Valid Role options for syslog servers

Ozgur1 — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 11:58:34 GMT

For syslog server settings, on the API docs, it is stated that valid options for role field are these: 'Wireless event log', 'Appliance event log', 'Switch event log', 'Air Marshal events', 'Flows', 'URLs', 'IDS alerts', 'Security events'

I have a combined (wireless / security / switch) network. For this network, I can successfully create a syslog server if I include any subset of role options except 'IDS alerts' and 'Security events'. If I include any one of these two, I get a 400 error with the following message: 'Please select at least one valid role for server_address:port'. I also don't see these 2 roles as options on the dashboard.

Is there a specific network type, account feature or anything for which these syslog role types are enabled? If that is the case, can I get that info from the API? Or maybe are these role types deprecated?

If you do not see the 2 roles 'IDS Alerts' and 'Security events' from your dashboard, then you cannot leverage them in the API as roles. I am able to use the Security events role in my syslog settings through the API across several branch locations for one of my clients, all which consist of combined networks (wireless/switch/security).

It is unusual that 'Security events' is not a selectable role, so I would open a case with Meraki support to have them check out what could be going on; I am unsure on the 'IDS alerts' role as I've never seen that as an option in the dashboard, and in the current API library, I do not see that as a role option either.
