Web app health reporting?

baxterminal — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 05:10:13 GMT

I am wondering if it is possible to use the Meraki dashboard API to get information regarding Web App health for apps. (Insight > Web App Health )

We have a Web App Health monitor for youtube set up and when checking the "View Trends" section of the monitor I'm wondering if the data on that page can be pulled using the meraki API. I had a look around but couldn't find anything, just wondering if maybe I missed it somewhere.

Thanks. Appreciate any help.

I'm not aware of any APIs for this - and I think it is unlikely with Thousand Eyes having been added to the Cisco family.

There are a few basic calls for Insight, l list some below, but there are several more..

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-organization-insight-applications/

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/create-organization-insight-monitored-media-server

This one gets data for a monitored application...

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-network-insight-application-health-by-time/

Whether it'll give you what you want is another matter, you'll need to analyse/interpret.

Thousand Eyes mentioned by @Philip D'Ath is way more powerful, if you need to understand and actively manage performance it's worth a look, you can get a free trial, it's easy to integrate with Meraki to do some testing.

Thanks guys. I don't think the api is going to pull all the info on the view trends page but I will take more of a look into Thousand Eyes. Appreciate the help!
