WAN uptime monitoring

[Messy]

Hello,

I've been asked if I can get WAN uptime stats for all our networks.

Ideally, get historical data, but if that's not possible, at least setup something to record live info so we have data going forward.

I cant find any endpoints that look like they have what i need. Am I missing one?

thanks

These two:

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-organization-uplinks-statuses/

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-device-loss-and-latency-history/

would be what I think you would want. Mostly the first, but the second may provide additional data you want.

sry only just saw your reply.

for this one i would have to constantly poll every network every minute for ever 
Get Organization Uplinks Statuses - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki Developer Hub

Get Device Loss And Latency History - Meraki Dashboard API v1 - Cisco Meraki Developer Hub
this one might be doable, but id have to call with a 1 min resolution which will return a huge amount which i guess isnt an issue.
then i would have to compare the loss % from both mx devices at each time interval to see if there was a downtime or not (both mx's down)

might have to give it a go as dont see another option

Yeah, it's not the easiest thing to do yourself. Depending on the size of your deployment there may be third party tools like the other commenter posted about that could do it more cost effectively.

I just found this - 
/networks/{networkId}/insight/applications/{applicationId}/healthByTime

[ { "startTs": "2018-02-11T00:00:00Z",

"endTs": "2018-05-12T00:00:00Z",

"wanGoodput": 20000000,

"lanGoodput": 100000000,

"wanLatencyMs": 10.1,

"lanLatencyMs": 3.2,

"wanLossPercent": 0.2,

"lanLossPercent": 0,

"responseDuration": 210,

"sent": 1000,

"recv": 5000,

"numClients": 2 } ]

In theory i could call this for a certain time resolution and then look at the wan loss % to decide if it was up or down. Seems like a very clunky way of doing it tho 😕 

going to be a metric crap-ton of calls

Yes it's a lot of calls and it quite a lot of work to sort the data out and report on it cleanly. This is where I'm going to plug the Meraki Marketplace as there are a number of us Ecosystem partners who can do this for you in a matter on minutes:

on further investigation, the above idea sucks.

I just noticed this in the dashboard...

so downtime metric DOES exist!! and there even is a download button to get the info in a csv....if I could just download those programmatically that would be great.

I cant find a relevant api endpoint tho 😞
