Using API to retreive uplink statistics

[lpopejoy]

I would like to be able to query the MX to retreive packet loss for the past 60 min for an appliance.  Somehow, we need to be able to be alerted if an MX is experiencing higher than normal packet loss.  There is no built in alerting for this, thus the reason I'm considering the API.  However, none of the API endpoints appear to return this data.

Here's the current API documentation for uplink info:  https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs#return-the-uplink-information-for-a-device

Take a look at these two endpoints, they're purpose built for your use case. Let us know if you have any feedback!

Hi,

Did you ever find a solution to your need to report / alert on MX device uplink packet loss? 

Thanks.
