cisco-meraki-ta-setup

cisco-meraki-ta-setup is a skill for Codex from chambear2809/splunk-cisco-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (3,492 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for connecting Cisco Meraki network data to Splunk, a platform for collecting and searching machine data. It configures the required account, data inputs, index, and dashboard settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard a Meraki organization, configure polling inputs, and check that Meraki events reach Splunk.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of connecting the Meraki Dashboard API to Splunk and helps find missing or empty data.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash skills/shared/scripts/setup_credentials.sh.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

cisco-meraki-ta-setup scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/configure_account.sh, scripts/load_mcp_tools.sh, scripts/setup_dashboards.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Cisco Meraki TA Setup Automation

Prerequisites

Tool or access Purpose Verify
Bash, curl, and jq Run setup and REST configuration helpers command -v bash curl jq
Splunk administrative access Create the index, account, inputs, and macros Confirm search-tier REST access
Meraki Dashboard API key Poll the selected organization Store the key in a protected file

Workflow Overview

┌───────────┐   ┌────────────┐   ┌──────────────────┐   ┌───────────────┐
│ Preflight │ → │ Install TA │ → │ Configure inputs │ → │ Validate data │
└───────────┘   └────────────┘   └──────────────────┘   └───────────────┘

When to Activate

  • Onboard a Meraki Dashboard organization through Splunk_TA_cisco_meraki.
  • Configure Meraki API accounts, polling inputs, indexes, or dashboard macros.
  • Diagnose missing Meraki data or empty companion dashboards.

Scope

This skill configures Splunk collection and dashboard prerequisites. It does not request API keys in chat, modify Meraki network configuration, or enable every polling input without reviewing rate and volume impact.

Examples

Run the diagnostic validator before account creation:

bash skills/cisco-meraki-ta-setup/scripts/validate.sh

Expected output: package, Splunk access, account prerequisites, and local tools are reported without changing the Meraki organization or Splunk inputs.

Run the completion gate after enabling selected inputs:

bash skills/cisco-meraki-ta-setup/scripts/validate.sh --completion

Expected output: account, enabled inputs, events, source types, macros, and dashboard evidence report [PASS] or exit nonzero.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Resolution
API returns 401 API key is invalid Replace the protected key file
API returns 429 Polling exceeds limits Reduce scope or increase intervals
No events Organization or scope is wrong Verify it and inspect logs
Empty dashboards Macro/source type is wrong Validate events, then align settings

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
