This add-on provides CIM-compliant field mappings and tags for Cisco Meraki Air Marshal and Access Point data to populate Splunk Enterprise Security data models.
When using the Cisco Meraki Add-on for Splunk (available separately on Splunkbase, v3.x) to collect data from the Meraki Dashboard API, two key sourcetypes lack complete CIM compliance:
- meraki:airmarshal - Air Marshal wireless threat detection events are collected but lack the tags and CIM field mappings required by the Intrusion_Detection (IDS_Attacks) data model. Rogue AP detections, SSID spoofing alerts, and other wireless threats do not appear in Splunk ES security dashboards or correlation searches.
- meraki:accesspoints - Client association, disassociation, and fast roaming events are collected but lack the tags and CIM field mappings required by the Network_Sessions data model. Wireless session data is invisible to session-based correlation in Splunk ES.
This add-on supplements the Meraki TA by adding event type definitions, CIM tags, and EVAL-based field extractions that map raw Meraki API fields to CIM-compliant field names.
CIM Data Models Covered:
- Intrusion_Detection (IDS_Attacks) - meraki:airmarshal - Maps fields: ids_type, signature, category, severity, action, src, dvc
- Network_Sessions - meraki:accesspoints - Maps fields: dest, ssid, session_action, duration
The Meraki TA already provides CIM compliance for Authentication (802.1X events) and Change (configuration and availability events). This add-on fills the remaining gaps.
Requirements:
- Cisco Meraki Add-on for Splunk v3.0.0 or later,
- Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) v4.0.0 or later,
- Splunk Enterprise Security (recommended but not required)
