Awesome!
We are still in the beta stage, thanks for your feedback!
We are open to any suggestions and ideas!
And welcome to the team

Hello, your software is looking great. Do you have or are you planning to have network maps like in the dude ?

Hello, your software is looking great. Do you have or are you planning to have network maps like in the dude ?

Yes , it is in our roadmap . we are planning to implement it

FINALY, I lost my belief already, Thank you Mikrotik....looks good. Installed in Proxmox in Ubuntu LXC. Just wonderinf if HAP AX3 will be able to run this SW

Dashboard - Total device traffic is useless...I have 3 edge rouers connected via wireguard and Total device traffic is showing eveything together? this information is useless. it would be good to filer it regarding groups...I have 3 groups ...3 edge routers...with NAT.

Interesting, we didn't think at all that someone with 3 routers may use this software and happy about that. thanks for your feedback I add your suggestion to the list for our team to check it!

This is not from the Mikrotik team ( it is made by me and my team ) but that makes me happy that you liked it. This software is made for providers with many routers but everyone is free to use it with any purpose! and you can use it for any type of MikroTik router including HAP AX3, but you can't install it on the HAP AX3. it should installed on a server,pc, or VM.

Welcome to the group! We’re excited to have you with us as you explore MikroWizard!

How about 40 routers ? I have many remote sites with Mikrotik LTE routers connected via Wireguard back to the office.

I installed MikroWizard today, installation went flawlessly but even i registered serial number and your site says its active software doesn't recognize that code is confirmed. Also I can't find my router. I turned on API.

Enable API on the roter...

It's enabled, I double checked.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback, we had a bug that other users also reported which is caused when routers are connected by a tunnel. the issue is now fixed and a clean new installation should work
EDIT: Also new version pushed to all registered users automatically, (auto update)

Found a problem, firewall was blocking API port, for now only office devices are added and one offsite device. One small advice, please for free-memory and free-hdd-space put kbps, not bps. Maybe auto ranging would be good.

Is there a docker compose file for this ?
Would be much easier to run on my dockge docker host ...

We are creating the docker-compose file and the installation will be changed soon, currently executing the installer script is very easy !

Hi, please let us know when it’s ready to be tested.

+1 for me

As the docker install requires ubuntu for now and crashes on debian bookworm...
I will wait for decent docker-compose files

Just noticed that on dashboard I have 7 warning events and on events i can see they are fixed. So why it's not possible to remove that logs ? Or why system don't remove them once they are fixed ?

Just noticed that on dashboard I have 7 warning events and on events i can see they are fixed. So why it's not possible to remove that logs ? Or why system don't remove them once they are fixed ?

The dashboard shows the data for the last 24 hours. So, fixed or not you will see it until next 24 hours .

in our pro version,
We have a monitoring wall feature that is what you are exactly looking

Working on it

Yea... That's no good in my opinion... I don't want to open dashboard and have non-existent warnings... For eg. someone turn off their PC and I have warning for that. That should be customisable. Also buttons updatable and upgradable, I have one upgradable, I click on it but nothing.

I was interested right up until I saw that you are doing a per device subscription based pricing model, no thanks. If you have a one time purchase pricing model in the future for # of device tiers, I'd be interested.

Wow, great software You got there. I'm playing with it for couple of hours. I'm missing an option to add single router. I tried to scan from ex. 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.1 and it doesn't find it, but when I try 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.2 it finds it. Also I would like to see "run now" option for already configured tasks.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but free edition can be used forever, or there is some kind of a trial period?
Keep the good work!

I can confirm the issue scanning for a single IP!

Thanks, and welcome to the group:)
as you already found it by yourself, using 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.2 will add 10.10.10.1
I submitted this as a bug report and it will be changed in the next release
about the execution, there is a button in snippets for execution. I will add your suggestion to the list of tasks!

