I've been looking at how to replicate our existing reporting/analytics without polling using getOrganizationDevicesStatuses but it's not straightforward...   The replacements don't include publicIP, which is useful for simply inferring whether it's a single device outage, or one where a device/WAN/other failure is taking out multiple devices.   I don't see another simple way to get the publicIP, calls that get it for MX/Z are no use as not all devices are behind an MX/Z.   Am I missing an easy way to get publicIP? If not, can it be added at least to the replacement operation getOrganizationDevicesAvailabilities it shouldn't break anything.   Also, one of our main use cases is contractual SLA analysis/reporting, which typically is calendar month, sometimes also by local timezone.   I'd certainly like to move from our current polling approach to a monthly one, but for that a lookback of at least a couple of days more than 31 days is needed to allow for timezones and any transient problems that delay colection, otherwise we lose data.    The https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-organization-devices-availabilities-change-history/ documentation says has a maximum lookback of 2678400, exactly 31 x 24 x 60 x 60, meaning that unless we ran it at 235959 on the last day of the month for each timezone, it's possible to lose visibility.   In practice we run 'monthly' data gathering early UTC on the 2nd of the following month, simply allowing for where we need to report by local timezone and to giving some buffer in case of a problem.   The 'easy' way out would be to run it daily instead of monthly, but IMHO it'd be better if this and other calls with one-month lookback hard limits were extended by a couple of days to fit better with the common customer desire to have monthly reports and the need for a bit of contingency 😀 ...

As soon as i make the get network APi call, it seems that its ready, however from the result that the API provides theres no status field, that tells you if its ready or not.  If i get a valid response from the get network api does this mean that it is ready?   I've wrapped it in a try except, but as it turns out i'm not getting a failure.. If i go create nework, then claim device it always fails..  but  create network,  get network, claim device. well that works. It woudl be nice if there was a status property ... View more

I'm not sure how closely those numbers should align, because I'm not familiar with the methods that produce the data. But it is something that you can review with Support, if you're interested.   If you're comparing API with GUI, then you'll need to make sure that you're using the same timespan controls on the API as on the GUI, and it's possible that you'll need to map timezones if you want them to line up (API uses UTC, org-wide data in GUI typically uses UTC, network-specific data in GUI often uses the network's configured timezone). ...

This was the response we got: "In high-density environments with numerous gateways, sensors may frequently switch between them. This is expected behaviour, though future updates are expected to improve it. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent this behavior at the moment"   Our issue isn't gaps in data though, but constant alerts that the sensors aren't connecting to access points far away from them even though they have at least 1 acceptable connection.  We have mt10s and mt12s very close to each other and only have this issue with the MT 12s. MT 12:   MT 10:     Both are showing yellow connections with not the greatest RSSI but we have only seen the MT12s alert not the MT 10s.   Or maybe I'm missing something and just need to move the MT12s. ...

Do bear in mind that 'read-only' access is not totally read-only - a read-only account still allows port-cycling and cable-test operations to be performed on switch ports.   For instance, cycling a port will result in downstream devices will losing connectivity and PoE.   We had a customer find this out the hard way.   I.e. you still need to be careful about granting read-only permission and caution users about these operations. ...

The first and third look ok, the middle one is no good as the serial numbers aren't a positional parameter, they're a keyword argument.   Any chance you fell foul of the special rate limit on the endpoint? "This operation can be used up to ten times within a single five minute window."   Otherwise, maybe it's just another transient weirdness 😀 ...

getOrganizations is open to every user to find out what they have some degree of access to.   Whereas getOrganizationSaml targets a specific org ID, so you need to have org access to use it.   If you have readonly access, you can only GET.   If you have read-write, you can use all request types, PUT, POST etc.   See... https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Other_Topics/Cisco_Meraki_Dashboard_API   ...

Thanks Everyone for helping and attempting to resolve this. None of the suggestions didn't allow me to get a proper network id.   @John_on_API get organization devices still gives L_... network for each device, regardless of any filtering by type, serial or other. Get Network devices (/networks/:networkId/devices) gives network Id that I sent... If I call it with L_... I get L_..., if I call with N_... I get N_...   We didn't resolve the issue, and decided to go a different route. We'll instruct clients to change the MQTT topic in the configuration to a fixed generated uuid from our side, so that we can map network responses like that. Not the best solution, as it only allows for one network, but good enough for first version.   ... View more
