Umbrella automation

[abrand1]

Hi,

I'm looking to further automate our Meraki MX automation for the Umbrella settings.
Right now, there very little in the official API : only enough to link the MX to the Umbrella dashboard.
In the early access API we can activate the protection (there's no getter though so I have to do it systematicaly and catch an HTTP 405 when it's already active).
BTW, there's a typo in the early access : the documented parameter is "enable", but the real parameter is "enabled".
Then even in the early access API, the dnsExcludeDomains always give a 404 error.
And there is no way to act on theUmbrella settings in the group policies.

Is it planned to work on these features anytime soon ?
I'm available for testing if needed.

Thanks !

Autoresponding to myself : this has moved from early access to official in API v1.71.
Stil missing the gettters ang group policies' Umbrella settings.

For Umbrella + Meraki, the cleanest split we've found is to drive Meraki via the Dashboard API and Umbrella via its own API, then orchestrate both from one workflow rather than making one own the other. Cisco Workflows is a solid low-code option if you'd rather not host scripts. What's the specific automation you're after, policy sync, network registration, or reporting? The right approach shifts a fair bit depending on the goal.

I wasn't suggesting to do otherwise, or any of the two owning the other.
I wrote about missing Meraki APIs functionnality to configure Meraki group policies options.
I need to be able to set different group policy options for different VLANs of the same MX devcie and those options happen to include the Umbrella policy.
This is 100% on Meraki side, nothing to do with Umbrella APIs.
