Notes
Note
- More information about the Meraki API can be found at https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs.
- Some of the options are likely only used for developers within Meraki.
- As of Ansible 2.9, Meraki modules output keys as snake case. To use camel case, set the
ANSIBLE_MERAKI_FORMATenvironment variable tocamelcase. - Ansible’s Meraki modules will stop supporting camel case output in Ansible 2.13. Please update your playbooks.
