MikroTik

dear mikrotik,

would it be possible to list ospf and bgp when.i do an snmp request using observium or librenms, as right now it does not list anything, vyatta, edgeos, quagga, cisco all show up but mikrotik does not show. i remember that it worked fine till version 6 was released then it stopped working for some reason.

greetings,
jaap

You mean OSPF, BGP routes or OSPF,BGP neighbor/peer status?

SNMP support for OSPF and BGP peer status will be added in ROSv7.

Currently BGP routes cannot be monitored over SNMP because it can cause slowdowns and route crash.

aah is that the same as for OSFP? a friend of mine mentioned to me that version 7 is made of unoptanium, any hints as when to expect this magical version, would it be i like a few months or a few years? would be nice to know when it would show up

You might be able to script it for Observium to monitor your mikrotik through the API.

We use Zabbix for monitoring, so for BGP monitoring we have a script with connects to the mikrotik API and returns information which zabbix can monitor.
For example: We then create an alert on say the status of a peer connection to notify us if the status is not "established"

It shouldn't be to difficult to do the same for observium.

That could work maybe, thanks for the tip

For example: Could you post an example of the php file?

I devised a "roundabout" way to monitor bgp peer state. I created a script that checks for all bgp peers and creates a "dummy" bridge interface for each. Then it will enable or disable the bridge state depending on the bgp peer state. You can then setup monitoring of the "bridge" interface which in essence reflects the state of the BGP peer.
You can decide how frequently you would want to run the script. You can also remove the ":log" lines - I added it while creating for debugging purposes as I don't create scripts very often.
Perhaps someone could streamline or suggest edits.
You can add this to a schedule to run as often as you want.

Derrick, I was thinking about extending the idea of the virtual interfaces to OSPF. Doing something like monitoring adjacency count, and downing the bridge using a timer (for detecting flapping). Have you tried this?

I have implemented the code for BGP and RADIUS monitoring in Python.
You can find the details in this topic.

We still need this.

Dear mrz,

Will this feature be included in the next beta release?

I think this is related, I run Observium to monitor some Mikrotiks (CCR1036's), and I do not get any routing information.

Am I running into this thread issue?

Observium documents state this, just wanted to check with Mikrotik before I log a fault with the software.

Mikrotik RouterOS
CPU and Memory statistics are available via HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.
MIKROTIK-MIB is not yet supported. Sadly BGP4-MIB is not currently supported by RouterOS.

Ok just read this. I think the answer is yes.

Can we get just peer status ?

I see a white box for "BGP and OSPF SNMP monitoring" in v7.7 testing, maybe this means the future is starting to get implemented?

Hi, is this works already in V7.13? Cause I still dont see any BGP Peer status or info in Obervium so far.

Hello everyone.
I had the same problem with two mikrotik:

• hEX lite (mipsbe) and
  hAP lite (smips).

I was able to solve it by upgrading my mikrotik to version 7.15beta8
