Hey everyone
I worked with a team member of mine to come up with an automated script that runs on our Ansible server that will reboot whichever Meraki access point that has 'API' at the end of its name (or really just in the name), on a weekly scheduled basis, with email reporting. This could be used I'm sure for MX or MS as well, but we are only using it for access points.
Feel free to critique. I'm not a Python person by any means, but this works great:
import json
import sys
import requests
import time
import email
import smtplib
cisco_meraki_api_Key = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
organizationId = 'XXXXXX'
baseUrl = 'https://dashboard.meraki.com/api/v0/'
inventory_api_url = "organizations/{}/inventory".format(organizationId)
headers = {
'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': cisco_meraki_api_Key,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
get_inventory = requests.get(baseUrl+inventory_api_url,
headers=headers,
)
# Parse the get_inventory into json
inventory_json = get_inventory.json()
networkID = ""
serial = ""
# Opens or create a file name results
f = open('results.txt', "w+")
# loop over all the dictionaries inside inventory_json,
# if API is inside the dictionary it will get the NetworkID and the serial and then write it to the string above
for ap in inventory_json:
try:
if 'API' in ap['name']:
networkID = ap['networkId']
serial = ap['serial']
ap_name = ap['name']
reboot_api_call = requests.post(
baseUrl+'/networks/{}/devices/{}/reboot'.format(networkID, serial ),
headers=headers)
if reboot_api_call.status_code == 200:
print('Rebooting --->', ap_name, '---> Successful' , file=f)
print("---------------------------------------------------",file=f)
if reboot_api_call.status_code == 400:
print ('Rebooting --->', ap_name, '---> Bad Request' , file=f)
print("---------------------------------------------------",file=f)
if reboot_api_call.status_code == 403:
print ('Rebooting --->', ap_name, '---> Forbidden' , file=f)
print("---------------------------------------------------",file=f)
if reboot_api_call.status_code == 404:
print ('Rebooting --->', ap_name, '---> Not Found' , file=f)
print("---------------------------------------------------",file=f)
if reboot_api_call.status_code == 429:
print ('Rebooting --->', ap_name, '---> Too Many Requests' , file=f)
print("---------------------------------------------------",file=f)
time.sleep(2)
except:
continue
# closes the file
f.close()
# Setting up the SMTP Server
sender = 'meraki_api@company.local'
receiver = 'yourteam@company.com'
smtp_server = smtplib.SMTP(host='X.X.X.X', port=25)
f = open('results.txt', "r")
# reads the information inside the file results
script_result = f.read()
