Cisco Meraki log monitoring

ManageEngine Log360 is a powerful SIEM solution that helps you collect logs from various sources including firewalls, switches, routers, and more. The solution makes it easier to sift through a multitude of logs easily by streamlining the log collection process, thereby enabling you to analyze them for any possible risks to your network.

Log360 helps you get real-time information on threats by monitoring your firewall logs, conducting forensic analysis, and identifying any vulnerabilities within your network. It enables your organization to understand the existing gaps and take appropriate measures to improve the security posture.

How Log360 collects and analyzes Cisco Meraki logs

Meraki devices can be configured to send syslog data to Log360, which acts as a syslog server to receive, parse, and archive these logs.

Additionally, using Meraki's API, Log360 can pull administrative logs and device events, enabling detailed threat hunting and correlation.

Meraki log types analyzed by Log360

Log360 monitors Cisco Meraki logs from multiple device classes:

Intrusion prevention events, malware signatures, and suspicious IP blocks
Allowed/denied connections, application traffic breakdowns, and bandwidth usage
Blocked content, rule violations, and policy enforcement actions
ACL matches, port blocking, and firewall rule evaluations
DNS, DHCP, and device connection events for endpoint visibility

Critical Cisco Meraki events monitored

Log360 identifies and alerts on critical Meraki events, including:

VPN connection disruptions and failures
Intrusion detection/prevention system alerts
Unauthorized client access or rogue AP activity
Port scanning or traffic anomalies
Traffic usage spikes or bandwidth abuse

Key benefits

Centralized visibility: View firewall activity across all Meraki-managed networks in one console.
Real-time alerts: Get instant notifications on threat detections, suspicious access, or blocked connections.
Advanced correlation: Detect attack patterns by correlating Meraki logs with logs from endpoints, servers, and cloud apps.
