Alert Config and Notifications

Overview

The Alert Configuration feature acts as your central hub for managing all alerts and notifications within Meraki. It gives you full control over your alerts, allowing you to enable or disable them, customize settings, mute notifications, and manage how you are notified across different channels.

You can set organization-wide alert preferences that apply to all networks, alert types, or notification channels. This flexibility ensures that you stay informed in the way that best suits your needs.

Note: This is an organization-level configuration tool and as such requires organization admin rights

The Alert Configuration page is accessed through the Configure Alerts button on the Organization Alerts page seen here:

 

The Alert Configuration landing page shows all the available alerts and their respective current settings. This is where you will begin your notification and configuration workflow.

Editing Preferences

Individual Edit

In order to edit a single entry you simply click the “pencil” icon at the end of the line, this will present you with an editing modal to make your changes.  Here you can enable/disable (mute) the alert, as well as enable/disable the email and webhook channels, and finally define which email recipients and/or webhook receivers you want to be notified. You will receive a notification “toast” that indicates the success or failure of your configuration.

Bulk Edit

You also have the ability to bulk edit alerts.  This is useful for setting preferences for a series of alerts to address site-specific contacts and events; like muting alerts that will be triggered during maintenance windows. Upon selecting the bulk edit box a new blue banner appears above the table indicating how many alerts are selected. It also provides dropdowns to quickly select email or webhook preferences as well as enable/disable status.
