New Features (7)
| Ticket | Severity | Summary | Notes | Version | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS-22968 | Blocker | DataMagic: add POE, CDP, DUPLEX status to Meraki access points (APs) | Meraki access point monitoring now includes wired uplink details: PoE power status, ethernet link speed and duplex. These appear on the device list and in the device details view. | 4.4.381 | |
| MS-24736 | Critical | DataMagic: Wireless Health Overview | The new Wireless Health overview page gives you an at-a-glance view of how your Meraki wireless is performing. Open it from the Dashboards section in the menu and pick a network, or a single access point, from the selector at the top. You get: 1) an overall health score, with separate ratings for RF, connection, performance and network service. 2) a connection funnel showing where connection attempts drop off (association, authentication, DHCP or DNS). 3) trend lines for latency, signal quality and data rate, over anything from the last 6 hours to the last 2 months. 4) every access point in the network, sorted worst-health-first so trouble spots stand out. Click an access point for its packet loss, per-radio utilisation and latency, and its own trends. Click a step in the connection funnel to see the failures logged at that step, including the access points and clients most affected. | 4.4.748 | |
| MS-24717 | Critical | DataMagic: Wireless Health - per-access-point performance metrics (packet loss and channel utilisation) | Wireless Health now reports packet loss and channel utilisation for each individual access point, not just the network as a whole. Drill into an access point to see how much traffic it is losing and how congested its radio channels are over time, making it easy to pinpoint an access point that is underperforming. | 4.4.651 | |
| MS-24718 | Critical | DataMagic: Wireless Health - per-access-point signal quality (SNR / RSSI) | Wireless Health now shows per-access-point signal quality - signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, in dB) and received signal strength (RSSI, in dBm). Together with packet loss and channel utilisation, you can see how strong and clean the wireless signal is at each individual access point, and chart SNR or RSSI over time for a whole network or a single access point. | 4.4.651 | |
| MS-24804 | Major | DataMagic: Wireless Health - estate-wide rollup and worst-networks ranking | The Wireless Health Overview page now covers your whole estate, not just one network at a time. Choose an organisation, or start from the whole estate, to see an overall health summary and its networks ranked with the ones needing attention at the top, then select any network to open its own dashboard. At organisation level you also get the health gauge, connection funnel and trends rolled up across all of that organisation's networks. | 4.4.748 | |
| MS-18669 | Major | DataMagic: the Organization icon in the estate should be a red key if the API key is invalid | Organisations whose Meraki API key has become invalid are now flagged with a red key icon in the Estate tree, so you can see at a glance which organisations need their API key updated (via the relevant Connection in the Admin app). | 4.4.563 | |
| MS-24578 | Major | DataMagic: raise datamagic_wan_uplink_down/up AlertMagic events on appliance uplink status transitions, giving minutes-level detection of hard-down circuits | DataMagic can now alert within minutes when a WAN circuit fails on a Meraki appliance, even when the appliance itself stays online by failing over to its other uplink. Two new events - 'WAN uplink went down' and 'WAN uplink came up' - can be enabled per organization alongside the existing DataMagic events and are sent to AlertMagic in the same way. Previously, such circuit failures were only detectable through the hourly link-quality statistics, which could take an hour or more to reflect a hard failure. | 4.4.559 |
Improvements (6)
| Ticket | Severity | Summary | Notes | Version | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS-24976 | Critical | DataMagic: score the wireless connection funnel by percentage of clients affected, not failed-attempt counts | Wireless Health now scores how well clients connect by the percentage of clients that got on the wireless, rather than by counts of failed connection attempts. A single misconfigured device retrying in a loop can no longer drag a whole network's score down, and networks where a real share of clients quietly fail to connect are no longer hidden behind a healthy-looking attempt count. This flows through the Connection and Network Service cards, the overall health score and the worst-networks ranking. Networks with only a handful of clients in the chosen period are shown as no-data rather than given a misleading rating. The wireless-health data page also gains a new Client Connection chart and new trend lines for clients connected, packet loss and channel utilisation. | 4.4.886 | |
