RouterOS local variable
Posted: Sat Apr 29, 2017 1:26 am
Hello guys,
I have some difficults when need to collect information for our managment system.
[The problem]
I need to get some information displayed at terminal/winbox, but it was inside a "monitor" command that keep refreshing. If you use the "once" argument, it does not get the proper data.
So after some research i would like to share this little but helpful detail. My case is about the identification os local variables that routerOs uses at a "monitor" or "info" scope.
If you google it, you will find this link https://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2 ... ipting.php, you should move forward to Special action and check the example:
It would be great, and would help me a lot if it works. But its for ROS2.8 and does not work for ROS 5.26 and 6.38.5 (both tested).
So if you keep googling you maybe find this link viewtopic.php?t=57697
The user Alphil share this code, and it help me a lot when i need to take some info from my 3G dongle.
Today i need to collect some data from my radius client and if you open an terminal and type:
You should get it:
Now i need to pass to my managment system this information, but it´s a monitor "print" and i can´t get this variables to work with it.
I try to get the variable like $"requests", using the same logic that was used at "info" from ppp-client. But it does not work.
[The Solution]
So to make it works we need to discover the real name of the local variable that routerOs use here.
To get it you should use the "do={:local }" and you friend "tab" ^^
By this i use the command:
And press "tab" to get this result:
So i discovery that the local variable used by the routerOs for the fields that i need was accepts, rejects and pending.
With this information i make this script, and now i can manipulate this information in global variables
I would like just to share this information with you guys.
Best Regards
