Cellular interface details for entire dashboard

jitendera@hcl.in — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 17:28:25 GMT

Everyone - Is it possible to generate a cellular signal strength report from Meraki dashboard for entire MX presents in the network.

At this moment, i have to go into uplink tab for each MX to see Cellular strength (1 - 4 Bar). is there a easy way to pull out this data for complete organization.

Please let me know if it can be achieved on dashboard or through API/Postman etc.

Thank You,

Jitender

Yes, you can absolutely pull this from the API. See here. It gives you csq value for that connection, so long as your modem supports it.

What model cellular modem are you guys are using? We've got a good assortment of MiFi 620L's & Pantech UML290's from Verizon. The 620's unfortunately don't let us see signal strength, but the 290's seem to show 5 bars no matter what the strength may actually be.

Sorry, I figured if you were logged in that hyperlink would have linked you to the correct spot. Here's the public page: https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs#return-an-array-containing-the-uplink-information-for-a-device. It doesn't detail the name of that field in that document, but in our environment it's listed as 'signal'.
