Issue/Introduction

Meraki inventory in Spectrum was upgraded to 21.2.8 and VNA was upgraded to 21.2.10.  The oc_acquisition debug is showing 403 errors:

2022-05-02 16:34:55,078 ERROR (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-default-Thread-12)  [OC_ACQUISITION] TimHttpFunction 278  Error while sending http request to https://n93.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/658088495549514139/networks?perPage=1000 : java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://n169.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/658088495549514139/networks?perPage=1000

 

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : Virtual Network Assurance For CA Spectrum

Cause

Meraki licensing has expired for that organization.  The failure causes the 403 exception to be logged in the tomcat log file.

Resolution

 Broadcom is working on an enhancement to filter out those organizations.  This is tentatively scheduled to be released in 22.2.1
