Cisco Meraki

Network Security

The Meraki adapter connects to the Cisco Meraki Dashboard to pull network device inventory, connected client lists, and device health statuses into Clariti for centralized network visibility.

What Clariti Collects

What You'll Need

  • Full administrator access to the Meraki Dashboard
  • API access enabled for your Meraki organization
  • ~3 minutes to complete setup
  • Your Clariti account with adapter management permissions

Get Your Credentials

First, ensure API access is enabled for your organization. In the Meraki Dashboard, go to Organization > Settings and confirm that Dashboard API access is set to "Enable access."

Next, generate your personal API key: click your email/profile in the top-right corner, go to My Profile, scroll down to the API access section, and click Generate API key. Copy the key immediately — Meraki only shows it once.

The API key inherits the permissions of your Meraki admin account. For least-privilege access, consider creating a dedicated read-only admin account for Clariti.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 Unauthorized — The API key may have been revoked. Generate a new key from your Meraki profile and update it in Clariti.
  • 403 Forbidden — Ensure Dashboard API access is enabled at the organization level and that the admin account has at least read-only access.
  • Timeout — Meraki enforces a rate limit of 10 requests per second. Clariti handles throttling automatically with retry logic.
