As we reach the first big milestone in our journey to build a better experience for alert management, we are excited to share multiple features we have launched to date.  

At the beginning of February, we made the Organization Alerts page generally available. This page is one of the most requested alerting features by users and an extension of the Alert Hub. It can be found under the Organization tab:

<< As of Sep 12th, 2024, CS17 has reached the stable release candidate (RC) stage! >>

Hello, Meraki API Community!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new feature in the Meraki Dashboard API: Callbacks.

WHAT ARE CALLBACKS?

Callbacks are a modern solution for times when you find yourself wondering about the status of your long running API tasks. They allow you to initiate a process, such as pinging a device or executing a phased deployment, and then step back. No more pondering "where you are and what you do" – the callback will bring the answers to you.

HOW DO CALLBACKS WORK?

Initiate an API call with a callback, and when it’s time for your network to respond, it's as if it’s saying, "Hello, is it me you're looking for?" You receive a notification at your specified webhook URL once the operation is completed, detailed with the operation’s status and results. This means real-time updates without the constant need to query the API.

Dashboard UI for the API

We are thrilled to introduce a new page in the Meraki Dashboard dedicated solely to API and Webhook management. Navigate to Organization → Configure → API & Webhooks to explore the new features designed to simplify your developer experience.

Exciting news for you all as we announce the addition of new solutions from our amazing ecosystem partner - Boundless Digital! At Cisco Meraki, we are always striving to improve the power of our network management capabilities and with our partnership with Boundless Digital we are doing just that.

MT sensor data is officially available via API or MQTT telemetry stream, making it easier than ever for Meraki customers and partners to manage sensor data at scale or build custom business solutions.

Additional Shared Devices features and support, Windows Trusted Access beta, Android Google Play Store beta app update channel, API improvements, reminder about new operating systems support, and more!

 New endpoints have been launched to track Application and Network health with Meraki insights:

1. List all insight tracked applications : GET/organizations/{organization_id}/insight/applications

2. Application health by time : GET/networks/{network_id}/insight/applications/{application_id}/healthByTime

3. The uplink loss percentage and latency in milliseconds, and goodput in kilobits per second for a wired network device.: GET/devices/{serial}/lossAndLatencyHistory

What are the firmware management endpoints?

These firmware management endpoints are network level endpoints that allow you to get, set or rollback firmware.  This should allow an admin to fully manage firmware at a network level via API.
