To add a Cisco Meraki organization to Netreo so that Netreo can detect and add its devices for monitoring, follow the steps in the procedure below.
During configuration, you will be required to provide the organization ID and API key, as provided to you in your Cisco Meraki account.
curl -L -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: ' -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/organizations'
In order for Netreo to properly detect and add your Meraki managed devices, you must ensure that SNMP is turned on for each device. and provide proper credentials to Netreo in a device template. If you do not turn on SNMP or provide correct credentials, Netreo will only monitor up/down status for your devices.
Add a Cisco Meraki Organization to Netreo
- Log in to Netreo as a user with the SuperAdmin access level.
- If your Cisco Meraki devices use a different set of log in credentials than those stored in the "Default" device template; for each additional set of credentials required, create a new device template and add the necessary credentials to it. (See here for more information about storing device credentials in device templates.)
- From the main menu, select Administration >> Modules >> Cloud Services to navigate to the Cloud Services Administration page.
- Locate the Meraki section and click the Add Meraki button. (Currently, Netreo supports only one organization for monitoring.)
- In the pop-up dialog that appears:
- In the NAME field, enter a unique name to identify this organization within Netreo.
- In the API KEY field, enter your Cisco Meraki API key.
- In the ORGANIZATION ID field, enter the ID of the organization managing the devices that you wish to monitor.
- It is recommended to leave the USE SSL option checked unless you have specific security issues that prevent its use.
- For the DEVICE TYPE DISCOVERY options, select the types of devices present in your organization that you wish to monitor. (You may deselect any device types that you do not wish Netreo to monitor. These options may be edited at any time.)
- Click the Save button.
Netreo will shortly begin detecting the devices in your organization and adding them as managed devices for monitoring. Repeat the above steps for each organization you wish to add.
