Creating a Meraki Device Lifecycle Report
Do you need to generate a simple customer report, showing which Meraki devices are approaching End of Service, and require replacement?
Once defined, you can run the report on a schedule, so each network customer can keep on top of their budgeting process.
Customise the report, add your logo, change the style or static text – this becomes your report, not a standard one-size-fits-all.
Follow these 5 steps to get your first report:
1. Download the Template
The Template is a Word Format DOCX file. Download and review it.
2. Edit and Submit
Open the DOCX file and make any adjustments that fit your style:
- Add your own logo
- Change the font
- Alter any of the static text, eg to a different language or style
Do not change any of the auto-generated content, marked in the file.
Once complete – submit the file back to us using the form below:
3. Configure Connection
Before we can generate this report for you – you will need to create a MagicSuite tenant and configure a Meraki connection.
To do this, simply sign-in using this link
To create the Meraki connection, you will need to generate a Read-Only Meraki API Key.
Full instructions are available here: https://docs.magicsuite.net/AdminApp/ConnectionsAndAgents/MerakiConnections
If you need help in this process – contact our friendly support team to help get this set up!
4. Let Panoramic Data work the Magic!
Once the connection is setup and working, we will provide the secret sauce:
- Upload your ReportMagic template
- Add the Macros
- Initialise a report job schedule
- Test and execute once
- Result to be saved in output folder in ReportMagic
- You will be notified once all this is complete, and receive a link to access the completed report
All this is normally done within 1 business day.
