[Meraki.WirelessNetworkLatencyList:]
Outputs Meraki wireless network latency data.
Purpose
Outputs Meraki wireless network latency data. When property=RawDistribution is used, output is in the form: BackgroundTraffic^latency bucket 0^latency bucket 1^latency bucket 2^latency bucket 4^latency bucket 8^latency bucket 16^latency bucket 32^latency bucket 64^latency bucket 128^latency bucket 256^latency bucket 512^latency bucket 1024^latency bucket 2048;. This is repeated for each of the traffic types ('BackgroundTraffic', 'BestEffortTraffic', 'VideoTraffic' or 'VoiceTraffic'). When property=Avg is used, output is in the form: average for background traffic^average for best effort traffic^average for video traffic^average for voice traffic.
Macro Compatibility
The macro can be used in all input document types and in Report Studio.
Usage
Only use date parameters (startDate, endDate) that fall in the last 180 days, or a macro error will be generated. When using timespan, a maximum of 7 days (in seconds) is accepted due to Meraki API limitations. When using property=Avg with startDate and endDate, the difference must be no more than 7 days.

If you use obfuscation, the property in your macro will not show up and instead, you will see a fake item of the obfuscation type chosen. |

Char | Optional | The delimiter used by storeAs to split the input (Legacy mode only), when there are multiple stored variables. For example, in this macro, we indicate that the value to be stored should be split by the asterisk when being stored: [String:value=a*b*c*d, storeAs=var1;var2;var3;var4, storeAsVariableDelimiter=*] | N/A | ; | |
String | Optional | The name of the STRING variable to store the result as and output (both will use the same format) into the report. Note that if you also use 'storeAsHidden' in the same macro, you should not expect the output to be hidden, as this parameter overrides that. | N/A | N/A | |
Int32 | Optional | Filter by VLAN number. | N/A | N/A | |
String | Optional | If specified, adds a warning message for this macro. This is processed as an NCalc, and the warning message will ALWAYS be present and will be the value of the evaluated NCalc expression. | N/A | N/A | |
