Prometheus exporter for Cisco Meraki Dashboard API metrics

Project description

Meraki Dashboard Exporter

FOSSA Status

A Prometheus exporter for Cisco Meraki Dashboard API metrics with OpenTelemetry support.

Features

  • Collects metrics from all Meraki device types (MS, MR, MV, MT, MX, MG)
  • Organization-level metrics (API usage, licenses, device counts)
  • Device-specific metrics (status, performance, sensor readings)
  • Async collection for improved performance
  • OpenTelemetry support for metrics and logs
  • Structured logging with JSON output
  • Docker support with health checks
  • Configurable collection intervals

Quick Start

Using Docker

  1. Copy .env.example to .env and add your Meraki API key:

    cp .env.example .env
    # Edit .env and add your MERAKI_API_KEY
    
  2. Run with Docker Compose:

    docker-compose up -d
    
  3. Access metrics at http://localhost:9099/metrics

Using Python

  1. Install dependencies:

    uv pip install -e .
    
  2. Set environment variables:

    export MERAKI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
    
  3. Run the exporter:

    python -m meraki_dashboard_exporter
    

Configuration

All configuration is done via environment variables. See .env.example for all available options.
