NAT translations and Connections count on MX, how to?

[MSakr]

Hi Subject matter experts!

Is there a way to see the total number of NAT translations and connections count on a Meraki MX? With other Cisco products I recall we had this option..

Thanks

There is no way to see this information.

Hi @MSakr , unfortunately there is no way of getting this information from the MX.  Also ran through the API's and there's nothing of note that could help either.

Going sideways, you could reconstruct the current flow concept using netflow analysis:
https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Monitoring_and_Reporting/NetFlow_Overview

Syslog could also be used for a poor man's version.

Hi @PhilipDAth 

Thanks for the info, too bad it doesn't show.. I tried also to get an idea of the connections via the wan captured pcap statistics, but it won't be way close to what is needed...

I configured Netflow, need to see why it is not showing all the traffic, sum in Netflow doesn't reflect what I see on the Wan uplink live data chart.. using ofc NF v 9

Hi
Sad to see that Meraki does not have such a much needed dashboard element, also nothing about CPU and memory usage.. only if I recall CPU usage can be seen in reports...

HI

I would be interested to see if anyone applied anything practical..
