.. Attributes


.. Notes

Notes
-----

.. note::
   - Module is not idempotent as the Meraki API is limited in what information it provides about configuration templates.
   - Meraki's API does not support creating new configuration templates.
   - To use the configuration template, simply pass its ID via \ :literal:`net\_id`\  parameters in Meraki modules.
   - 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 \ :literal:`ANSIBLE\_MERAKI\_FORMAT`\  environment variable to \ :literal:`camelcase`\ .
   - Ansible's Meraki modules will stop supporting camel case output in Ansible 2.13. Please update your playbooks.
   - Check Mode downloads the current configuration from the dashboard, then compares changes against this download. Check Mode will report changed if there are differences in the configurations, but does not submit changes to the API for validation of change.
