SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides live diagnostics and monitoring capabilities for Cisco Meraki devices, enabling quick troubleshooting and operational insights without needing direct access to the Meraki dashboard.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live Diagnostics: Perform ping tests from devices, run cable tests on switch ports, and blink device LEDs for physical identification.
  • Camera Analytics: Access real-time and historical data from Meraki cameras, including person/object detection and snapshot generation.
  • Configuration Auditing: Track configuration changes and API requests within an organization.
  • Use Case: When a user reports connectivity issues at a branch office, this Skill can ping a target IP from the branch's Meraki device, test the physical cable on the relevant switch port, and check for recent configuration changes that might have caused the outage.

Quick Start

Use the meraki-monitoring skill to run a cable test on switch port 5 of device serial number Q2XX-XXXX-XXXX.
