Meraki Ansible Modules *WISH LIST

[ExplainLikeIm5]

Hello,

LOVE the Meraki Modules!
Recently have been tasked to create Ansible playbooks. So far the current modules have gotten me halfway there. I saw on your blog last year you were hoping to release a few modules I am looking for now. These would be for MX devices.

meraki_group_policy
meraki_traffic_shaping

Any updates would be SWEET!

thanks again for all you hard work.

I apologize for the delay as Github never notified me of this request. I'll take a look at these and if feasible, develop the modules. Would you be able to test them?

[ExplainLikeIm5]

Absolutely. Thank you!

@ExplainLikeIm5 I looked into these endpoints tonight. Both are doable but both may be complex modules. For traffic shaping, specifically which functions are you looking for? Some of the traffic shaping is very simple while the custom performance classes (https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/#!get-network-appliance-traffic-shaping-custom-performance-classes) introduces additional endpoints. I'm not opposed to either but curious what functionality you're looking for.

The group policy one is an ugly endpoint because it duplicates code from a half dozen other modules so I need to refactor it to be reusable.

meraki facts would be awesome

@feisa What information would you want out of meraki_facts?

Hello, another new feature that will be nice to have is the meraki switch static route, I know that we have for the MX but will be great if we have it also for the MS

I think I will finish two of my tasks (#361 and #342) after that action I can try to create that module. But approximately I will do it in the December.

EDIT: I cannot do it in the December, so I will move that task to Q3 2023

@kbreit I would also second the request for meraki_group_policy API: https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-latest/#!create-network-group-policy

Mainly looking for scheduling, bandwidth, and firewallAndTrafficShaping.
