It's probably useful to post a walk showing the data you're talking about.

Hi Mike
I may not be expressing myself very clearly here, sorry about that.
Meraki *devices* have very limited SNMP information.
Meraki *dashboard* has a ton of SNMP information *about devices*.
Think of it like Cisco classic wifi. You add the controller to Observium to get info about all the access points.

Hi Mike,
Meraki does provide full SNMP access to their dashboard - that's what I added into Observium. It's just that Observium doesn't seem to know about it. I can provide the MIB if interested?
Meraki have very-very limited snmp support, there no inventory information inside. We are already detecting and monitoring everything that is possible for these devices.
They also have an extensive API, but I guess SNMP is more in line with what observium does.

Hi
We have a bunch of Merakis in Observium, and we got the nice graphs and stuff. Then somebody asked for serial numbers for inventory purposes, and . they're not there.
I did an SNMP walk on a single Meraki device, and that's really sparse, explaining the lack of info in Observium. Then I added the Meraki dashboard (available at snmp.meraki.com), and let Observium have a look at that. It basically told me that it resides in San Francisco. Doing an SNMP walk on that does reveal all the necessary info, though, so it is there.
Any plans on parsing the Meraki dashboard into Observium and get info on devices that way? If not, we can pull the serials from elsewhere, but it would be cool to know if it's coming.
Parsing any dashboard (any web page) for any device completely pointless occupation. These pages are dynamic, they can change at the whim of the manufacturer.
The only possible option (besides snmp) any common (documented) API. But as I know, Meraki doesn't even support that.
