Question 1

How do I configure Cisco Meraki syslog to LogCentral?

Accepted Answer

With our integration, setup is completed from LogCentral in a few clicks—no Meraki Dashboard changes required. We provision dedicated syslog targets per location and configure the relevant roles and destinations via the Meraki API.

Question 2

Which Meraki log types are supported?

Accepted Answer

All roles/streams are supported. Typical ones include flows, security events, URLs, wireless, appliance, switch, and Systems Manager logs.

Question 3

What transport and security are supported?

Accepted Answer

UDP is supported today with dedicated ports per location. TLS syslog is coming soon.

Question 4

How should I size throughput and retention?

Accepted Answer

With LogCentral you can change plans easily; storage and retention are managed for you. Running your own log server usually requires capacity planning for hardware, storage, and peak EPS.

Question 5

Where are the syslog settings in the Meraki Dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Not required when using the LogCentral integration. If you need to review them, go to Organization → Configure → Syslog servers (or Network-wide → General → Reporting → Syslog servers).
