Two admin power-tools in DataMagic: Organization Statistics and Bulk Edit
Managing a fleet of Meraki organisations is a numbers game — dozens or hundreds of orgs, each quietly collecting devices, networks and config. Two features on the Admin → Organizations page make that fleet much easier to keep healthy and consistent: a per-organisation Statistics view, and a Bulk Edit tool for changing settings across many organisations at once.
Organization Statistics: health at a glance
Select an organisation and click Statistics to open a live snapshot of how its data collection is performing.
Summary cards across the top give you the headline numbers:
- Devices, Networks and Config Templates — current counts, each with the processing loop they were last seen on.
- API Back-off Rate — how often Meraki is rate-limiting this org (HTTP 429s) as a share of total requests. Colour-coded so a throttling problem stands out immediately.
Below that, the Processing Health table breaks performance down by domain — Organization, Config Templates, Networks and Devices — with a row each showing:
- Loop — the current processing iteration
- Success / Warnings / Errors — colour-coded badges so trouble is obvious
- API Requests and API 429s — request volume and how much of it hit Meraki’s rate limits
A Last updated timestamp tells you how fresh the figures are, and a Refresh button pulls the latest without leaving the dialog.
It’s the fastest way to answer “is this org collecting cleanly?” — and to spot the orgs that are erroring or getting throttled before they become a support ticket.
Bulk Edit: change many organisations in one pass
Setting the same option on one organisation is easy. Setting it on fifty is where Bulk Edit earns its keep.
Click Bulk Edit and you can apply changes to your current selection or every organisation matching your current filter — the dialog tells you which, and any deleted organisations are automatically excluded. You can expand the list to review (and fine-tune) exactly which organisations are in scope before committing.
Then tick the fields you want to change — only the ones you enable are touched:
- Network Allow Function — filter which networks are processed (NCalc Extensions expression, e.g.
getProperty(network, 'Name') == 'NetworkName') - Network Inclusion Expression — decide which networks should exist in the database
- Network Group Function — how networks are grouped (e.g.
'Assigned','All') - Collect Stats Interval — the interval for Switch Port Rx/Tx, VPN Peer and Underlay Port stats collection (set a value of 300 seconds or more, or clear it)
Hit Apply, and you get a live progress view — a progress bar plus running Updated / Failed / Remaining counters — and you can Stop Processing Remaining at any time if you need to bail out.
When it finishes, a summary shows totals for Updated, Failed and Skipped, lists exactly which fields were applied, and — if anything went wrong — gives you a per-organisation error table so you know precisely what to revisit.
Why we think you’ll like them
- See problems early — throttling, errors and warnings surfaced per org, not buried in logs.
- Configure at scale — apply consistent settings across your whole estate in one controlled, reviewable pass.
- Stay in control — preview the scope, watch progress live, stop early, and review a clear summary afterwards.
Both are live now on the Admin → Organizations page in DataMagic. Give them a try across your estate and let us know what you’d like to manage in bulk next. ![]()
