I believe this post is the most up to date: An IPv6 State of Affairs

Is this list accurate as of the current approximate date: 2/05/15? I'm comparing various monitoring systems for a new build. What's the status of NTA, IPSLA, etc. ?

Is there an updated link for How to Apply Operating System (OS) Patches or Hotfixes with Minimal Interruptions​ ? I get redirected to the success center. Thanks!

It looks like it'd need to be a custom poller: SNMP Overview and Configuration - Cisco Meraki

You may be able to pull some extra info with OIDs and MIBs. If you have a development team, maybe they can hack something together. We also like the single pane of glass idea, and solarwinds does an amazing job compared to other products. As a managed services company, we [have to] get used to all the different systems…

No, all we needed was an IP, Hostname, and up/down status. Maybe check MIBs and OIDs?

I found out that the baseline needs to be older than the running config. After that, the widget seemed to update instantly for most entries. We'll try upgrading to 7.9 when we have a window.

We're also having this problem. NCM 7.7. It seems like the job stopped running or something, though it isn't listed under the jobs page. It's like it's a hidden job or something. Will open a support ticket for more info/resolution.

Correct, the API is something completely different. I'd use whatever IP the device has (it's whatever static/DHCP IP you give it). A static IP would be preferred so it doesn't change down the road and then all the polling info gets messed up. What type of device are you trying to monitor (MX appliance, switch, wap, etc)?

Not that I'm aware of. In our situation, we had to write a script to hit the API and create a list of devices that met our criteria. Here's the github for that script: GitHub - oldnotebook/Meraki-Uplink-Check: The script sends us a list of meraki devices that have uplinks listed as ‘fail… This page may be helpful for API…

Add the devices individually (add the IPs of the meraki devices). Don't add the dashboard to solarwinds. Adding the dashboard into solarwinds was basically useless for my purposes (alerting on nodes, etc).

I sit within a multi-tenancy environment that could have many customers using the same internal address ranges as well as the added complications of NAT to reach these addresses. This would be tricky / not possible. You might need a polling server on their network unless you have a way to hit each device accurately from…

The NPM/polling server will need to be on the same internal network as the client. Can your solarwinds server ping the internal ip of the meraki device (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x for example)? What type of device are you trying to add (wap, mx, ms, etc)?

That is pretty odd. :/ For our 65's I've only noticed the lack of port names. The SNMP names don't match the names on the chassis. Minor issue, but still -.-

Hello George, I poll the devices directly instead of going through Meraki's cloud. You'll add each node to solarwinds, and use the SNMP string that you defined under Network-wide>General. ​

^.^

How did you setup the community string in the Meraki dashboard? I usually set it up through Network-wide>General>Reporting or a similar location. I'd avoid the string that is set under Organization>Settings>SNMP (this string didn't work for my uses).

I had a similar situation, and I eventually figured it out. Here's a guide I wrote up: SNMP Polling Meraki Devices (NPM 11.0.1) - How To Hopefully this helps.

Me too.

Try opening the file with notepad. That should help

We've also noticed the weather forecasts are stuck. Seems to be an issue with openweathermap.org. We had to switch back to our old google map hack for up-to-date weather. It's not as pretty, and we didn't figure out device lists on that map. It works though.

Do you have a map on the page already?

Works great for me. Awesome work.

That's the same problem that I had. What you have to do is set the string, and version, under Network-wide>General. Then you can add the devices like a regular node. Here's a guide I wrote up: SNMP Polling Meraki Devices (NPM 11.0.1) - How To

Ovad, Look into groups and dependencies. I believe that is what you're looking for.
