Key Capabilities
Live Diagnostics
| Operation | API Method | What It Does |
|-----------|-----------|--------------|
| Ping from device | createDeviceManagementInterfacePing | Run ping test from a Meraki device to a target IP |
| Ping results | getDeviceManagementInterfacePingResults | Retrieve ping results (latency, loss, jitter) |
| Cable test | createDeviceLiveToolsCableTest | Run cable diagnostics on switch ports |
| Cable results | getDeviceLiveToolsCableTestResults | Cable status: OK, open, short, length estimate |
| Blink LEDs | blinkDeviceLeds | Flash device LEDs for physical identification |
| Wake-on-LAN | wakeDeviceOnLan | Send WoL magic packet to wake a device |
Camera Analytics (MV)
| Operation | API Method | What It Does |
|-----------|-----------|--------------|
| Live analytics | getDeviceCameraAnalyticsLive | Real-time person/object detection counts |
| Analytics overview | getDeviceCameraAnalyticsOverview | Historical analytics summary over time period |
| Analytics zones | getDeviceCameraAnalyticsZones | Configured detection zones and their stats |
| Snapshot | generateDeviceCameraSnapshot | Capture a still image from a camera |
| Camera settings | getDeviceCameraVideoSettings | Video resolution, quality, recording mode |
| Quality profiles | getNetworkCameraQualityRetentionProfiles | Retention and quality settings |
| Camera Sense | getDeviceCameraSense | ML-based object/person detection config |
| Update Sense | updateDeviceCameraSense | [WRITE] Enable/disable Sense, MQTT, audio detection |
Audit & Tracking
| Operation | API Method | What It Does |
|-----------|-----------|--------------|
| Config changes | getOrganizationConfigurationChanges | Who changed what, when, on which network/device |
| API requests | getOrganizationApiRequests | API call history with caller, method, response code |
| Webhook logs | getOrganizationWebhookLogs | Webhook delivery success/failure tracking |
Workflow: Device Reachability Troubleshooting
When investigating "can the branch MX reach the data center?":
- Ping test:
createDeviceManagementInterfacePingfrom the branch MX to the DC IP - Wait for results:
getDeviceManagementInterfacePingResults— latency, packet loss, jitter - Uplinks:
getDeviceUplink(meraki-network-ops) — WAN link health - VPN status:
getNetworkVpnStatus(meraki-security-appliance) — tunnel state - Report: reachability analysis with latency baseline
Workflow: Physical Layer Troubleshooting
When investigating "port 12 isn't working on the switch":
- Cable test:
createDeviceLiveToolsCableTeston port 12 - Cable results:
getDeviceLiveToolsCableTestResults— OK, open, short, length - Port status:
getDeviceSwitchPortStatuses(meraki-switch-ops) — speed, duplex, errors - Blink LEDs:
blinkDeviceLedsto identify the physical switch if needed - Report: cable status (replace cable, check patch panel, bad port)
Workflow: Camera Monitoring
When auditing camera analytics:
- Live analytics:
getDeviceCameraAnalyticsLive— current person/vehicle counts - Zones:
getDeviceCameraAnalyticsZones— which zones are configured - Overview:
getDeviceCameraAnalyticsOverview— trends over time - Settings:
getDeviceCameraVideoSettings— resolution, quality - Quality:
getNetworkCameraQualityRetentionProfiles— retention policies - Report: camera analytics dashboard with trends and alert thresholds
Workflow: Configuration Change Audit
When investigating "who changed the firewall rules?":
- Config changes:
getOrganizationConfigurationChangeswith time filter - API requests:
getOrganizationApiRequests— was it an API call or Dashboard UI? - Filter: narrow by network, admin, or change type
- Correlate: match with ServiceNow CRs — was this an approved change?
- Report: change audit trail with admin identity, timestamp, and approval status
Integration with Other Skills
| Skill | How They Work Together |
|-------|----------------------|
| meraki-network-ops | Device/network context for diagnostics |
| meraki-switch-ops | Port status combined with cable test results |
| meraki-security-appliance | VPN status combined with ping reachability |
| meraki-wireless-ops | Signal quality combined with AP ping tests |
| packet-analysis | Meraki diagnostics + pcap analysis for deep investigation |
| gait-session-tracking | Record all diagnostic results and audit findings |
| servicenow-change-workflow | Correlate config changes with approved CRs |
Important Rules
- Ping tests run FROM the Meraki device — useful for testing reachability from the device's perspective
- Cable tests are non-disruptive — safe to run on live ports
- LED blinking is temporary — LEDs blink for the specified duration, then return to normal
- Camera analytics require MV cameras — not available on MR/MS/MX devices
- Config change audit is critical — every change should map to a ServiceNow CR
- Record in GAIT — log all diagnostic results and audit investigations
