The Alert Hub is available whenever you’re working on a network-level page in the Dashboard and displays any active alerts from devices in the current network. This includes MX security appliances and any other Meraki devices added to the network, such as MS switches, MR access points, and more.
From any network-level page on the Dashboard, you can open the Alert Hub for that network by clicking the bell icon at the top-right corner of the page, as shown in Figure 5-26. The Alert Hub alert categories, such as Device Health and Connectivity, enable you to quickly review and prioritize any active alerts based on their severity and potential impact. By selecting the See Alerts for All Networks link in the Alert Hub, you can quickly navigate to the Organization > Alerts page for a wider scope of review.

Organization Alerts
The Organization > Alerts page (see Figure 5-27) is similar to the network-level Alert Hub but operates at the organization level instead of the network level and provides a summary of all active alerts for all devices across networks within the organization. This page provides a single location to easily review all active or dismissed alerts for any device within the organization, making it ideal for general review of a deployment and providing easy access to immediately begin troubleshooting any alert, no matter what device or network is involved.

Threat Assessment on Meraki Dashboard
After you configure any necessary security features like AMP or IDS, it’s important to regularly review any potential threats detected by those features both to ensure their functionality and to address any potential issues stemming from within the network. In addition to the standard email alerts for threat detection, the Dashboard also provides the Security Center, a reporting page for all recent threat detection events. You can access this page via Security & SD-WAN > Security Center for the network-level Security Center and via Organization > Security Center for the organization-level Security Center.
This section provides a brief overview of the content available in the Security Center. For more details, visit https://documentation.meraki.com and search using the keywords Security Center or threat protection.
