MikroTik

hi folks,

just started to monitor my network with the dude (love the name).
works fine.
i am a WISP and would like to monitor traffic going through the links.
some link labels are just working fine, some aren't.
they aren't refreshing, they refresh when i open the access point to which they are designated to.
if i close the window they stop.
some of the links are working fine.

i am using 411, 333 and 433 routerboards.

any ideas?

thx in advance,
greez zoli

Use SNMP to monitor the links?

haven't tried that. i will, and will tell you if it worked.
thx a lot

Have you checked 'MikroTik RouterOS' at the device configuration (make sure correct login/password are entered to as well)?
Which interface do you monitor?

hi,

yes i have checked "router OS",
the login credentials are right as well (when i enter the device, all the information is updating, if i leave it stops)

thx

What kind of interface do you monitor?
Ethernet/wireless/bridge, etc. ?

right now i am monitoring ethernet connections.
i've tried with wireless and bridges as well.

all three connection types produce the same problem.

some devices just work like a charm. some don't work at all.
router OS version can't be the problem as well. some of the 4.9 devices aren't working as well.

quite confusing issue, isn't it?

Yes, it is confusing, I remember that previously I was able to reproduce the same problem with type=RouterOS, but now I'm trying to get the same problem and few links are working like a charm (I've setup).

I've noticed same problem when using 3.5, 3.6 anb 4.0b1. Also under 3.4 but intermitently.

I started monitoring links using routeros connection and it only updated data once or twice.
Then I moved to SNMPv3 (MD5, SHA, security=private) and labels never got updated or label showed InInterfaceBitrate.
After that I tried with SNMPv2c (no SNMP security) and it is working, but without SNMP security at all (I have to rely on some firewall rules to prevent unauthorized accesses to SNMP).


So it seems to be a double issue:
- with routeros mode to read links
- with SNMPv3.
