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.

When you log into the Meraki dashboard, you’ll now have the option to turn on colorblind assist mode across the entire dashboard. In this mode, green, yellow and red have been replaced with blue, orange and a new hue of red. 

MS16 Stable is available! 

Upgrade to this new version for remote network traffic analysis flow improvement and network security enhancement. We encourage you to upgrade to the latest software release and provide us with your feedback.  

How to upgrade

Head on over to the firmware management page to schedule your upgrades now.  Check out the article in Documentation for step-by-step instructions. 

Don’t forget to use our new staged upgrades and firmware upgrade status features to help you save time and effort. You can schedule, stage, or sequence update groups ahead of time and reuse these groups.

We are excited to announce a new smart alert - MAC flap anomaly. Sometimes, MAC flap detection events can become noisy due to wireless roaming, which is expected. Due to this noise, it is hard to tell which events are expected versus unexpected. To solve this problem, Cisco Meraki has built this smart alert to help detect these unexpected events more accurately.

This benefits network administrators who enabled or would like to enable the switch port schedule feature to power off Meraki APs to save energy and do not wish to get notified for AP up and down alerts.
