When you import the Meraki Postman collection it has a configured test for JSON Magic that is used to help visualize the results in tabular form. What you can do to get around this is save the particular endpoints to a new folder to be used just for your flow so that it doesn't complicate the Postman Flow. Be sure to remember to add your API key (or environmental variable) into the settings for the new folder. Alternatively, if you are fine without the options for visualizations you can just remove that from the tests from the Meraki collection folder.

One somewhat rarely mentioned gem that I like to use is to open Postman and generate a snippet for whatever language I need the line of code for. Very nifty in certain situations. https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/generate-code-snippets/

The field with key of "id" has a value that is the key of "shortName". "id" will have a value that is something like "4321" which will be a unique ID for that firmware. There is an example body from the reference doc for this endpoint. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/update-network-firmware-upgrades/

Hello cumoon, You could also use in addtion to the other mentioned endpoint the getNetworkApplianceWarmSpare endpoint by iterating through appliance networks if you need to know which specific device is primary and which is the spare.

Hello aurelijanob, Be sure to see if the network is bound to a template as such networks will have their alerts configured at the template level rather than the network level.

Hello Aponte, If you only need loss % and latency then the uplink loss and latency endpoint will provide that.

From the supported resources list for action batches it looks like you will want to use /organizations/{organizationId}/switch/devices for the resource path with the operation of clone.

Another idea may be to utilize webhooks for the configuration settings are changed alert so to leverage a push method with details of the network and the details of the change made.

Hello david_n_m_bond, Perhaps deep linking could be useful for you which allows direct linking to orgs, networks, devices, and summary reports.

Just a suggestion but would webhooks be useful in this use case? That way it is a push method rather than pull. As long as you have alerts setup for all wireless networks to notify when an AP goes offline you should be able to track that on your required interval and calc the time difference between the down and up notifications for each serial and/or mac address. It will save on your API budget as well.

The only endpoints that will give you any such an indication (which will be status, as you indicated, and details of the connection) are the following: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-appliance-uplink-statuses https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-uplinks-statuses

The data field ownerEmail is an option to provide in the fields parameter that is of type array. It only allows to display additional fields in the returned response body and is not a query parameter to filter on a specific value. You will have to return all the results first, including the ownerEmail field, and then filter the response accordingly.

The Meraki collection for Postman comes with a utility called JSON Magic that will allow you to export the results to a csv file. From there you could manipulate the data as needed. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/build/meraki-postman-collection-getting-started/#!overview/visualize-with-json-magic

There is an event log event type for Primary Uplink Status Change that you could use. I assume that your primary interface is WAN1. An event will be generated upon failure and again for when it is restored. The event type to filter by is failover_event. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-events

JasonM · ‎12-22-2022

You can run the API call below to get results of GET calls made in the org. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-organization-api-requests

JasonM · ‎12-05-2022

The endpoint below can be used if the IP address is configured statically: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-device-management-interface

In addition to the other great comments here, it looks like it is doing a redirect because your base URL is https://dashboard.meraki.com rather than https://api.meraki.com. Try changing the base URL and see what that results in.

No worries! Glad you got it working.

JasonM · ‎11-16-2022

Hello @AutomationDude, You'll want to pass the parameters as illustrated: dashboard.networks.unbindNetwork(networkId, retainConfigs=True)

I recommend having a look at this Youtube demo from my colleague on how to use the Collection Runner in Postman to make changes in mass using a csv file. This seems like a good use-case for what you are trying to do and is simple to implement.

@sungod's answer is the best one IMO for what you are describing due to the real-time detailed analytics that it provides, pending that you have a Netflow collector to analyze the flows. Alternatively, since you mention the likes of Kibana (and/or if using the ELK stack) you can export syslog to obtain flow logs. However, it will not be as detailed as Netflow. https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Monitoring_and_Reporting/Syslog_Event_Types_and_Log_Samples#Meraki_MX_Security_Appliance

The Meraki Google Sheets add-on tool might be something of interest for you if you are looking for an easy reporting solution. You can run a single report or run the looper on it and select all networks to run through each of your networks and report it in the spreadsheet. Might be worth checking out. https://developer.cisco.com/docs/meraki-tools-google-sheets-add-on/#!getting-started/system-requirements

Ah @PhilipDAth, I should have refreshed my screen before answering as I think I was 15 minutes behind your answer. Credit to you! 🙂

For network-wide alerts you can use the following endpoint. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!update-network-alerts-settings
