What is the extra bit in your URL after /ping?

The URL should look like:
https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/devices/{serial}/liveTools/ping

Is the extra bit the ping ID from a prior call?

Ping results won't be kept forever, eventually the ID will expire and give a 404.

Hi @CiscoLumen the most common data retention period for items in dashboard is 1 month, so if it 404s after 4 weeks then that seems normal!

I'd recommend removing your serial number from the post above at your first convenience--it's generally best to not publish them.
