Alert in the API - weeklyUmbrella

NJNetworkGuy100 — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 13:08:59 GMT

I'm working on a script to update network alerts across our org, and while doing an alert export with the API, I came across this alert:

{'type': 'weeklyUmbrella', 'enabled': False, 'alertDestinations': {'emails': [], 'snmp': False, 'allAdmins': False, 'httpServerIds': []}, 'filters': {}}

What does this alert in the API match up to in the Dashboard? We don't use Umbrella in our org or in any of our networks, so not sure where this would be coming from.

This type of alert may be included by default in the API response, even if it is not used in your organization. The ideal would be for you to confirm with Meraki support.

That's what I was thinking too. I'll ask Support.

The important bit is:

 'enabled': False

It is disabled so you can ignore it.
