CISCO Meraki Web API

About

The CISCO Meraki Web API connector enables the monitoring of Cisco Meraki environments through the Meraki Dashboard API and webhook notifications.

API-based monitoring: Retrieve Meraki data over HTTPS from the Meraki Dashboard API.
Webhook-based alarm ingestion: Receive and process real-time Meraki alerts through a configurable webhook endpoint.
Alarm lifecycle handling: Store incoming alerts and optionally clear alarms automatically when they expire.
Operational visibility: Track network and device alerts from a central DataMiner element.

For detailed setup and behavior information for each version range, refer to the technical help page.

Challenge: Meraki alerts are distributed across Dashboard views and are difficult to monitor centrally in an NOC workflow.

Solution: Use the connector to collect webhook alerts and display them in DataMiner alarm-focused views.

Benefit: Improve operational awareness by consolidating Meraki alerting into a single monitoring platform.

Challenge: Incident handling is delayed when alerts are not automatically ingested and normalized.

Solution: Configure webhook reception and shared-secret validation so alerts are captured and processed immediately.

Benefit: Reduce mean time to detect and respond to network events.

DataMiner connectivity to api.meraki.com over HTTPS is required for API polling modes.
Meraki Dashboard access with API permissions is required to generate and manage API keys.
Webhook network reachability is required for webhook modes so the Meraki cloud can reach the configured endpoint.
Certificate configuration is required when HTTPS is used for webhook reception.
