Automate Meraki Network Health Monitoring with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the monitoring of your Meraki network health by fetching organization and network data, then analyzing latency and packet loss. It identifies and flags potentially problematic sites for proactive issue resolution.
About This Workflow
Gain critical insights into your Meraki network performance with this powerful n8n workflow. It begins by retrieving all your Meraki organizations and then systematically fetches network IDs for each. The workflow then intelligently merges this data with latency and packet loss metrics, transforming raw API outputs into easily digestible information. Advanced JavaScript nodes calculate average latency and loss over a 5-minute window, enabling you to set custom thresholds for identifying underperforming network segments. This automated process empowers you to quickly pinpoint and address potential network issues before they impact your users, ensuring optimal network stability and performance.
Key Features
- Automated Meraki Data Retrieval: Seamlessly pull organization and network information directly from the Meraki API.
- Real-time Performance Metrics: Collect and process latency and packet loss data for your networks.
- Intelligent Data Merging: Combine organizational and network details with performance metrics for a comprehensive view.
- Proactive Issue Identification: Automatically calculate average latency and loss, filtering for sites exceeding defined thresholds.
- Customizable Thresholds: Easily adjust latency (e.g., 300ms) and loss (e.g., 2%) thresholds within the workflow.
How To Use
- Trigger: Start the workflow by clicking "Execute Workflow" in n8n.
- Get Meraki Organizations: Configure the "Get Meraki Organizations" node with your Meraki API credentials (HTTP Header Authentication is recommended) to fetch a list of your organizations.
- Get Org Name & ID: This node automatically transforms the output from the previous step, renaming 'name' to 'CompanyName' and 'id' to 'OrgID' for clarity.
- Get Network IDs: This node dynamically constructs API calls using the 'OrgID' to retrieve all networks associated with each organization.
- Combine Latency to its Respective Network: This node merges the network information with latency and loss data, matching on 'NetworkID' and 'networkId'.
- Makes Latency and Loss Filterable: This node standardizes the output by renaming key fields like 'lossPercent' and 'latencyMs' to more readable names (e.g., 'TS0-Loss', 'TS0-Latency').
- Average Latency & Loss over 5m: This JavaScript node calculates the average packet loss and latency over the last 5 data points for each network.
- Filters Problematic Sites: This JavaScript node applies your defined thresholds (e.g., >300ms latency or >2% loss) to filter for networks that are performing poorly.
