Meraki

Meraki

Meraki is the network source. Hal reads it so an IP in an alert resolves to a real place — which site, which firewall, whether that address is a known corporate WAN egress. A sign-in from a recognized site reads very differently from one off an unknown network, and Meraki is how Hal tells them apart.

What Hal reads:

  • Device inventory — firewalls, switches, and access points, with firmware and online state
  • Network topology and connected clients
  • VPN tunnel status and WAN uplink health
  • Security configuration — firewall rules, NAT, content filtering, IDS and IPS posture
  • Wireless health, switch port status, and recent network and security events
  • Dashboard admin and login-security posture, and the configuration change log

Access is strictly read-only. Hal reads the Dashboard but never changes a network setting.

How to connect

In the Hal portal, add a read-only Meraki Dashboard API key. Hal tests connectivity before the source goes live. Setup walkthroughs are in Getting Started.
