You're trying to get health alerts for a device that's never connected into the Dashboard ("unreachable device")... what you're receiving would, I think, be expected behaviour.

My analogy would be: you're asking a dad man how he's feeling... 😀

We can see the ID and severity inside Meraki dashboard for that alert, but when we are trying to pull the alert through API, we are getting NULL value for ID & severity.

Is there any configuration changes needed?

But how can you expect to get health information from a device that's not connected to the Meraki Dashboard? Health relates to how the device is performing once it's connected - if it's not connected you won't get any health information

Just to be (hopefully) a bit clearer - the 'Health' referred to here is the health of the connectivity of client devices that connect through the Meraki devices being queried - it does not refer to the health of the Meraki device itself.

We have added devices as you mentioned and now getting the "Severity" but we are still not getting Alert ID & alert created date & time. Please refer the below response.

@GreenMan : Request your input...

I'm really not clear what you're trying to achieve here - and I'm no expert in the script, but you appear to be trying to get status info from an MX on its warm spare 'brother' (New_spare_status) - but that MX has no warm spare (Unreachable device). Please bear in mind this forum is not a substitute for Meraki Support. you should probably contact them for any further assistance.