| MS-25004 | Critical | Meraki Wireless Health library report: score the Connection Funnel by percentage of clients connected, not failed-attempt counts | The Meraki Wireless Health report's Connection Funnel now scores each network by the percentage of clients that successfully connected, rather than by counts of failed connection attempts. This stops a single faulty device that keeps retrying from dragging a network's score down while everyone else is connecting normally, giving a truer view of how reliably clients get onto your wireless. Networks with fewer than five clients in the period are shown as no-data rather than being rated. | 4.4.886 | |
| MS-24480 | Major | Improve the DataMagic estate item view experience with rich dashboard dialogs | The View button for devices, networks, clients and other estate items now opens a colour-coded dashboard pop-up that shows the important details at a glance and works well on mobile. Click the blue eye icon that is shown on most of the estate pages. | 4.4.381 | |
| MS-24526 | Major | DataMagic: Estate tables should let you show columns by group (e.g. Performance, Wireless, Addressing) | Estate tables (Devices, Ports, Networks, Clients, VPN Peers, and others) now show a column-group selector above each table. Choose a group to focus on just the columns you need, or select "All" to see every column as before. Key identifying columns stay visible no matter which group you pick. | 4.4.465 | |
| MS-21153 | Major | DataMagic: License Expiration Dates should contain data where appropriate | Devices on organisations that use co-term Meraki licensing now show a meaningful licence expiry instead of a blank. A new "Effective License Expiry" column on the Devices page (and the device detail dashboard) shows the device's own expiry where it has one, otherwise falls back to the organisation-wide expiry, flagged with an "org-wide" badge. | 4.4.465 | |
| MS-24497 | Minor | DataMagic: remove the no-op API Key and URL fields from the Organization edit form | The API Key and URL fields are no longer displayed on the Organization edit and view form in Admin > Organizations and Estate > Organizations. All other Organization fields remain editable as before in Admin > Organizations. The API key, URL, and region for an organization are now managed solely through the Connection record on the Admin App > Connections page. | 4.4.399 |
Bugs Fixed (6)
| Ticket | Severity | Summary | Notes | Version | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS-24549 | Critical | DataMagic: Network Events should fetch data and show in the UI | Improved the reliability of Network Events data collection in DataMagic for newly added Meraki connections, preventing a possible situation where the Network Events page could remain empty. | 4.4.677 | |
| MS-24515 | Major | Device secondary DNS IP should be displayed | Device details now show the secondary DNS server address alongside the primary one. Previously only the primary DNS was displayed. | 4.4.414 | |
| MS-19673 | Major | Transient duplicate-serial devices should not fail the network clients update | Fixed a rare issue where a temporary duplicate device record (same serial number) could briefly interrupt the refresh of a network's connected-client information. Device lookups now resolve to the current device, so client data keeps updating normally in this situation. | 4.4.493 | |
| MS-18570 | Major | WirelessEthernetStatusPort0LinkNegotiationDuplex and WirelessEthernetStatusPort0LinkNegotiationSpeedMbps should be set on a Device | Wireless access points now show their ethernet uplink speed and duplex (read from Port 0) on the Devices page. These Speed and Duplex columns were previously always blank for access points. Note that a small number of access points will still show blank values: Cisco Meraki does not always report a negotiated speed or duplex, even for an access point that is online and powered over Ethernet. In those cases the blank reflects the data available from Meraki, not a problem with the access point or with Magic Suite. | 4.4.850 | |
| MS-24876 | Minor | DataMagic: the "Beta" label for the Wireless Health menu item should be in the correct place in mobile view | Fixed the "Beta" label on DataMagic's Wireless Health menu item showing in the wrong place on narrow screens and mobile devices. | 4.4.850 | |
| MS-24365 | Minor | DataMagic/Licensing (Co-Term): Status column should not be orderable and filterable (description changed - see comments) | The Status column in the Co-Term Licensing table is no longer sortable or filterable. This column combines two separate properties to produce its display value, meaning sorting and filtering never worked as expected - results would appear in the wrong order or include records that shouldn't match. The column has been made display-only to avoid confusion. | 4.4.318 |
