Bandwidth usage longer than 30 days

[TroyV]

I am looking to see if I can get a bandwidth usage for longer than 30 days. When I go to Network-Wide>Clients, there is a graph that shows which is the perfect view for what I am looking for, however, this only goes up to 30 days. Wanted to see if there is a way to get a 6 month or year view of that graph. I have been seeing some users have setup API reporting, which I am very new to and unsure of the process and on which platforms this works best on. Any direction/documentation would be more than helpful, thank you.

Meraki doesn't maintain data beyond 30 days.

You would have to collect the raw data yourself and then process it.  A NetFlow collector (which you would need to find and install) would be the best approach:

It's quite a bit of work though ...

Additionally, a Flow based solution (e.g. Cisco Secure Network Analytics) would strengthen your security posture up a lot. 😎
