we are transitioning a number of our networks from hotspot to pppoe.

we currently group our users in terms of their bandwidth. we do this through running a script that is called when the users log in to create their queues.

we want to do a similar thing with PPPoE but there is no script hook for PPPoE like there is for hotspot.

are their plans for making such a hook or am I looking at this the wrong way

its possible by scripting to check for active pppoe connection, and trigger another script by this.

are you talking about the method that parses the log file every minute and looks for specific types of entries, then takes action on it? or is there another method i am unaware of.

well. its possible to do a /interface pppoe-server foreach in bla bla bla do set something global bla bla bla check old global new global bla bla bla to find new connections. and if find a new, do something, like running a script. I'm sure there also is better ways by scripting. its also possible to chek the radius server (i have a red/green light in managment system. Its polling pppoe by a java software 5 by 5 min)

it maye also possible like u say. take the info from logfile. but maybe even worse than my taughts.

You can use a RADIUS server and have the radius server return the Mikrotik-Rate-Limit parameter which will automatically crate a simple queue for the pppoe interface of that user. You could alternatively return a Mikrotik-Address-List parameter to add the users IP to an address list upon which you could match with tree queues or simple queues.
