Organization Summary
Overview
The Summary page helps you manage your organization's networks. It shows a clear overview of your devices and highlights issues that need attention. The page provides key information about each network, helping you focus on critical tasks and improve network performance by showing details for all Cisco Meraki devices and networks.
To access the Summary page, navigate to Organization > Monitor > Summary, in your Meraki Dashboard.
Only dashboard connectivity-related alerts are reflected on this page, such as Device(s) VLAN Mismatch, Misconfigured DNS and Bad IP Assignment Configuration, offline devices etc. In comparison, the Organization > Alerts page provides more granular view: Organization Alerts and Alert Hub.
Devices
This section provides an overview of the status of all devices within the organization. This summary includes a clear distinction between online and offline devices, using color-coded indicators for easy identification: green for online devices and red for offline devices. This visual representation allows administrators to quickly assess the health of their networks and identify any issues that need immediate attention. Additionally, the summaries offer a snapshot of the overall network performance, making monitoring and maintaining network stability easier.
- Click an Alerting Card under the Devices section to view details about the device with issues and its associated network.
Networks
This section shows a detailed listing of all networks. It includes summarized data on various aspects such as the number of clients connected, data usage, and the Network tags assigned to each network. This information is crucial for understanding the overall network traffic and identifying patterns or anomalies. Additionally, from this page administrators can select a network to delve deeper into its specific status and obtain more detailed information. This feature enables more granular network performance analysis and helps make informed decisions for network optimization and troubleshooting.
Organization Assurance Public Beta
You can enable a new landing page that offers an assurance-focused view. This page shows your organization's network health, highlights problematic networks, and lets you quickly find specific issues at the network level. It complements the Assurance Overview page by providing an organization-level view of your network health.
This feature is being enabled gradually through a measured rollout. If your organization is eligible, you will see a toggle in the top right corner of the page to turn the new experience on or off. You can switch back to the original interface at any time during the beta period.
You can enable or disable the beta using a switch in Organization > Configure > Early Access.
This is an organization level configuration.
Device Status
This section provides an overview of the status of all devices within your organization. It allows you to easily monitor and quickly identify problematic devices, including devices that are currently offline or were previously offline. There are 3 different statuses:
- Online: currently online
- Offline: currently offline
- Recovered: previously offline during the time frame selected, but is currently online
- Click a device link to open a side drawer that shows offline and recovered devices, their networks, and their connectivity status for the selected time range.
Organization Insights
This section provides a snapshot of the organization's health across networks including trends and insights. It summarizes how many networks are impacted with a poor or fair network health score. Additionally, it highlights trending networks with the largest drop in the network health score, helping you identify degrading networks. The Organization Insights section provides an executive summary so you can quickly scan and monitor your organization health in a few seconds.
Networks by Health Score
This section lists all networks in your organization with the overall network health score and the individual score components: clients, network devices, infrastructure connectivity, and applications (Configure ThousandEyes on your Meraki MX). It allows you to easily identify the network with the lowest health score and the specific issue at the network level. You can search, filter, and sort to facilitate more efficient troubleshooting. The network table provides the detailed views you need to troubleshoot and quickly evaluate networks.
- Click the ">" icon next to the network name to expand the table and view a snapshot of that network's health. This helps you identify specific issues and see how many clients, devices, or applications are affected.
This view shows only the top issue affecting the most clients. The Infrastructure connectivity section is an exception and displays the highest device or technology affected, following the order: WAN >> VPN >> LAN >> RF. For example, if both WAN and VPN are impacted, the view shows only WAN.
The expandable section helps you troubleshoot multiple networks quickly and find the root cause in a few clicks.
- Click the network name (left column) or the 'View network' hyperlink (top right of expanded section) to navigate to the Network Assurance Overview page for deeper troubleshooting. Find more details on the Network Assurance Overview page.
