Looking for APIs to collect monitoring data

[ambuj.jain]

Hello,

We would like to monitor Meraki Environment – specifically, to get visibility into the up/down status of their Meraki access points, get traffic statistics, and other availability and performance metrics.

We looked the monitoring data exposed by Meraki Dashboard APIs – and we find

that metrics of interest are not available via these APIs.

My questions:

  - Does Meraki support other APIs that provide monitoring data.

  - Is there a Partner or Development program through we can

  get access to APIs that provide monitoring data.

Thanks,

Ambuj Jain

Ambuj,

You can monitor everything from the Meraki Dashboard. If you'd like to pull information out into another application, the Dashboard API provides the functionality you are looking for, but traditional network monitoring tools often use SNMP polling, SNMP Traps, and Syslog for monitoring Cisco Meraki networks.

Up/Down Status:

Traffic Statistics of clients:

https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs#list-the-clients-of-a-device-up-to-a-maximum-of-a-month-ago

Performance:
