Meraki Dashboard Reports with Google Sheets

DexterLabora — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 11:45:28 GMT

I created a simple tool to import Meraki Dashboard API data directly into a Google Sheet.

Check out the full write-up

If you have cool ideas or feedback, let me know!

This is great, thank you! Anyway you could add a function to return the uplink status to the code?

api call is {{baseUrl}}/networks/{{networkId}}/devices/{{serial}}/uplink

Hi Ben,

You can use the Device Status report to get the uplink status for every device in the org. This is a very fast call, as it returns an array of every device in the organization by default.

I could write a recursive script to iterate through every device in every network in every org... but that takes a lot longer. If there is critical information in that call that you still need, I could consider writing an additional report.

I added some extra reports and refined how the data is parsed be more dynamic with available attributes.

Make sure you the newest script (simply replace yours with this new one).

This works great, however, I am getting 'Exceeded maximum execution time' when running the clients script.

Any ideas how to fix this?

This script takes a while because it iterates through every device in every network to pull clients over a period of 86400 seconds.

I was motivated by this question, so I have updated the script with a few additions. I've added a timespan and network setting so you can focus on a particular network and limit the search range.

I also extended the reports with a Details version, that makes an API call for every client to get its SSID and other info. This will likely break on a large network, but I built it for another use case.

Replace your existing code file with this one

Code.gs

Delete the settings tab or rename it so you have a copy

Refresh the sheet to load the new version.

It will generate a new settings sheet, which you must update.

Its a work in progress, so still working on the UI, etc. Happy to hear any feedback.

Hello!

This has been added to the report!

Overwrite your Code.GS file with this one

https://gist.github.com/dexterlabora/9884aa4399715df8f453ea9de63255a0

Delete or Rename your settings sheet

Refresh the Sheet window to load new script

Update the new settings sheet

@DexterLabora

I have a fairly large org and want to pull a client list. Can you give me some ideas how to overcome a the time out (settings tab?) and the 2,000,0000 limit in sheets? Is there a way for it to break the data up between sheets?

Re: Meraki Dashboard Reports with Google Sheets

Hi,

I have updated a few things with this script. It now has an Org-wide and Net-wide menu. This will allow for some large reports to be more focused, such as Clients.

Hi guys. Is this still functional? I don't see " Meraki Reports" on the sheets even after refreshing severally. I had it initially but no longer there.

Re: Meraki Dashboard Reports with Google Sheets

DexterLabora — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 10:24:07 GMT

@Juma.Wemali , yes it should work but it's a bit of an old script.

You will likely need to first run the onOpen function, to load the menu the first time. It will prompt you for your Google auth to allow it to run.

Then setup a trigger to run the script every time you open the doc.

FYI,

There is a more powerful version of this app that support Dashboard API v1

Hi @DexterLabora

How do I get the "monitoring" sheet to load automatically?

Most reports works great, thx

The device loss and latency gives a Code 404

Re: Meraki Dashboard Reports with Google Sheets

DexterLabora — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 12:11:45 GMT

If you want the script launch the menu when you open the Google Sheet, just add a Trigger.

Do this in the Script editor section.

Select the "onOpen" function to run for the event type "On open"

You could also create macros that will run a specific function and insert the data on scheduled basis.

create a new file called macros.gs and then add this code

// example function I want to run via macro
function DeviceUplinkDetails() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  spreadsheet.getRange('A2').activate();
  callUplinkInfos();
};

Then create a new trigger for this that calls the function on a schedule.

Hope this helps!

Hi @DexterLabora

I just stumbled upon your amazing work, and after looking at the code, it is still using API v0.

Any chance that you have updated this to the latest v1?

Re: Meraki Dashboard Reports with Google Sheets

wellyhartanto — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 01:52:15 GMT

Ah nevermind.

I've found that you created an extension instead.

Afternoon;
Could this be setup to interrogate and report back on Meraki MT10 Sensors?
E.g. Name, Latest Readings for Temp,Humidity and Battery life?

Re: Meraki Dashboard Reports with Google Sheets

xiaoyhu — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 17:19:31 GMT

Yes, you can achieve this by combining the organizations > Organization Devices (set device model as mt10)and sensor > Organization Sensor Readings Latest calls (with the targeted devices selected)

The reason you will need the Organization Devices is in the sensor reading returns there is no device names but serial numbers.
