Monitor Cisco Meraki with Datadog

Cisco Meraki offers various IT infrastructure devices such as network security appliances, switches, and wireless access points. Datadog's new Meraki integration collects event logs and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) metrics from Meraki network devices to provide comprehensive visibility into the health and performance of these devices. The integration includes device autodiscovery and automatic ingestion of metrics like packet error count and data throughput. Datadog also tags incoming Meraki metrics with device names and product codes for better organization and flexibility in monitoring. Additionally, it allows forwarding of Meraki event logs to Datadog's log stream for real-time tracking of network devices' status, performance, and connection volume. This integration extends Datadog's SNMP support for on-prem network devices and complements its Network Performance Monitoring product for cloud-based network traffic data insights.
