Network - Wide Alert - Network usage exceeds X GB in X mins

Hi,

 

This alert does not differentiate between the LAN & WAN traffic. We have 3 internal userful servers for NOC monitoring which continuously transfers data between each other. We have configured these devices on Guest VLAN where Meraki itself is the DHCP server. Now as soon as i enabled this alert this keeps notifiying me that the usage has exceeded. But what i am looking for is a notification where the WAN interface of MX is involved & the traffic going out of WAN interfaces. If this alert includes both LAN & WAN traffic then the sole purpose is defeated as this will result in false alerts. However it may be useful as the CPU usage of MX might spike if LAN environment is used so much.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !!

 

Let me know if you need any other details.

Kind of a big deal

Good point, there doesn't seem to be a way to whitelist certain systems. And indeed, it would be nice if you could limit the scope to WAN. Make a wish ;)!
