Thanks @MerakiJess Can we get an ability to configure alerts for these events?  It would be AMAZING if we could get push notification in the Meraki app for events in security center but I'd be happy with the ability to configure email alerts.  Is there any way to add these capabilities?  They would make the security center much more valuable. ...

Thanks for the replies but none of this is encouraging for me.  I'm in the US to answer your question and our reseller does have access to the dashboard.  But if I'm hearing correctly; you are also not seeing any availability for MX67s for this year?  I can understand the opinion that we should have ordered earlier, however I still find no availability in this year to be problematic. Unfortunately our time machine is on the fritz so I'm not able to go back and place an earlier order.  I also appreciate the suggestion to be creative and adapt.  This is part of the reason I'm asking questions here.   Our contacts at Meraki have disappeared and I'm trying to find a creative approach to engage in a conversation on how we can address our needs.     One possible approach that might help us and other customers would be to extend support for the MX60s.  Perhaps even offering an option to pay for extended support?  Can anyone from Meraki speak that that option?  I don't know what to expect in terms of functionality when we reach end of support but even if the devices continue to work we still face challenges with PCI compliance.  Since our credit card transactions travel through our MX appliances, the appliances are part of our card data environment.  My understanding is that PCI compliance will require that equipment that is part of the CDE is currently supported.  So having our MX60s go unsupported by Meraki while we are unable to purchase MX67s is a problem for us.  Deploying higher end devices is not the most desirable option due to excessive cost.  That puts us in a situation of having to consider using equipment from other manufacturers and then configure non-meraki peer vpn connections which I would really rather not do.  So without any encouraging information about when we could see availability on hardware we will have to give consideration to abandoning the Meraki platform.  We have 67 MX appliances in our network so replacing all of those is a big hit as well but I don't see how I can plan for the future with a platform that is not able to supply hardware or options for existing customers.     How about it Meraki, any chance of offering extended support on MX60s to get us through this (hopefully) temporary product availability shortage?   ...

I'm also seeking a way to do this.  I had hoped that I could use DHCP reservations for the Client VPN subnet and create reservations for known MAC addresses.  This isn't perfect but it is a lot better than nothing.     Unfortunately I am not seeing any way to specify DHCP reservations for a client VPN subnet.     Has anyone else figured out a way to either restrict or somehow validate the computers that are connecting to VPN in addition to validating the user? ...

Thank you to everyone who replied offering help!  I don't know what my initial problem is but I suspect that I just didn't have postman configured correctly.  When I uninstalled everything and then set it up again from scratch it started working as expected.  I then managed to mess up part of the collection by editing the Get string on one of the calls and I couldn't get it to go back to the default.  So I then tried deleting the Meraki collection thinking I could add it back in again but was then unable to get the open in postman link to work again!  I wound up going to an old IE browser and that let me install the collection again.  Now I'm being very cautious about changing anything in postman but it is working to help me test the calls.  Now that I've got that going I'm having no problem making calls form Powershell and I'm loving how easy it is to get the results that I want through api calls.  I did create a read only api key for our organization and I can audit firewall rules across all of our networks which is what got me wanting to understand how to work with the api in the first place.     Thank you all for the gracious help. ...

Thanks Philip!  I don't know what I was doing wrong but I wound up restarting and reconfiguring everything from scratch and I can now make successful api calls using the api key from the article and I have them working in powerhsell now as well.     Thank you very much for the explanation on creating a read only api key.   This is exactly what I want to move my testing efforts forward.     Much appreciated!   Lastly, I read your comments about storing api keys in an include file.  I'm still not super comfortable about having an administrative api key in plain text anywhere.  Do you have any other thoughts on best practices for api key management? ...

Thank you for your reply Philip, the powershell code example is a big help.  I also have concerns about the visibility of our API key.  Is there any way to generate a read only api key?   For my learning and exploration I"m trying to work with the api key provided in the tutorial article I linked above.  I'm not able to get a basic call and return in postman so I haven't pushed forward with powershell yet.  In fact I started with powershell but just kept getting 404 errors    Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. At C:\tech\ps\MerakiPower_01.ps1:62 char:13 + ... $request = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'GET' -Uri $uri -Headers $heade ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebExc eption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand   This led me to try working with postman so I could more easily understand the return.  That's when I realized that I'm clearly not working with the api key correctly.  At this point I am just confused about where I went wrong.  The tutorial article is pretty simple and straight forward but I can't seem to get the same results with the provided key. ...

Thanks for your reply Nash.  As far as I can tell I do have the X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key set.  I've attached a picture below.    But I'm wondering if I'm just not understanding the intent of the tutorial.  I'm trying to work with the provided api key rather than generating an api key for our network.  I had the impression that I could work out code examples using the test api key before trying to run calls directly against our organization.  Is that possible?  Am I misunderstanding?  When I follow the steps in the tutorial and hit send I just get HTML as a response and when I click preview I get the Dashboard login message below.  Do I need to establish a VPN connection for this to work?       ...
