Anybody else disabling Meraki instances by default?
If you are, I’d like to know if you’re experiencing the problem we are that LM has tried and failed to troubleshoot: For some random reason, a number of meraki instances disappear from LM during one discovery cycle and reappear during the next discovery cycle. This isn’t normally a big problem since they instances aren’t set to delete until 30 days. Normally, they’d just show back up and have a gap in data. However, in our casewe have a business need to have the instances disabled on discovery (we charge the customer per Meraki device we actively monitor). This means that instances that have been discovered and enabled for monitoring randomly disappear and reappear as disabled instances. Also, any customer instance level properties that were added to the instance also are not present on the rediscovered instance. In the last 3 hours, there have been 3,577 instances (out of somewhere around 18,000) that disappeared and reappeared in this way. The problem was so pervasive that I had to write a script to loop through all instances and enable them based on a master billing sheet.Solved344Views14likes11Comments
