We are currently round-robining 2400 networks for a customer, querying ALL network events (not just the bad ones). We would like to significantly reduce the load that we put on the API. Please could we have a call (e.g.): /organisation/{organisationId}/events ... that returns the equivalent of the following, but for all networks: /networks/{networkId}/events

Since I wrote this, Meraki have fixed a bug. The same POST now complains: "Body Liquid error: undefined variable version" Removing the final ",\n \"version\": \"{{version}}" from the post body then works.

I'm trying to create a custom Config Template Webhook Payload Template. I'm sending the following body to: POST {{meraki_url}}/networks/{{meraki_configTemplate_id}}/webhooks/payloadTemplates ...but am getting "403 Forbidden". Sending bad body content results in 400, so I think that what I have below is OK. Questions: Is it OK to add a custom Config Template Webhook Payload Template to a Config Template? OK, so what am I doing wrong?! Body: { "name": "AlertMagic", "headers": "{\n \"Authorization\": \"Bearer {{sharedSecret}}\"\n}", "body": "{\n \"sourceSystem\": \"meraki\",\n \"alertData\": {{ alertData | jsonify }},\n \"alertId\": \"{{alertId}}\",\n \"alertLevel\": \"{{alertLevel}}\",\n \"alertType\": \"{{alertType}}\",\n \"alertTypeId\": \"{{alertTypeId}}\",\n \"deviceMac\": \"{{deviceMac}}\",\n \"deviceModel\": \"{{deviceModel}}\",\n \"deviceName\": \"{{deviceName}}\",\n \"deviceSerial\": \"{{deviceSerial}}\",\n \"deviceTags\": {{deviceTags | jsonify }},\n \"deviceUrl\": \"{{deviceUrl}}\",\n \"networkId\": \"\",\n \"networkName\": \"{{networkName}}\",\n \"networkTags\": {{networkTags | jsonify }},\n \"networkUrl\": \"{{networkUrl}}\",\n \"occurredAt\": \"{{occurredAt}}\",\n \"organizationId\": \"{{organizationId}}\",\n \"organizationName\": \"{{organizationName}}\",\n \"organizationUrl\": \"{{organizationUrl}}\",\n \"sentAt\": \"{{sentAt}}\",\n \"version\": \"{{version}}\"\n}" }

In the UI: Config Template | Security & SD-WAN | Routing | Subnets | Add VLAN | Subnet UI Setting the subnet mask for a 10.0.0.0 VLAN has a bad UI issue. The user will set the subnet mask THEN the IP address (because data entry is left to right). However, setting the IP address to a 10.x.x.x address UNSETs the value in the subnet mask back to /10. The user must then RE-ENTER the subnet mask. This is counter-intuitive and not easy to spot. Fix needed.

Accepted as solution: "the documentation is way too vague and doesn't contain the right info or correct info." ...as well as providing a solution to the specific nightmare I was suffering! Thanks, @RaphaelL 🙂

You can't (I also need this). You just have to do an initial query (say, a page of 100 items) and then the response will give you the information you need to page backwards through the events until they have sent you too many. It seems obvious that the sensible thing would be to add event time range support. It's a pity that there's no way here to submit a feature request to Meraki.

Hi @RaphaelL , That's the one. It seems that this cannot be set via the API?

On the specific endpoint, I'm guessing that the API returns values referenced here: https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Meraki_Health_Overview However, the point remains - the V1 documentation is VERY poor when it comes to documenting return classes.

The V1 return values are simply not documented. As an example, the endpoint /networks/{networkId}/wireless/connectionStats returns an object: { "assoc": 0, "auth": 0, "dhcp": 0, "dns": 0, "success": 0 } Documentation: "Description: Aggregated connectivity info for this network" King George: "Awesome. Wow." Surely this is documented properly somewhere?

It can be done in the UI. I see no way to do it in the API. Any thoughts?

The swagger schema definition here is unhelpfully "object": https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-health-alerts I can see a value of "warning" in one of the dashboards I have access to, but it would be good to get a definitive list.

Yes, we have tried this and the POST and PUT both require appliance IP and subnet and ignore cidr and mask. The API is deficient.

Thanks - we will chase the various accounts teams. I take your point about Config Templates not serving much of a purpose on a fully-orchestrated system. However, as we migrate to full orchestration and with users still performing some manual steps in the UI, Config Templates are a reality and we need to automate their creation. Thanks for your help so far - I will leave this as "unresolved" until the API endpoints are added.

Understood. What percentage coverage would you say exists today? This is core to a project affecting large customer (3000+ device) deployments. How do we get a prioritized feature request in?

We have a requirement to automate the creation of the Template VLAN configs for very large networks. The API should be able to do everything that you can do in the UI. I know that Meraki wouldn't want Ansible to include a "ask a human to do these 100 steps" task! And I KNOW the right answer isn't to screen scrape the UI. I've been there circa 1998 and I don't want to go back.

I think that the ability to set a Configuration Template VLAN unique subnetted VLAN using cidr and mask is missing from the API. Please can anyone provide an example of how this is done?

There are no regulations that relate to aggregated network traffic monitoring, otherwise companies like SolarWinds, LogicMonitor, ScienceLogic, DataDog etc. would all be out of business! Unfortunately, without longer data retention times, to report such data, all MSPs will have to purchase a separate solution, such as the above. With better data retention times for aggregated data only, the need for such a solution will be reduced.

A typical reporting scenario is to run a report covering the previous calendar month. Meraki's API contains too little history to support this common use case. For example: https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/897512/SzYXYfmJ#6cd07712-f30e-49ac-ab25-2eaf80e1f9d0 Here we can see that only 31 days of history are permitted, making it impossible to query "previous calendar month" unless the call is perfectly timed for midnight on the 1st of the month (which it can never be, particularly if a sequence of API calls are required). The Meraki API should support the retrieval of "December" data in any of the 31 days of January. For this reason, historic data should be maintained for a minimum of 62 days. Please extend the storage period accordingly.

@chengineer , Do you mean the networks of an organization? /organizations/{organizationId}/networks ? This returns (e.g.) the following: [ { "id": "L_123456", "organizationId": "2930418", "name": "Long Island Office", "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles", "tags": [ "tag1", "tag2" ], "productTypes": [ "appliance", "switch", "wireless" ], "enrollmentString": "long-island-office" } ] Please point out which of these returned fields represents the Configuration Template associated with "Long Island Office"? As far as I can see, this does NOT contain information about the associated Configuration Template.

This "solution" is incorrect. There is NO WAY to achieve what OP is asking for. The API is broken in two places: Networks should return the currently-bound configuration template, e.g. as a "configurationTemplate" field, but doesn't (https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network) There should be a new endpoint: /organizations/{organizationId}/configTemplates/{configTemplateId}/networkbindings Ideally, these fixes should be implemented in both v0 and v1.
