API get_network_events doesn't filter events like it should

[ccicali]

Hello guys,

i'm try to implement the get_network_events API, using parameter:

included_event_types = ['client_vpn_connect','client_vpn_disconnect']

but the results of the call includes all events....anyone is using this API? Any hint?

Below my code (i removed x_cisco_meraki_api_key and network_id values)

Spoiler

from meraki_sdk.meraki_sdk_client import MerakiSdkClient

from meraki_sdk.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

x_cisco_meraki_api_key = ''

networkId = ''

client = MerakiSdkClient(x_cisco_meraki_api_key)

events_controller = client.events

collect = {}

collect['network_id'] = networkId

product_type = 'appliance'

collect['product_type'] = product_type

included_event_types = ['client_vpn_connect','client_vpn_disconnect']

collect['included_event_types[]'] = included_event_types

try:

    result = events_controller.get_network_events(collect)

    print(result)

except APIException as e:

    print(e)

Hey ccicali!

We are moving from the old Python SDK to the new Python SDK. Originally, we outsourced the SDK creation, but found bugs were introduced and getting changes implemented took ages. So we brought it back in-house, and are about to make the official switch over (which will happen with the documentation,  very soon).

We've been advertising it for a while, but just in case, the link is here: https://github.com/meraki/dashboard-api-python

More info/video here: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/17628/381496

It will make it easier as there is less modules to import; and also we manage it ourselves, much easier/agile to make changes and fix issues. The old version is not going to be maintained going forward, so the new SDK is the one to move to.

The first thing I would try is with the new SDK, and see if this fixes your issue, if not - back to the drawing board! Let us know how it goes.

Cheers!
