Meraki to monitor 3rd-party devices

[cisco486018]

Hi, I have an opportunity to sell Meraki solutions (AP, and Switches) into a customer deployment.. The issue is this is a brownfield setup. Customer currently have router and firewall solutions from other vendors. Customer wants a centralised cloud-based monitoring solution for all devices deployed. Routers and firewalls all support snmp and syslogs. I couldn't find any Meraki documents that suggest monitoring of 3rd-party networking devices. Can anyone advise if Meraki can support monitoring of 3rd-party networking devices on the Meraki Dashboard? Thanks

No, the dashboard has no insight into the 3rd-party products. But you can use one monitoring instance to monitor both the old equipment and the Meraki devices.

Hi Karstenl,

Thanks for the quick reply. Can help elaborate the monitoring instance you mention? How does it work?

Thanks

That is anything of your choice. Nagios, CheckMK, the market is full of SNMP monitoring solutions.
