Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:
Remark |
Description |
---|---|
Enabled organization API access |
This sensor requires that you enable the access of an organization to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API. If the API access for an organization is disabled, you must enable it manually. For more information, see Cisco Meraki Dashboard API: Enable API Access. |
API key |
This sensor requires an API key with Cisco Meraki Dashboard API permissions. The API key that this sensor uses must inherit the permissions of a Cisco Meraki Dashboard Administrator account with at least Read-only admin permissions. The API key inherits the permissions of the Cisco Meraki Dashboard Administrator account that was used to generate the API key. |
Credentials |
This sensor requires credentials for Cisco Meraki. |
IPv6 |
This sensor supports IPv6. |
Performance impact |
This sensor has a very low performance impact. |
Scanning interval |
|
Multi-platform probe |
You can add this sensor to a multi-platform probe. |
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
- cisco
- meraki
For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.

Primary Channel |
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor. You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab. |
Graph Type |
Define how this sensor shows different channels:
|
Stack Unit |
This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above. Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so. |
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Result Handling |
Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:
This option is not available when the sensor runs on the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance. In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node. |
By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.
For more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.
