What is the API for alerting/error reason?

Yaakov Neuman at NetOp AI — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 14:27:45 GMT

In the dashboard, under Wireless > Access Point, when I choose a specific AP, I can see its status.

If the status is "alerting", there is a orange rectangle above the map with the reason for the alerting. Or red rectangle on case of error. See example in the attached image.

What is the API I can use to get this error message (reason)?

I believe you are looking for health alerts:

Replaced with:

import meraki

dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI("")

organization_id = ''
print("orgID")

all_networks = dashboard.organizations.getOrganizationNetworks(organization_id, total_pages='All')

for a in all_networks: 
    #print(a['name'])
    network_alerts = dashboard.networks.getNetworkHealthAlerts(a['id'])
    count = 0
    for n in network_alerts: 
        print(n)
        if n['type'] == "Uplink IP address in conflict with another device": 
            print(n)
            with open("C:\\data\\logs\\networkswithissues.txt", "a") as f:
                f.write(str(n))
            count += 1             
print(f"{count} networks.")

You can also do it with the Meraki Python module. This filters just for IP conflicts.

This ultimately uses the same endpoint that @Andy Mikulas shared, so may not work long-term.
