REST-API-based monitoring for Cisco Meraki devices
- Check the availability of your Cisco Meraki switches, wireless devices, security appliances, and cameras from the cloud. Receive real-time alerts when your devices go down and obtain better control over your Cisco Meraki environment.
- Track the response time and packet loss of your security appliances, configure thresholds and receive alerts at these metric levels, and receive alerts through the ITSM tools that your organization uses.
- REST-API-based monitoring directly queries from the Meraki dashboard API, eliminating the need to install a probe. You can also visualize your devices using Meraki Map view.
