Error - builtins.TypeError: Object of type set is not JSON serializable

[VictorTJ]

I'm getting an error when running this code.  while trying to update the network syslog server values.  It fails when it tries to run the update = dashboard.networks.updateNetworkSyslogServers(network_id, servers) line. below is the script I'm tying to run. 

thanks for your help in advance

# File will update a syslog server in networks based on county tag

import meraki

# Set Meraki variables
api_key = '6bec40cf957de430a6f1f2baa056b99a4fac9ea0' # Public Sandbox

syslog_server = '10.178.207.68' # Ashburn Syslog server

# sets what networks to update by the country tag
country_tag = 'Country-Lab-US'

# Sets the syslog server values
servers = [{'host': {syslog_server}, 'port': 513, 'roles': ['Flows', 'Security events']}]

network_loop = 0

dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(api_key)

all_networks = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationNetworks(organization_id)

while network_loop < len(all_networks):
if country_tag in all_networks[network_loop]["tags"]:
network_id = all_networks[network_loop]['id']
response = dashboard.networks.updateNetworkSyslogServers(network_id, servers)
print(f' The network ID is {network_id} and country tag is {all_networks[network_loop]["tags"]}')
network_loop +=1
else:
print('nothing was updated')
network_loop +=1

Try:

servers = [{'host': syslog_server, 'port': 513, 'roles': ['Flows', 'Security events']}]

Thanks for that.  Now I'm getting

meraki.exceptions.APIError: networks, updateNetworkSyslogServers - 400 Bad Request, {'errors': ['Please select at least one valid role for 10.178.207.68 513']}

Setup the Dashboard just how you want it.  Then use the API to request the config and look at the parameters returned, and then put them into your code.

I figured out what it was.  I was trying to set the security event on networks that didn't have an MX in it.
