Hi connections,
I am new to this community.
My company is building a managed service based on the building meraki dashboard monitoring/alerting features.
After reading the docos, it seems that the alert only supports "The primary uplink status changes".
How do can the system alert me if the secondary/standby link goes down?
If anyone has scripts plz share me on durgaprasad@redhut.tech
Thanks in advance

On the dashboard, go to a network with MXs in and on one of the monitoring screens there should be a make a wish button at the bottom. Explain why you want secondary WAN alerts (via the API) and it goes to Meraki product management.
No, on the dashboard for Meraki click on the button shown below:
I would look to use the Dashboard API.
A single call on the Organization will give you the status of the uplinks for all the MXs therein.

If you prefer to target specific devices, try this call as a starting point: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-device-loss-and-latency-history
Hey @Prasadk,
Sadly there is no way to receive alerts from Meraki immediately once the link goes down, however an alternate monitoring implmentation could be the following:
What you would need to do is
- Use the API to get a list of all organisations within your Dashboard
- Get a list of all inventory within that organisation - Filter out for MX,Z1,Z3 devices and store into a list
- Iterate over the list of the filtered devices - and get the Uplink info for WAN1 and WAN2 keys
- Write the details to a CSV/XLS file
Rerun the program again after 2hrs/4hrs/24hrs (your choice) , Compare the new run file with the old file and if any changes, output that to an Email or whatever you wish to do to process that.
This is how I would have done it. Hope this helps. You can find the relevant API calls in the Documentation of the Python SDK.
