Steps to Connecting the Meraki API to Pollux:

Step 1: Navigate to the Settings Dashboard

In the sidebar, click on Settings to access the Settings Dashboard.

Step 2: Open the Integrations Section

In the settings sidebar, navigate to Integrations under the Organization category. Here, you will find a list of all integrations available within Pollux.

TIP

Don’t see the integration link in the sidebar? Contact your Pollux administrator as you may not have the necessary permissions to access this section.

Step 3: Locate the Meraki Module and Click Connect

Scroll through the list of integrations and find the Meraki Module. Click the Connect button to begin the setup process.

Step 4: Enter Required API Credentials

A sidebar will appear prompting you to input two required fields

  • Organization ID: This is the unique identifier of your Meraki organization. You can find it at the very bottom of the Meraki dasboard.
  • Meraki API Key: This key enables communication between Pollux and the Meraki Dashboard. Refer to the Meraki Documentation to learn how to generate this key.

Step 5: Authenticate and Confirm Connection

Click Connect to proceed. Since this is a critical integration, Pollux will prompt you to enter your password and may require two-factor authentication (2FA) to verify your identity. This additional security step ensures that changes to your Pollux organization are intentional.

Step 6: Data Synchronization

Pollux will now begin fetching data from the Meraki Dashboard. Depending on the size of your organization, this process may take several minutes.

  • You do not need to keep your browser open.
  • The synchronization is handled entirely in the background.
  • Once completed, all relevant Meraki data will be available within Pollux.

TIP

The larger your Meraki organization, the longer the initial synchronization may take. Grab a coffee while Pollux does the heavy lifting for you! ☕

Step 7: Success! 🎉

Congratulations! You have successfully connected your Meraki organization to Pollux. You can now manage your Meraki environment directly from Pollux.
