For Lumeta customers who have expressed interest in sending more complete device profile data to their Cisco Meraki Management Station, Lumeta now provides that capability through an API call. Device information from your Meraki platform to Lumeta.

How It Works

The Process

  1. Configure the Meraki integration in Lumeta.
  2. The Lumeta system calls the Meraki API and processes its response as follows:

    IF the device . . .THEN . . .AND . . .
    Does not exist on LumetaLumeta records the response with scan type "external" and adds the device to the Lumeta database. A device created by Meraki APIs follows same algorithm for target generation as any other scan typeAdds the attribute "externalSource" with the value "Meraki Management Station"

    Already exists on LumetaLumeta retains the device. The response entry on Lumeta includes the Lumeta scan type (e.g., Host Discovery) and "external" for the Meraki scan type. Lumeta Device Details shows both Host and External as the discovery scan type.





Get Devices from Meraki

To get list of devices managed by Meraki . . .



Enhance Device Data on Lumeta
