How to see the if there is any network congestion or overload traffic in meraki dashboard in a stacked switch or we have to go to individual stack members ?

Kind of a big deal

You can use Traffic Analysis, which gives you detailed insights into the types of traffic on your network, helping you identify any congestion or unusual traffic patterns.

Another way is to enable Alerts and Notifications that may indicate high utilization or errors on your switches.

Finally, Packet Capture can help you analyze traffic on specific ports or across the entire stack.

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

Please feel free to navigate to Organization > Summary Report tab for more details on network/client usage.

 

You can also explore Network-wide > Traffic analytics page.

If you can narrow down the problem to a particular switch or port, there are packet statistics:

This can tell you which ports are seeing the most traffic, and you can also compare sent/received against other switches/ports.
