[Suggestions] New Mikrotik Template

[mojiro]

Some years before I have created a set of templates and scripts for Mikrotik RouterOS.

These days I have started updating these scripts in order to be compatible with Mikrotik v5.26/v6.5 & Cacti 0.8.8b.

If you have any suggestions for something to be graphed please comment!

For the moment I aim to have support for

1) System

• * CPU Load
  * System Uptime
  * Disk Usage
  * RAM Usage
  * System/Processor Temperature
  * Fan
  * Voltage
  * Current

2) IP

• * Active PPP Connections
  * ARP Entries
  * Neighbor count
  * DHCP Server Leases
  * Total Routes count
  * Route count per protocol

3) Network Interfaces (any kind)

• * TX/RX Bits/Bytes
  * TX/RX Packets

4) Wireless Station

• * Signal Strength
  * TX/RX Rate
  * Frequency 802.11b/g & 802.11a

5) Wireless AP / Wireless Virtual AP

• * Total stations count
  * Stations count per AP
  * Noise floor
  * Overall CCQ

6) Wireless Registration Table

• * Signal Strength
  * TX/RX Bits/Bytes
  * TX/RX Packets
  * Uptime
  * SNR
  * TX/RX Signal Strength Ch0/1/2 (I think it is for 802.11n connections)

7) Queues

• * Simple Packets
  * Simple Traffic Bits/Bytes
  * Tree Packets
  * Tree Traffic Bits/Bytes

- - - -

* With red color the additions since the previous version
* With blue color the fixes for current compatibility

Nothing to add. Just waiting for the above list. That would be great already!

I am currently using the Mikrotik Plugin instead. Why not update that one?

[mojiro]

Hello!

I suggest packets per second for each kind of interface.

[mojiro]

you can already do that, but I forgot to mention it

[tomekmak]

Im kinda noob in cacti.
Can you tell me - is there any template with pps monitoring ?

[mojiro]

1. Devices
2. Click on a device
3. (at the bottom of the page) Add Data Query: SNMP - Interface Statistics
4. Add

If you want more help, please create a new topic.

[mojiro]

Until now I have completed the wireless part.
Also cpu, arp, neighbors, temperatures, power, uptime, ram, hdd, dhcp

I have added support for Mikrotik API, in order to collect more data.

I am thinking also for firewall rules, proxy and hotspot

hi, where can i download the new mikrotik templates? thank you...

[mojiro]

They will be available for download when they are ready.

[mojiro]

Also note that for using some special features.. you should have installed memcached
