Products

• CA Virtual Network Assurance

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

 

Cause

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

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : Virtual Network Assurance For CA Spectrum

Resolution

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