MI Internet Outages Overview
Summary
This feature provides a global overview of network outages in service providers around the world. It is meant to give a quick overview of the down status of the internet to help mitigate WAN down issues and de-escalate Sev1 tickets in a timely manner. The map identifies the provider, location, duration, and scale of detected outages based on telemetry collected from thousands of vantage points located around the globe. The Portal is updated every minute.
When an IT admin wants to understand if the user problem is within his control to solve it, he needs to have the right tools to help understand the problem at hand. The Internet Outage portal within Meraki Insight is a tool that helps answer the question of whether this problem is a network only or widespread? If I can solve it myself or should I call my provider, and if my service is stable.
