Meraki Import Page
Overview
The Meraki Import Page is a specialized feature in LogCentral that helps you import and organize your Cisco Meraki networks. This wizard-style interface streamlines the process of bringing your Meraki network infrastructure into LogCentral for centralized management.
What is the Meraki Import Page?
The Meraki Import Page provides a dedicated workspace for importing Meraki networks into your LogCentral organization. This feature is designed to help you quickly onboard your existing Meraki infrastructure, making it easier to manage multiple networks from a single location.
Accessing the Meraki Import Page
To access the Meraki Import feature:
Navigate to your organization in LogCentral
Access the Meraki Import page through your locations menu
Note: You'll need appropriate permissions within your organization to access this feature.
Key Features
Network Import Functionality
The Meraki Import Page allows you to:
Bulk Import Networks: Import multiple Meraki networks at once rather than adding them individually
Organization Management: Connect and organize networks from your Meraki organizations
Product Type Support: Work with various Meraki product types including wireless, switching, and security appliances
The import process uses OAuth authentication to securely connect to your Meraki account. LogCentral can refresh OAuth tokens as needed to maintain the connection to your Meraki infrastructure.
Common Use Cases
Initial Setup
When first setting up LogCentral, use the Meraki Import Page to:
Bring in your existing Meraki network infrastructure
Organize networks by location or function
Establish the foundation for centralized network management
Adding New Networks
As your organization grows, return to the import page to:
Add newly deployed Meraki networks
Update your network inventory
Maintain synchronization between Meraki and LogCentral
Organization Consolidation
At this time it is not possible to connect multiple Meraki organizations to one LogCentral organization.
Understanding Import Results
After running an import, you'll see information about:
Successfully imported networks: Networks that were added to your organization
Errors: Any networks that couldn't be imported and why
Skipped organizations: Meraki organizations that weren't processed

Once imported, your Meraki networks become part of your LogCentral organization structure. You can view and manage them through the main dashboard and locations pages.
Tips for Success
Check Your Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary access rights in both Meraki and LogCentral
Review Before Importing: Understand which networks you want to import before starting the process
Monitor Import Status: Pay attention to any error messages or skipped items during the import
Keep Tokens Fresh: The system will handle OAuth token refreshes, but be aware that authentication is required
