NCM for Meraki

AKUU 2 months ago

Hello all. After a some searching I can see some older threads (5y) regarding Merkai integration to NCM. I've taken a look at the Meraki site and can see that a range of vendors provide this capability utilising the Meraki API. This includes Solarwinds N-Able.

So the question is, are we going to see this made available for NCM any time soon or has anyone successfully put together a config management bolt on specifically for Meraki MX devices and SD-WAN?

Thanks for reading.

We should be able to backup the Edge devices today via normal CLI methods, but yes, we do have on our roadmap to support backup via API as well.

The thing is there is no "normal" vendor supplied CLI access to a Meraki kit. Only a 3rd party python CLI option or an API but we can't use the API as a connection credential which results in a huge task to run up a python host and install/configure the 3rd party CLI app, or otherwise a large amount of work to try to create an API driven template to perform the backups. And of course we can't monitor config changes, or config compliance etc.
