Why does getNetworkTraffic API have no source information?

I do not see the source information from the example. In the Traffic analysis settings, the detailed option is to collect destination hostnames.

Traffic analytics has no source, also not in the dashboard

Thanks for your answer. Do you know if Meraki has a plan on the roadmap to provide source information as well as timestamp, to make traffic analysis data more suitable for SIEM data?

I dont know that, but api is also rate limited, not sure if that is the way to go.

maybe its better to collect the flows using syslog or netflow.
