Learning objective Learners will troubleshoot, identify and resolve a common network issue with the RCA Flow tool.     Learn   Have you ever troubleshot an issue but didn't know where to begin? We've all been there, and have spent hours determining next steps and piecing together information. Fortunately, with Root Cause Analysis alert-based workflows, or RCA flows, that whole process is easier than ever. Guided RCA flows help direct a dashboard operator to not only determine but execute next steps right there in the alert itself, and standard RCA flows help give additional context with links to documentation, recommended actions, or other suggestions.   In this Nibble, you will explore the functionality of a guided flow to troubleshoot and resolve a common network issue. Good luck, and have fun!      Try Curious to see the tool for yourself?   Try it out with our quick yet comprehensive simulation!    Give it a try!       Earn a badge     Learn more If you’d like to deepen your knowledge about Meraki Assurance, check out our Introducing Meraki Assurance Overview course at the Learning Hub.

  Learning objective Quickly and easily troubleshoot common network flow issues with the dashboard’s Firewall Log tool!         Learn   Think you need to take a packet capture each time to see what’s traversing your firewall? Think again! Meraki’s Firewall Log tool for the MX security appliance provides real-time visibility into network traffic, helping a dashboard operator easily identify and troubleshoot common network flow issues.   By capturing detailed logs of allowed and blocked connections, the tool gives insight into what’s happening with the firewall as that traffic happens. Much quicker than running a standard packet capture, this tool enables an operator to get in, out, and back to it quicker than ever before!     Try Curious to see the tool for yourself?   Try it out with our quick yet comprehensive simulation!    Video transcript here.   Give it a try!       Test your knowledge     Learn more If you’d like to deepen your knowledge about Meraki’s MX security appliance, check out our Security and SD-WAN Introduction course at the Learning Hub.
