Webhooks or SNMP? using postman. for a monthly report.

Solitarius — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 15:12:18 GMT

We just switched over to Meraki, and we're trying out Postman, It seems really robust and good, It has plenty of options.

Our main goal is to get a monthly history of logs and failover events.

I see that the Meraki Dashboard is sort of lacking in this way.

I am looking for some solutions, or fingers to point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance.

Oh that looks nice!, I've heard about RestAPI, I have to ask you if you've looked into Postman at all, It was recommended on the Cisco Devnet, and they have their own collections for it.

I've been doing research and found out that, SNMP isn't going to work, it doesn't have that many data points to pull.

So I'm leaning more towards using the Webhooks.
