im trying to read the client-count oid for a wlan virtual ap and display it as a dude label for a device.
the reason im doing this is because we are using hardware that has 1 wireless card but we are broadcasting 2 SSID's so we do this by virtual ap's.
MAIN GOAL:: i want to be able to see how many wireless clients are connected to each device at a glance without having to pull up the wireless registration tables
this is the label
[Device.Name] [Device.FirstAddress]
[device_performance()][Device.ServicesDown]
Wireless Clients: [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.5")]
Wireless Clients: [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.6")]
Wireless Clients: [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.3.1.6.12")]
and here is the output from /interface wireless print oid

You also asked this in support.
So what is the problem to use the " client-count " value from the VirtualAP interface? I guess it's second or third one in your list

yes i did ask in support.
the problem is that it wont work, it displays a blank space where the client-count value should be. i will attach a pic
Capture.PNG
did i miss something normis in the label syntax or does it look right.
i thought something like this would be simple.

as far as the output of the command /interface wireless print oid...
im guessing that the "0" is the physical WLAN interface, and the "1" and "2" are the VirtualAP interfaces.
maybe?

same OID works with real interface, but all OIDs for virtual return empty. Maybe a bug. Thanks, we will see.

i tried this one also (which i believe is the same) with the same results.
[oid("iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.mikrotik.mikrotikExperimentalModule.mtXRouterOs.mtxrWireless.mtxrWlApTable.mtxrWlApEntry.mtxrWlApClientCount.12")]
any recommendations or maybe another approach to be able to display this information inside of the dude map???

Like I said, it's a RouterOS bug, we need to fix it.

ok i was able to get this to work. i dont know if it has any relation or if it is a possible solution for my problem.
i can get what i want by running the command
/interface wireless registration-table print count-only
if i can get this into a label.... im happy
is this possible or are we in the same boat as using the oid's?
