Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : Spectrum Integrations

Cause

The VNA code has been updated  and the MERAKI_USER_NAME has been deprecated.

Resolution

The Template and VNA code were updated and the "MERAKI_USER_NAME" had been deprecated. Also, there were a few more plugin values that needed to be added. We retrieved them from the template.  After you upgrade, run the Template query to see what's needed to configure the plugin.  You can do this for any plugin, not just the Meraki Plugin.

Click the GET on the /v1/admin/plugins/{pluginName}/template and enter Meraki Plugin.
