Anyone else having issues with inbound firewall logging for 17.6? All our mxs on 16.16 send the logs just fine. I opened a ticket with support and have not received any help from them except that it was a possible bug but no confirmation. I didnt see any mention of a fix in the 17.7 notes. When you check the inbound firewall logging syslog checkbox and save, after refreshing the page the box is automatically unchecked.

After upgrading our MX250 to 17.6 we are no longer getting inbound firewall logs to our syslog server. All outbound firewall activity is there but inbound has gone missing. We have several publicly accessible IPs so normally we see thousands of inbound logs a day.

Do you know where I can find documentation for the latest api beta changes? I am part of the meraki developer early access community but it doesn't look like the documentation there has been updated since 2020.

Thank you very much for the info. Our org does have early access features enabled so I will certainly test it out.

Is it no longer possible to update mx wireless settings via the api? Any api ssids functions are limited to MR interactions and the V0 wireless functions that used to support wireless mx's no longer pull mx ssids only AP. Is this something that will be updated or is there any known workarounds? I have a number of teleworker mx ssid settings that I need to change and would like to avoid the inefficiency and tediousness of manually updating them all.

The solution to this issue is simple. All meraki api calls have a built in header named 'Retry-After':. In your api requests simply put in the number of seconds you want it to wait before it sends the next request. I typically use 3 seconds. This bypasses any request limit or timeout. I use this method on all of my python scripts and I am able to iterate through all of my networks and make hundreds of api calls in rapid succession to make mass changes. There are limits to using only API calls to complete networking tasks. Combining them with scripts is where they shine.

I have noticed that when applying a country blacklist in firewall rules that in security center the map shows the blocked countries in red as shown in my picture below. However, when you apply a whitelist to a few specific countries it does not identify the whitelisted countries or show the countries that are not on the whitelisted as blocked. The entire map is just grey. Is this something that can be looked into? Just a small visual feature that would be nice to see. Thanks.

We would really like to track the event logs for our layer 7 firewall rules. We currently have this set up with syslog and InsightIDR for our layer 3 rules. It does not look like this is a possibility for layer 7 at the moment. Is there any way to collect these layer 7 logs?

I moved the policy objects one at a time to the other org per the existing documentation. Please update the documentation to reflect the method of posting multiple policy objects at once or if this is not possible please let the dev team know this is something that needs to be looked into. Moving 100+ policy objects one at a time is not ideal.

I used a get from one of our orgs cleaned it up so we did not have any overlapping ids or names and then tried to post it. Only the first policy object in the list is created in the org. I know for other endpoints such as l3 firewalls you have to add "rules" : in front of the rest of the .json or only the first rule is added. For example. { "rules": [ { "comment": "Deny DNS", "policy": "deny", "protocol": "any", "srcPort": "Any", "srcCidr": "Any", "destPort": "Any", "destCidr": "GRP(85)", "syslogEnabled": true }, { "comment": "NTP", "policy": "allow", "protocol": "udp", "srcPort": "Any", "srcCidr": "Any", "destPort": "123", "destCidr": "Any", "syslogEnabled": true }, This will add all rules in my .json file. [ { "comment": "Deny DNS", "policy": "deny", "protocol": "any", "srcPort": "Any", "srcCidr": "Any", "destPort": "Any", "destCidr": "GRP(85)", "syslogEnabled": true }, { "comment": "NTP", "policy": "allow", "protocol": "udp", "srcPort": "Any", "srcCidr": "Any", "destPort": "123", "destCidr": "Any", "syslogEnabled": true }, This will only add the rule at the top of the list. Is there a qualifier such as "rules" for the post policyObjects endpoint? I am able to obtain the correct syntax for most calls through meraki postman but since policy objects is in beta as well as the endpoints for it this documentation is not readily available.

I have seen the documentation you have listed above but the specific documentation I was referring to was this. I could not find this endpoint in postman or the python sdk I am guessing because it is in beta.

I am creating a script to move policy objects from one org to another but I am receiving this error {"errors":["The following required parameters are missing: 'name', 'category' and 'type'"]} I am able to move one policy object at a time successfully but I receive the error when moving multiple. I have added a sample of my json file below. I believe my issue is that "objects" is not the right syntax for posting multiple policy objects. I was able to find documentation from the 1.8.0 beta changelog but it only shows an example for posting one policy object at a time. Any additional information is much appreciated. { "objects": [ { "id": "24", "name": "xx-ISE-26", "type": "cidr", "category": "network", "createdAt": "2020-09-11T20:26:34Z", "updatedAt": "2021-03-08T16:25:35Z", "cidr": "x.x.x.x", "groupIds": [], "networkIds": [] }, { "id": "25", "name": "xxx-ISE-26", "type": "cidr", "category": "network", "createdAt": "2020-09-11T20:26:41Z", "updatedAt": "2021-03-08T16:26:00Z", "cidr": "x.x.x.x", "groupIds": [], "networkIds": []

Thank you for your suggestion. I was able to figure out the issue and the code is working. I had to add data=json.dumps(payload) because json.load() strips the double quotations required for json when converting the file to a python dictionary.

The json file that I have was produced from a postman meraki api "get" of our standard l7 rules. I am able to use a json.dump of the exact json I have above and it works successfully for a "put".

No luck with this change either. I believe this to be a specific problem with the python script and the way I am loading the json file into the api call.
