You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and other network monitoring tools. To retrieve OIDs for a specific device using SNMPwalk, you can access Meraki’s MIB files from the dashboard under Organization > Configure > Settings > SNMP. Running an SNMP walk command such as snmpwalk -v2c -c [community_string] [device_ip] can help you fetch supported OIDs. For SNMP operations, tools like Net-SNMP, SNMP Tester, and platforms like Zabbix or SolarWinds can automate polling and monitoring. If you need to identify custom OIDs, reviewing Meraki’s SNMP documentation or engaging in community forums can be helpful. While API calls have rate limits, SNMP functions differently. Polling frequency and device capacity influence SNMP performance, so setting an optimal polling interval prevents excessive resource usage. Since both MX devices share the same IP in an HA setup, monitoring the secondary MX directly can be difficult. To work around this, you can configure Meraki Dashboard alerts to notify you of status changes, set up SNMP traps for real-time alerts, and monitor the network’s overall health through external tools.
