Meraki SA Clients Throughput Test

For each client accessing the security appliance connected to the target Cisco Meraki, this test reports the amount of data sent and received. Using this test, administrators can identify the client sending/receiving the maximum amount of data.

Target of the test : A Cisco Meraki

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Network:Security Appliance:Client connected to the target Cisco Meraki being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The URL to access the dashboard of the Cisco Meraki to be monitored.
Port	The port at which the specified Host listens. By default, this will be NULL.
API Key	The eG agent collects the required metrics from the target Cisco Meraki by executing API commands using Dashboard API and pulls out critical metrics. In order to collect metrics, the eG agent should be provided with a valid API key. To know how to generate the API key, refer to Pre-requisites for Monitoring Cisco Meraki. Specify the generated API key in this text box.
Show Min Data in KBps	By default, this test reports metrics for each client connected to the target Cisco Meraki Controller. In environments where hundreds of clients are connected to the target Cisco Meraki Controller, administrators often found it difficult to find the clients of their interest or failed to locate those clients that are crucial from a monitoring perspective. To ease the pain of such administrators, the clients that are displayed as descriptors can be filtered based on the rate at which data was sent from / received by each client using this parameter. By default, this parameter is set to 1 indicating that this test will consider those clients as descriptors only when the rate at which the data was sent from / received by those clients is greater than or equal to 1 KB/sec.
SSL	By default, the target Cisco Meraki is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Sent data	Indicates the rate at which data was sent from this client during the last measurement period.	KB/sec	Compare the value of this measure across the clients to figure out the client through which maximum amount of data was sent.
Received data	Indicates the rate at which data was received by this client during the last measurement period.	KB/sec	Compare the value of this measure across the clients to figure out the client that received the maximum amount of data.