Yes, the core version is for the community and will be free forever! it is under AGPL License. And, of course, there is a paid version with a lot more features and better support and customization options:)
And also you will get free automatic updates!
We just want to make you think, if this is the free version what could the commercial version do

Thanks for your feedback, we are working/thinking on pricing and marketing.

And also you will get free automatic updates!

Free: Ok...
Automatic: Bad.
What do you mean by automatic? Do the program ask for confirmation or can you stay on the same version forever?

Because I ask this: If the program is forced to update and one day the free version is withdrawn to forcefully switch to the paid version,
as Logmein and others have done, for example...

The application and the device that has to be manage was separated by wireguard vpn, L3 connection from ubuntu console where this application was installed to the device needs to be manage is workiing properly like ping and ssh but on the GUI of this application using scanner the device won't show up after scan since single host is a known bug I put 192.168.89.1-192.168.89.2 to workaround the issue still the device won't show up api on the target device is enable and i haven't see any login attempt from the device that this application is trying to login

There is a "Device scan Logs" button in the scan wizard. download the CSV log and check it out for more info.
If you don't see any information regarding API access in your MikroTik router logs then the API port is not accessible! maybe you are missing firewall rules in other devices or your host machine?
Please send us an email with more information to info@mikrowizard.com so we can debug the cause together.
Thanks

As I already mentioned before the MikroWizard is open source! it means everyone has access to its source code! you can change any part of that. including update behavior! you can do manual updates if you are familiar with Linux and docker. and simply don't register for automatic updates in the first place!

And also you will get free automatic updates!

Free: Ok...
Automatic: Bad.

Quick question: is the 8 GB RAM requirement an absolute minimum or is there a chance it could run on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB of RAM?

Yes, in theory, you can run it on a Raspberry Pi 4(need to be tested), MikroWizard with minimum configuration for small networks will use less than 1GB of RAM but for bigger networks and more users, and routers you may need more resources.

Quick question: is the 8 GB RAM requirement an absolute minimum or is there a chance it could run on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB of RAM?

Hello and congratulations on the project.
I tried it for a short time, and I would like to ask you if once the firmware is downloaded in the repositories, if there is the possibility to delete it.
I tried to find the option to delete it, but it doesn't seem to be there.



Thank you very much

could this also be self-hosted on premise?

EDIT: yes ... reading helps. it is a docker install essentially

Why is the package splitted into frontend and backend? Also, why not an image with all the dependencies?

...

They are developed separately, and they get updates separately. it is easier to support and maintain.so, we keep each image as simple as possible. Also, docker images are built based on official trusted images.

Why is the package splitted into frontend and backend? Also, why not an image with all the dependencies?

Hello, I installed this and have been looking at it and noticed a GUI bug.
When you click "Adding new task" the "theme" "columns" and "Items per page" all open BEHIND the window, you can see them when you close the task.

It would be nice if there was a place to view currently running/progress of tasks/jobs as well instead of disappearing into the abyss.
Is it possible to add toggles for what we would want listed in "device logs"? As already mentioned, It would be nice to turn off all internal events (aside from eth port activity)

Also, on task planer (planner typo?) It gives the clicking ability to run a backup, which isn't available for free users, but it does not give any error or warning, just acts like its accepted and goes away.

great job! I will give this a try and add a few of our routers that we manage. This is above and beyond what say Splynx can do .

Perhaps MikroTik will take note of this and use to build their own. Or they leverage your source-code to build their own cloud manager.

Thanks for the feedback, I will add your suggestions to the list.

Any reason we couldn't get this to work on a decent-sized CCR with containers? I'm thinking at minimum a CCR2004 4GB RAM and external storage or more likely a CCR2116/2216 with SSD's.

