Why Cisco Meraki?
Countless companies have already discovered the many benefits of the cloud-managed Cisco Meraki network. In particular, the cloud-based network platform is popular among small to medium-sized companies thanks to the following advantages:
- Cisco Meraki is powerful and reliable: Its WLAN connections are extremely fast, which makes it ideal for digital workplaces and allows for the network experience to be optimized for employees and customers.
- Cisco Meraki is fully scalable: Any number of locations can be integrated – whether it be a single branch or thousands of offices. The platform therefore grows with companies.
- Security updates are made available immediately and protect the cloud network around the clock. Companies are therefore subject to fewer security threats and attacks.
Simply put, Cisco Meraki products are fantastic – and as we’ll see below, deserve round-the-clock monitoring.
Why should you monitor Cisco Meraki?
Detection
Prevent downtime by quickly spotting problems related to the availability of the Cisco Meraki network. Stop interruptions before they have a chance to arise.
Monitoring and analysis
Identify bottlenecks by continuously monitoring and analyzing the use of bandwidth. By doing so, you’ll prevent applications and software from running too slowly for customers and employees, and thereby optimize the productivity of your company.
Capacity planning
A monitoring tool also lets you keep a constant eye on the performance and load of your Cisco Meraki environment. Among other things, this enables you to optimize your capacity planning by expanding (or reducing) your IT infrastructure at just the right time.

PRTG Cisco Meraki sensors at a glance
How PRTG defines sensors
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, e.g. the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, the free space of a disk drive. On average you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Cisco Meraki License sensor
The Cisco Meraki License sensor monitors your company's Meraki licenses via the Cisco Meraki dashboard API. This convenient sensor displays the number and type of licenses you have, and how many days are left until they expire.
Cisco Meraki Network Health sensor
The Cisco Meraki Network Health sensor monitors the health of Cisco Meraki network devices via the Cisco Meraki dashboard API. This sensor displays the status of:
- IoT devices
- Meraki radio (MR) devices
- Meraki switching (MS) devices
- Meraki security (MX) devices
- Uplinks
PRTG is compatible with all major vendors and manufacturers
