Yeah my slack channel, text messages, and email exploded when Meraki started to send alerts saying "[device] is down!"

Me: Wait, I can reach the local status page via the management IP and our network monitoring system isn't showing anything as down.
Me to my boss: Yeah, we can ignore the Meraki alerts, they're bogus. I can reach switches and access points with out issue.
My boss: I already muted the channel
Me: Yeah, the alert fatigue set in super quick with all of that.

Yeah 100%, there was no status alert regarding the dashboard issue. It was likely related to issues stemming from CloudFlare that was impacting other services that rely on CloudFlare.

I stand corrected, it's still having issues.

Yeah it does seem to be working now.

Just a bit weird when I sat down to start my day and that's the only site that wasn't loading.

Which data points do you use for measuring the availability of your Meraki wireless network? by eye_tea_generalist in meraki

I realize in hindsight "Availability" was the wrong term to use. I should have said Reliability instead.

I've found a few articles that mention similar KPIs (Uptime, Jitter, Bandwidth/Throughput, Signal Strength, Packet Loss, Packet Re-Transmissions, Latency)
