AP Performance logs beyond 30 days

[Lonestarr_007]

I am wanting to see if I can get AP performance stats beyond 30 days.  When I go to Wireless > Access Points > Select the AP > Performance tab, it shows a lot of great information, exactly what I am looking for.  But Meraki only stores this info online for 30 days, and I would like to see the data for 1 year.  I am at a university so different times of the year have different client counts, bandwidth usage, etc. and I would like to be able to see long-term trends for specific locations on specific AP's.  I've read that you can export NetFlow, but that option does not seem to be present in my dashboard; from what I can tell it's available on MX and some MS devices, but we only have MR wireless devices.

Is there some other way to export the data and view it elsewhere?  The primary things I am wanting to track are client counts and throughput usage.

The dashboard doesn't store beyond 30 days. You would have to pull the data yourself and store.
Here are APIs that would get some if  not all of that:

As far as I know Meraki does not collect data longer than 30 days. Netflow is kind of a PITA to set up but would work for your use case.

There are a few API operations in beta that could help but you would have to build something to analyze that data:

getDeviceWirelessHealthScores

getNetworkWirelessDeviceHealthScores

For client count information you could utilize

getNetworkWirelessClientCountHistory

Dashboard Data Availability provides information about customer data stored by the dashboard and the duration for which that data is available in the dashboard (for your consideration).

You could write this functionality yourself to save the performance data every 30 days with Python and the Meraki API and build up the dataset you need.
