Cloud Monitoring End of Service - Transition to Cloud Management - Configuration Source: Device
Cloud Monitoring End-of-Service Extended to March 31, 2026 : The end-of-service date for Cloud Monitoring has been extended by two months from January 31, 2026 to March 31, 2026, to allow customers additional time to complete their upgrade process. All other terms remain unchanged.
Required Actions for Switches Not Migrated by March 31
Switches not migrated to device configuration mode before March 31 (Cloud Monitoring decommission) will not have their configurations removed automatically as part of the offboarding process and will require manual cleanup of the cloud monitoring specific configuration. To avoid manual intervention, complete all steps outlined in the Required Actions for Switches Not Migrating to Configuration Source: Device Before March 31 section of this documentation.

Cloud Montioring for Catalyst is transitioning to configuration source: device and all Cloud Monitoring switches must transition by March 31, 2026.
All new Catalyst switches must now be onboarded directly into configuration Source: device (17.15.3+) via the Dashboard; the onboarding application for Cloud Monitoring is no longer available.
After this date, cloud monitoring switches will gradually appear offline in the dashboard over the next few weeks, but device operations will continue without any impact.
End of Service Milestones
| May 1, 2025 | Starting this day, only dashboard organizations with existing Cloud Monitoring switches onboarded to Dashboard can onboard to Cloud Monitoring with the onboarding application. New dashboard organizations must onboard Catalyst switches with configuration source: device (17.15.3+). Cloud Management with IOS XE |
| November 1, 2025 | This is the last day any dashboard organization can onboard to cloud monitoring with the onboarding application. After this date, all Catalyst switches must be onboarded with configuration source: device (17.15.3+) via the Dashboard. Cloud Management with IOS XE |
| March 31, 2026 (Extended date) | Last day Cloud Monitoring switching features will function. Cloud Monitoring switches that have not transitioned to configuration source: device (17.15.3+) will be marked disconnected in the dashboard. There will be no impact to device operations. |
How to transition to Cloud Management - Configuration Source: Device
Instructions for upgrading from Cloud Monitoring to cloud management with device configuration are available at Upgrading Cloud-Monitored Switches to Cloud Management with Device Configuration. For a guided walkthrough on how to upgrade to device configuration mode, view this video tutorial.
Required Actions for Switches Not Migrating to Configuration Source: Device Before March 31st (Cloud Monitoring Decommission)
Switches not migrated to device configuration mode before March 31 will not have their configurations removed automatically as part of the offboarding process and will require manual cleanup of the cloud monitoring specific configuration. To avoid manual intervention, complete all steps outlined below before March 31:
-
Remove the desired switch(es) from Dashboard networks (for details, see Offboarding/Removing Switches from Cloud Monitoring).
-
Wait 10-15 minutes for the dashboard integration configurations to be automatically removed. This will remove any active tunnel connections to the Meraki Cloud.
