Monitoring Cisco Meraki

Team, i want steps to setup meraki & redis dashboard. kindly help on this and check the below points.

Steps followed for Redis:

After enabling the mk_redis plugin, we observed only three service alerts.

Persistence

number of connected clients

Redis server info

Note: For Kubernetes, after following the Checkmk documentation for configuration, we were able to observe all metrics—including CPU, memory, and pod details—in a single dashboard. However, for Redis, there is no option to view all metrics in a unified dashboard.

Steps followed for Meraki:

Installed the special agent mkp file for Meraki on the OMD server.

Enabled the API in Cisco Meraki rules.

Created a host without an IP (Host name: merakicloud).

Enabled the dynamic host rule.

Dynamic Host Rule:

After completing the above steps, we performed a service discovery. However, we encountered the following error:

CRIT [special_cisco_meraki]: No cached data available CRIT

I want to know where i can place the meraki special agent mkp file.

and required details how to setup redis dashboard all metrices like master/slave, keys,I/O ,Memory usuage etc…

Questions:

For Redis, After mk_plugin enabled, its showing all metric details in cli but UI discovered only three alerts as I mentioned in the top line steps followed for redis.

For meraki is there any required special agent or only API rules to be configure ?
