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 Organization Devices Uplinks Loss And Latency - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki Developer...

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 
Update Network Appliance Traffic Shaping Uplink Selection - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki D...


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.
