Thanks for sharing !!! I tested in my environment and it works !!!

Hello Meraki Team. After some digging I found the solution: Perhaps should be better documented inside Dashboard API documentation. Regards,

Hello Meraki Team. Please, does anyone know the right syntax to use "Array" inside the "query params" ? I am trying to filter the network events using "IncludedEventTypes" but I don't know how to use it. I already extracted all "Network Event Types" from the Dashboard API but still have problems when using one or many. Regards, Klaus Engelmann

Hello Bruce. It worked !!! url_api = /api/v1/networks/{network}/wireless/clientCountHistory?timespan=3600&resolution=300&ssid={ssid} Thanks !!! [ { "startTs": "2021-08-23T11:00:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-23T12:00:00Z", "clientCount": 383 } ]

Hello Meraki Team. Please, I need help to understand why I am getting several results for many days using the API getNetworkWirelessClientCountHistory. I am using timespan 3600. I expected to receive only one hour of data. https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/networks/{network}/wireless/clientCountHistory?timespan=3600&autoResolution=true&ssid={ssid} $ python script_count_ssid_usage.py [ { "startTs": "2021-08-20T18:50:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T18:55:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T18:55:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:00:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:00:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:05:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:05:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:10:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:10:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:15:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:15:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:20:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:20:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:25:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:25:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:30:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:30:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:35:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:35:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:40:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:40:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:45:00Z", "clientCount": 4 }, { "startTs": "2021-08-20T19:45:00Z", "endTs": "2021-08-20T19:50:00Z", "clientCount": 4 } ] Regards, Klaus Engelmann

Hello Meraki Team ! Please, anyone knows which API URL provides the time to connect log ? This can be find inside Dashboard > Clients > "Specific Client" > History (Tab). I am trying to generate reports regarding authentication latency in all users inside a network. Regards, Klaus.

Hello Bruce and GIdenJoe. Many thanks for your reply and explanations ! Now I understand a lot better the "RF Performance Table". In fact, the "RX Sensitivity" is easier to understand: if the AP receives a frame with a value lower than -67 dBm it is unlikely to achive MCS9 for VHT40. My mind plays a trick on me when I consider the "TX Power Conducted" because I see all the values and they are always higher than 10 dBm. Then I am trapped thinking about an MR36 using 5 dBm as the transmit power. Looking at the table I cannot guess which Data Rate could be achieved. This is the point where I am still confused when reading the table. Of course I did live captures and see MCS rates with power levels lower than 10 dBm. Regards,

Hello Meraki Community. Please, I need some help to understand the "RF Performance Table" inside Meraki MR Datasheets. Here is an example: MR36 Datasheet - Cisco Meraki If I understand correctly the "RF Performance Table" is indicating the conditions where the Data Rates will be achived. For example, in order to achive MCS9 Data Rate it is necessary both conditions: 1) The MR transmission power should be 13.5 dBm. 2) The end-user RX Sensitivity (like RSSI) should be -67 dBm. Is this correct ? What I am struggling to understand is: what will happen if you use lower power levels (TX Power) on the AP? I am asking this because the table is showing power levels greater than 12 dBm. Regards,

Many thanks for your help Inderdeep. I tried the Device Utilization you mentioned (GET /networks/[networkId]/devices/[serial]/performance). It is useful but it showed me about the overall performance of the MX appliance (in percentage). I am still looking for an API that show bandwidth utilization on the MX WAN ports. Regards,

klausengelmann · ‎Apr 28 2021

Hello Meraki Community. Please, could someone help me to find a specific API Call to get Bandwidth Utilization on MX devices ? I searched the documentation and I think the recommended way is to summ all network client utilization. Is this the only way ? Regards, Klaus Engelmann

Hello RouterGuy. One question: did you manage to find how to use "timespan" and "autoResolution" correctly ? My problem is: when I am polling an API for "client count" during a specific timeframe or period there are values that are not consistent. This situation is repeating even in larger intervals (I am polling after one hour). I am trying to find a documentation for how periodically you can poll Meraki APIs (I am aware of the rate limit). Regards,

Hello Kvkewn Many thanks for posting your issue and thoughts. I am in a similar situation using PRTG too. I am struggling to understand how to combine the "timespan" parameter and the right "polling" frequency to collect data from Meraki API. I am collecting the number of clients associated per Meraki Access Point or Network using the following URL: https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/MY_NETWORK/clients?perPage=1000&timespan=3600 In order to avoid the API Rate Limit I am collecting the result every hour using PRTG. The timespan used inside the URL is also 3600 seconds (1 hour). The problem is that the data is coming in a very inconsistent way. Please, could you help me to understand how can I use the Meraki API timespan correctly ? What is the recommended time interval to collect the connected clients ? Regards,

Hello CPEERS I have the same doubt you described in your post. I am struggling to understand how to combine the "timespan" parameter with a "polling frequency". I am collecting the number of clients associated per Meraki Access Point or Network using the following URL: https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/MY_NETWORK/clients?perPage=1000&timespan=3600 In order to avoid the API Rate Limit I am collecting the result every hour using PRTG. The timespan used inside the URL is also 3600 seconds (1 hour). The problem is that the data is coming in a very inconsistent way. Please, could you help me to understand how can I use the Meraki API timespan correctly ? What is the recommended time interval to collect the connected clients ? When I am using MERAKI APIs that do not have the "timespan" feature I can collect reliable data. If I have to use the timespan in other APIs the data never comes like it is in reality. Regards,
