So I decided to share my really simple way, by capturing each OID manually for every entry in Simple Queue I want to graph..
Please notice that I am not an expert in whether Cacti or Mikrotik Router OS, so It will be great if you guys willing to show me/us a better way to do this..
Why cacti? why not built-in graphing tools provided by Router OS?..., for now I only have one reason --> With cacti we could gather data from spesific range of time..
This How-to assumed that you already have knowledge on installing and using cacti...
Also notice that Router OS Simple Queue OID will be dynamically changed if we delete (-) entry on our queue..
To find out the OID of the simple queue we want to graph (from the router OS)...
Code: Select all
[tjdykb@xxx] > /queue simple pr oid
Code: Select all
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

etc..
What I did (in cacti) was made a data template (duplicated from SNMP - Generic OID Template) one for download and one for upload each, so we will have two data templates, which we will use to capture 2 different OID from one simple queue entry.. The template file link available at the end of this message ... I also made a graph Template .. modified from SNMP Interface Template.. (link also available)..
Then I made data-sources for Download Traffic and Upload Traffic using the previously imported/made data-templates (say MT-SQ-down and MT-SQ-up) .. for Download Traffic put the OID bytes-in you get from the Router OS and bytes-out for Upload Traffic..
Finally we made the simple queue graph for Router OS Device, using the graph template imported/made before.. choose Download and Upload Traffic for data-sources
Wait for 10 whoe minutes ..
I know it rather stupid, but at least there is a way ..
Good Luck
