Question

Greetings.&nbsp; To facilitate real-time communications and alerting, we are actively developing a new capability to collect webhook event data from third party cloud platforms like Cisco Meraki, Catalyst Center, Intersight...Juniper Mist, HPE Aruba Central...If you're interested in providing feedback, beta testing, or being an early adopter, please DM me.

In our engineering environment, I am now actively getting real-time communications from the Cisco Meraki Dashboard into LM Logs via Webhook Event Collection. In the Meraki Dashboard I’ve setup a Webhook Template to format the messages the way I want and added a new Webhook Receiver that points to an API ingest URL for the specific LogicMonitor with a Bearer Token to for authentication. With this in place, alerts that used to go to my email can additionally or instead go to LM Logs. In my preliminary testing, the message delivery is fairly instantaneous.

Hi Patrick.&nbsp; This sounds interesting. We've had requests from our network team to do exactly this from meraki.We had considered writing our own API endpoint which could resend webhooks from Meraki into LM Logs API. Sounds like this would save us a job!

This is pretty cool.&nbsp; And I like that it uses bearer tokens. 🤩

In our QA environment, this a webhook from our Cisco Meraki Dashboard looks like in LogicMonitor. I'd love to hear any feedback about the message formatting, so I might consider including it in our official Cisco Meraki Webhook Template.