I had a problem adding devices. Testing a routeos device with a public IP address, I tried every means to fail to add devices, make sure the api was enabled, Routeos-log had a log message, and login failed

Hello everybody,
From a global perspective, there is a lot of room to improve productivity. In many cases we are using multiple Mikrotik devices at the same time and we are configuring multiple things, such as interfaces and VPNs, in between these devices. If we could have the ability to control multiple devices from the same interface, it could be a real breakthrough in terms of the productivity. A similar approach was implemented in some of the SDWAN controllers. For example, IPSEC: Peers, Identifiers, Profiles and Proposals could be configured on multiple devices at the same time.
Best,
K.

Maybe the user you are trying with is not allowed to use API? or is it simply the wrong user/password? please check the logs in the scanner wizard to troubleshoot the problem.

There is a batch command execution option in MikroWizard named "snippets" You can write commands and execute them on selected devices/groups and see the results, but if you want a more customized solution based on your needs you can reach us at info@mikrowizard.com.

I am not well versed in linux. I tried to install this in a Debian LXC under Proxmox and failed.

There are too many steps in the installation, and while I appreciate the detail and effort that went into creating the instructions, they did not work for me.

I got as far as:
But this command failed as follows:
Any suggestions?

It would be so much nicer if the manual installation was packaged in a single command. Possible?

Thank you.

I mean, if you use their "docker" install, its practically one command. You run the one c/p command, answer 5 questions (make username, make database pass, IP, make radius secret, done)
It installed super easy on ubuntu 22.04




Extra bug
In IP scanner, I put 100.64.0.2-100.64.4.254 for our CGnat routers, most of the devices have already been added but reran to make sure none were offline during first scan. I am on day 4 since starting that, still says its scanning. (I noticed this upon initial install and added current routers using /25's at a time.
I have not found a way to "cancel" the broken scan either

I was confused about the docker install -- I thought it meant installation as a container on an MT device.

I just tried the docker install and it failed as follows:

Yes you need a Linux server Debian based (Ubuntu recommended)

Thanks

Sorry, lost in translation. That was a hypothetical question, not a "I tried it and it didn't work".

In other words, have you guys tested loading the containers onto MikroTik devices themselves, or on CHR? Using RouterOS's built-in container support?


As for feedback, I loaded it up and yes, for an ISP, a single total bandwidth chart on the dashboard is pointless.

I do not like how the RX and TX charts are laid out. Since upload is statistically significantly less than download, the way the graphs scale the data to show the same maximum visually is not helpful. 500Mbps down should not be visually represented the same as 20Mbps up.

I can't register or log in at all. The error message is: "An error has been encountered. Probably page was cached. Please try again." I am looking forward to solving the login and registration problem as soon as possible.

Thank you for creating this.

Just one word of advise, while I know you likely created the install script for easy install for everyone, many people would of prefered docker-compose file which then is universal for any platform that they use.

Currently looking at the install script code, its aimed more for ubuntu machines (well docker install is). Or you would need to add every distro under the sun and support that, what a nightmare that would be.

Also doing a docker-compose edition would of mean that people like myself, would be able to easily and quickly convert this into kubernetes manifests as many people these days don't run standalone docker instances where k8s is more viable.

Anwyays, really nicely done. Well done.

No, it is also available for free. Some features that enhance backups are pro.

Out of curiosity, is the backups and updates features COMPLETELY pay only? I notice even trying to do singles do not work

Oh. I see, not for current features which don't need this. but it is in our roadmap, we plan to add customer support for ISPs, etc...
Also thanks for the feedback. added this feedback as a high priority.

Can you please provide more information?
Installation method? any errors you face? and which part is not working?
Please open an issue in GitHub or our contact us at info@mikrowizard.com
Mikrowizard should work with your router regardless of its hardware
Thanks

Sorry, lost in translation. That was a hypothetical question, not a "I tried it and it didn't work".

In other words, have you guys tested loading the containers onto MikroTik devices themselves, or on CHR? Using RouterOS's built-in container support?


As for feedback, I loaded it up and yes, for an ISP, a single total bandwidth chart on the dashboard is pointless.

