Can I use Uplink statistics on a LAN device?

[Barzyp]

By default it's set to 8.8.8.8

Can I add a LAN device to monitor for packet loss / latency in the same way?

No.

Uplink Statistics

Clicking the Add Your Destination option allows you to add a custom destination for the MX to continually test ICMP connectivity for monitoring latency and packet loss. These destinations cannot be private addresses across VPN tunnels and must be reachable through the WAN interface of the MX. Also, they must respond to ICMP traffic. It is good practice to include the MX's default gateway for monitoring the directly connected link. The results for these tests will be visible at Security & SD-WAN > Monitor > Appliance status > Uplink > Historical data. Hostnames/FQDNs are not supported for uplink statistics monitoring.

MXs and Zs with integrated cellular will not send ICMP Uplink Statistic tests through their cellular interface. This is designed to help reduce the amount of traffic that is sent out of these uplinks. If there is a requirement to send ICMP tests for Uplink Statistics please reach out to Meraki Support to have this functionality enabled. Please note only tests to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) will be sent and not to any other Uplink Statistic destinations.

SD-WAN and Traffic Shaping

As an alternate option (if interested), you can go to Security & SD-WAN > Monitor > Appliance Status and select the "tools" tab at the top of the page to test packet loss and latency for LAN devices.

Select the source IP Address (whatever VLAN you are wanting to test from)

Then provide the IP address of the device you want to look at the stats for latency/packet loss.

Obviously this would be a short term test (not like the WAN Uplink statistics that runs in the background all of the time) but would give you indication of how a specific IP address is performing.
