Organization Integrations
Overview
The Organization Integrations feature in LogCentral allows you to connect your organization with third-party services like Meraki to extend functionality and streamline your workflows.
By integrating external services, you can enhance your LogCentral experience with additional capabilities and data sources.
Accessing Organization Integrations
To access the integrations page for your organization:
Navigate to your organization and click the top right hand corner or navigate to
/organizations/:orgId/integrations(replace:orgIdwith your organization's ID)You'll see the integrations dashboard where you can manage all your third-party connections
Note: Access to integrations may depend on your role within the organization. Organization owners and members with appropriate permissions can manage integrations.
Available Integrations
Meraki Integration
LogCentral offers integration with Cisco Meraki, allowing you to connect your Meraki network infrastructure with LogCentral.
Key Features:
- OAuth-based authentication for secure connection
- Ability to disconnect the integration when needed
- Token refresh capability to maintain active connections
Managing Your Meraki Connection:
To disconnect your Meraki integration:
1. Locate the Meraki integration card on the integrations page
2. Select the disconnect option
3. Confirm your decision in the dialog that appears
The system will prompt you with a confirmation message before disconnecting to prevent accidental removal of your integration.
Refreshing OAuth Tokens:
LogCentral automatically manages OAuth tokens for your Meraki integration. If you need to manually refresh tokens:
- The system uses the endpoint POST /organizations/{organization_id}/refresh-oauth-tokens
- This requires authentication and appropriate permissions (OWNER or MEMBER with Meraki integration access)
Requesting Additional Integrations
If you need an integration that isn't currently available, you can request it directly from the integrations page. Look for the "Request Integration" card to submit your integration needs to the LogCentral team.
Common Use Cases
Network Infrastructure Management: Connect your Meraki network devices to centralize monitoring and logging across your organization's infrastructure.
Automated Data Sync: Maintain up-to-date information between LogCentral and your external services without manual intervention.
Extended Functionality: Leverage third-party services to add capabilities beyond LogCentral's core features.
Permissions and Access
Integration management is controlled by your role within the organization:
- Organization Owners: Full access to all integration features
- Members: Access based on specific integration permissions assigned to their role
The permission system aligns with LogCentral's role-based access control to ensure secure management of external connections.
Best Practices
Regular Token Maintenance: While LogCentral handles OAuth token refresh automatically, monitor your integration status to ensure connections remain active.
Review Connected Services: Periodically review your active integrations to ensure they're still needed and properly configured.
Secure Disconnection: When removing an integration, use the proper disconnect process to ensure clean removal and prevent orphaned connections.
Permission Management: Ensure team members have appropriate access levels for the integrations they need to use.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your integrations:
Connection Problems: Check that your OAuth tokens are current and the external service is accessible
Permission Errors: Verify your role has the necessary permissions for the integration you're trying to access
Token Refresh: If automatic token refresh fails, contact your organization owner or LogCentral support
