Cisco Meraki is now a featured integration in BrightGauge! Below, you will find the steps required to connect this Integration to your BrightGauge account.
Important Note: There are some limitations regarding how much historical data is returned via a handful of the datasets. Please refer to the following article for more information:
Cisco Meraki Historical Data Limitations
Log in to your BrightGauge Account
If you have not yet created an account, go here to get started.
After you are logged in:
- New Accounts
On first login, from the Account Overview page, click on the Add a Datasource button:
- Existing Accounts
From the Account Overview page (to access, click on the BrightGauge logo in the top left-hand corner), click on the Add a new Datasource button next to the list of your existing datasources:
Or, click on Data in the top right corner of the screen and select Datasources:
You can find the Cisco Meraki datasource under All or under the category it belongs to. In this case, we can find Cisco Meraki under Security:
Configure the Datasource
Whether a new account or an existing, clicking on the Cisco Meraki datasource logo brings you to the page below.
Once here, you will need to enter a name for the Datasource (do not confuse this with your Cisco Meraki username), most will simply put "Cisco Meraki." Next, we will need to generate an API key to authenticate the connection.
To generate your X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key, please refer to the following steps:
- Enable API Access within Cisco Meraki -
-
For access to the API, first enable the API for your organization under Organization > Settings > Dashboard API access.
-
- After enabling the API, go to the my profile page to generate an API key. This API key will be associated with the Dashboard Administrator account which generates it, and will inherit the same permissions as that account.
- Once you generate your API key, simply enter it into the X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key box.
Test Connection
Make sure to test the connection. If successful, you can save the connection which will start the flow of data into your account.
Dashboards, reports, datasets, and gauges will be added to your account after the datasource is saved. They start syncing immediately and typically complete syncing after 20-30 minutes.
Default Dashboards & Reports
- Cisco Meraki | Device Statistics
- Cisco Meraki | Monitoring
- Cisco Meraki | Network Stats
For a list of all default gauges, please visit the Gauges section of your account, sort by the Datasource you'd like to see, and select for Default.
If you have any questions, please contact Support by selecting Help > Open a Ticket from the top menu bar.
