HI Alvin,    SNMP wasnt possible for us, but I cannot remember why (either not possible since the Merakis were not in our network since we are monitoring for a customer of ours or it didnt deliver the values needed). Email wasnt a good route either, since it had a lot of HTML and a pain to parse. Additionally the events were summarized and sometimes Emails didnt even arrive when an event happened. And again, Email only monitored the specific alerts which wasnt detailed enough for us. Alerts are great, but "The Primary uplink status changes" was the closest option, but we also wanted to monitor the secondary uplink without the primary having to go down first to ensure full redundancy and proactive management. Alerts doesnt offer this possibility.   We have built our own monitoring based on the REST Endpoints. Every hour we get a full inventory of the organisation, its networks, devices and interfaces (for the network ID and device Serial number). https://SHARD.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations/ORGANIZATIONID/networks https://SHARD.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/NETWORKID/devices https://SHARD.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/NETWORKID/devices/SERIALNUMBER/uplink   Every 3 minutes we get the uplink status of each device and interface using the endpoint: https://SHARD.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/NETWORKID/devices/SERIALNUMBER/uplink To remove flapping and false alarms, we have soft-states, so the WAN must be in a state for X times/calls before we actually accept it and create/update incidents, create notifications etc.   As soon as Meraki's Webhook comes out of Beta, we will try using that again (it was already evaluated) to be more proactive, but I fear the Webhook will be based on the alerts (like Email) and still not deliver the events we actually want to monitor.   Hope this helped. ...

Unfortunately not. But we are not using the Webhooks anymore since they do not deliver the results we need to properly monitor our Meraki's WAN Interfaces ... View more

Webhooks from the "VPN connectivity changed" alert include a peerIdent (faked for this example):   { "alertData":{ "vpnType":"site-to-site", "peerContact":"IP:PORT", "peerIdent":"7d5207074fa5e3003a0ee6101310c740", "connectivity":"true" }, "alertId":"647392446445688213", "alertType":"VPN connectivity changed" } I understand this is the connection to the Hub, but is there anywhere where I could find an inventory of peerIdents over the API? The ID is always the same when connecting to the same Hub, so I would assume this ID must be saved somewhere.   Thanks Oliver   ... View more

I have restarted the appliance, it seems this has helped for now. But I would have assumed the mails, webhooks and snmp traps are handled by the dashboard, not the actual appliance? ... View more

Webhook stopped working

I am currently testing automated monitoring for our Meraki MX products. The API is great and the addition of webhooks is a warm welcome. The webhooks have been working the whole day and spontaneously stopped working.   I have added my email address to the recipient (next to the webhook) and the mail is sent out fine for the alerts, just the webhook wont. It sometimes does happen that only some webhooks are triggered, but not all.   I know this is still in a beta phase, but any idea what could cause webhooks not being called? ... View more
