Several of our WiFi networks are switching from using PRIME to using Meraki.
We have several processes that analyze the data from PRIME, and so we would like to replicate the data we are getting from PRIME as closely as possible from Meraki. Part of the issue is that the data from PRIME is session data, while what we can get from Meraki is event data.
The PRIME data we used to get contains:
- User id
- Internal IP of client
- MAC address of client
- Session start time
- Session end time
- The client device vendor
- The wireless access point
- The SSID
- The SSID profile
- The VLAN
- The session duration
- The average throughput for the session
- The SNR
- The RSSI
- The client device type
Looking through what is available in Meraki, coming close to this will involve dealing with event logs (either via syslog or the api) and several other API endpoints (network clients, client usage history, signal quality history, etc.), and then figuring out how to tie everything together.
Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to get session data from Meraki that contains most of the information we get from PRIME without having to build it from scratch?
If not, has anyone done something like this and have any suggestions about how to do this or problems to watch out for?
Thanks,
Louis
