Being alerted when primary or secondary WAN's experience link loss? Using API? Postman?

Hello good people,

 

I manage many Meraki MX and Z3 networks (that contain primary and secondary circuits with load balancing and AutoVpn enabled); And I respond to issues via user complaints, email alerts, webhooks, network browsing, etc.  One issue I've come across is WAN links will experience 50%-100% link loss, won't show as 'failed' in the dashboard, so it doesn't trigger an alert.  So the link will be unusable, not showing as down/failed and this is a problem I'm 100% re-active to.  I want to get in front of this kind of issue.

 

I've used Postman's 'getOrganizationDevicesUplinksLossAndLatency' API requests that'll show 'lookback' times up to 60 days and down to 2 minutes.  Has anyone discovered a clever solution to be notified when WAN link loss is above 'X'% or similar?  The best I could come up with is sending scheduled 'getOrganizationDevicesUplinksLossAndLatency' API request and parsing the JSON responses using JSONata.  

 

Any thoughts?  Are you having this issue and found a solution that you can share?  

 

Thanks in advance for your responses!

You can achieve it with Zabbix.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.