I do not like how the RX and TX charts are laid out. Since upload is statistically significantly less than download, the way the graphs scale the data to show the same maximum visually is not helpful. 500Mbps down should not be visually represented the same as 20Mbps up.

Thanks
Yes , we recived many requests with this . we are working on installer script , and also there will be a docker-compose file.

Please contact us at our email address info@mikrowizard.com and share a screenshot and the error you are facing. currently, we have registrations every day.

I can't register or log in at all. The error message is: "An error has been encountered. Probably page was cached. Please try again." I am looking forward to solving the login and registration problem as soon as possible.

Interesting, as I cannot get single firmware updates nor single backups to do anything

I found why backups were not working. "Planer" does not work or error if you leave "cron" blank. I was assuming blank would auto start immediately.
Magically single router updates are working now too lol

No project update on GitHub from 26. Aug. Is project dead?

No, Fully active, and we are currently updating the software(not pushing to customers for now).
As the founder of the software, I am busy with my wedding and the company's establishment and testing the new features, working on the trial and demo possibilities for the pro version ( asked by many customers). so too busy to push updates on GitHub
I am planning my honeymoon also so I don't want to push updates that may not work correctly and not be fully tested!
We have big plans and many unique features are coming in free and pro versions

First off, this is excellent! I was working on something similar, but not nearly as scaled and not nearly as refined just to get backups of our devices. Decided after randomly stumbling on this to drop mine and pick up yours. I do have a couple recommendations as this appears to be use of managing a "mikrotik network" as opposed to how I planned on using it, as an MSP.

Bulk imports of devices (we have over 200 external mikrotiks, and obviously not in the same subnets). It would be nice to just say, "no, there is a mikrotik at this specific IP" and it to show on dashboard, but red or grey if no initial contact is created.
Add firmware updates to Task planner so they can be scheduled after hours. <- Scratch this one if you are leaving it pro. I agree with you guys making money on your work.

I hope your wedding/honeymoon went great and look forward to seeing updates!

Any ETA for docker compose? Would love to deploy and try this on my TrueNAS SCALE without a VM.

Kind regards,
Patrick

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that MikroWizard has made such an impression, especially from someone who was already working on a similar project. The fact that you’ve decided to adopt MikroWizard means a lot to us.

Your suggestions are excellent and align well with some of the directions we’re considering for future updates. Let me address them:

Bulk Imports for External MikroTiks:
This is a fantastic idea, especially for MSPs managing large-scale networks across different subnets. We’re already exploring ways to streamline bulk imports, and your suggestion of showing devices on the dashboard (even without initial contact) is a practical and intuitive approach. I’ll prioritize adding this feature to our roadmap—thank you for the inspiration!

Scheduled Firmware Updates:
Scheduling firmware updates is available in the pro version and it is implemented in Task Planner,
As for whether this feature will be part of the Pro version—thank you for understanding our approach to monetization. We want to strike a balance between offering value in the free version and creating meaningful upgrades for Pro users.

Lastly, thank you for the warm wishes regarding my wedding and honeymoon—it all went beautifully, and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Please keep sharing your insights and ideas—they help us shape MikroWizard into a tool that’s even more useful for professionals like you. Let us know how it’s working for your MSP setup, and feel free to reach out anytime!

Meanwhile, our demo version is ready and if you want to give it a test drive, just email us at info@mikrowizard.com

Hi Patrick,

Great news—our Docker Compose setup is now available! We've made the first commit, and you can find the repository here:
https://github.com/MikroWizard/docker- ... deployment

While it’s functional, please note that it’s still in the early stages and hasn’t been fully tested in all environments, including TrueNAS SCALE. We’d love for you to give it a try and share your feedback—it’ll help us refine the setup further.

Feel free to reach out if you encounter any issues or need guidance during deployment. Thanks again for your enthusiasm, and we’re looking forward to hearing how it works for you!

Kind regards,

That's great news, thanks! Going to try deploying this in Dockge over the holidays.
