The reason why they're still getting through is likely because of the configuration details of sfportscan in the MX. The problem with IDS in Meraki is that it isn't very finetunable and details like this are also not documented. Why they're intermittent, I'm not sure. Maybe the scans Lansweeper does have an element of randomness, and maybe sfportscan behaves differently when the first IP/service/whatever scanned results in a positive result rather than negative. More info about sfportscan here: https://www.snort.org/faq/readme-sfportscan I wouldn't worry too much about it as you know the result is legitimate and the threat isn't.
