Feature Announcements

This update to the role-based camera permissions in the dashboard allows for SAML users to have multiple camera roles applied.

With the MX16 firmware release, NBAR will be available for full-stack enablement! 🚀

Two exciting new features now available on the Meraki dashboard for MT!

• Time delay alerting
• Custom time range for viewing data

New updates are designed to make it easier to identify underperforming access points, solve sticky client issues more quickly, and trigger alerts by implementing anomaly detection by using Meraki machine learning models. 

The Meraki Dashboard now provides the ability to schedule environmental alerts to only send during specific time periods and an updated alert profile menu makes it easier to customize alert conditions. 

Meraki Insight will now have alerts configurable for WAN and VoIP by navigating to the Insight → Configure → Alerts tab

The alerts management landing page will give a quick overview of alerts being managed and the status of each alert.

An update to the Meraki Mobile App is now available! This update includes a smattering of new features, ranging from MV Historical video to LLDP / CDP information of the upstream device on your Meraki hardware, as well as a wide assortment of bug fixes!

Cross Organizational MAC search is live for all customers.  This functionality allows for customers to search across multiple organizations for a full MAC address.

The video access page now includes a section for external live stream users. For each user that was shared a live stream link, the list includes their email, name, description, link expiration and the cameras they were given access to.

"Custom Time range" in MI is now available on WAN, Web, and VoIP health making SD-WAN troubleshooting simple and granular.

Introducing the ServiceNow Service Graph Connector for Meraki!

Easily import Meraki devices into the ServiceNow database and generate “Incidents” when Meraki sends alerts.

The solution is free and extendable with the goal of simplifying network management.

There is a new image quality option for MV32: 2058x2058 resolution at 1Mbps bitrate and 8fps. This new 2058x2058 option could provides organizations with a higher level of detail (due to increased pixel count), while still maximizing retention due to the lower bitrate. This option will also be compatible with Cloud Archive. For more information on image quality on MV32, please see the Image Quality on the MV32 article in documentation.

Easily exclude business-critical applications from Meraki Auto VPN tunnels for direct Internet access.

MV cameras now support role-based camera permissions for SAML/SSO. This allows organizations to better scale operations by managing individual permissions in one place, outside of the dashboard.

Once configured, this allows camera users to be able to log in the dashboard through the Meraki application within your identity provider. 

Low-latency HLS (LHLS) is now available for second generation MV smart cameras. LHLS reduces the delay in live streaming caused by the buffering period with HLS. Using LHLS, the LAN direct stream has a delay of less than 2 seconds. 

Wireless Health analytics have been moved to Access points page to streamline user experience.

We added new flexible sponsorship duration options!

Auto-tags for Systems Manager devices based on their method of enrollment are now available in Dashboard. This awesome new feature allows you to scope your settings, profiles, and apps based on the type of enrollment used on a device.

SecureX Sign-On now available, allowing easy access to Cisco security products with one set of credentials from any device. Read more for information about how to enable and use this new feature!

Second generation MV smart cameras now support a new experimental object detection model in addition to the default model. 

A new advanced analytics debug mode is available for second generation MV smart cameras with MV sense enabled. This allows users to troubleshoot the object detection data used via MQTT or dashboard API calls in third-party applications.

You can now customize the Systems Manager Self-Service Portal with a fresh look that matches your company's branding, including a logo and color accents! 

This cool new feature available now in Systems Manager > Configure > General in your Dashboard.

Android zero-touch is now available in Systems Manager!

Zero-touch enrollment is a streamlined way to automatically enroll supported devices on Android 8.0+ into Systems Manager during device setup.

An all new beta version of the Meraki App is available. This update reflects a complete overhaul of our existing iOS and Android apps to provide a modern mobile experience and complimentary dashboard experience.

Enhancements in Wireless Health, Alert Settings, VPN, Cameras, Clients, Switch ports, and VLANs! 

There are two new small changes to the dashboard packet capture tool.

• Packet captures will no longer default to being named "packet_capture.pcap". They will instead follow the following format (and can still be modified):
  [NetworkName]_[Model][DeviceName]_IF-[Interface].pcap

• The tool will default to "Download .pcap file" rather than "View output below"

Three change have been added to the dashboard for helping to troubleshoot, configure and keep track of users with Client VPN.

• On the Network-wide > Clients page, the search filter can now filter for Client VPN users
• The Client VPN page now has an FAQs tab with common troubleshooting issues and recommendations, as well as links to additional help.
• The Client VPN page now has descriptions of the configuration components, as well as link to additional information.

Video access logs now include external stream sharing links. The access log tracks when generated, viewed, extended or disabled.

• The "Recipient" column indicates the external email the link was shared to.
• The "User" column will be blank for entries pertaining to viewing the external link since these are non-Dashboard viewers.

When selecting an individual camera name from a video wall while viewing historical video, the timestamp from the video wall will carry over to video feed from the selected camera.

More information on viewing video can be found in our documentation on Viewing MV Video.

Video wall modifications are now displayed on the change log. Any action to add, delete or edit the video wall layouts are indicated on the organization change log.
