my connections experiences a specified level of packet loss. Additionally, I want it to automatically switch to the secondary connection once that packet loss threshold is reached!

Thanks!

For vpn traffic you can set sdwan policies

You can set up a alert if you have Meraki Insight or Sdwan+ license.

For  failover of internet traffic based on specific packet loss /latency /jitter you would also need sdwan+ lic

If you are looking for just packet loss / latency across on the WAN1/WAN2 uplinks and then switching over the WAN uplink. You could implement the following:

Get the uplink loss and latency either at device level or org level and do it at a regular interval of your choice and when it breaches then you can create an email alert out.

Get Device Loss And Latency History - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki Developer Hub

 

Based on what your criteria is to swap the links, you could change the primary uplink via

This would all need some sort of script. 

Otherwise as @ww  mentioned that would be the way to go.

Hope I could provide some better insight as well as I have tested something similar.
