Re: how to get interface status on API?

"/interface/print" and check the "disabled" property. It is the string "true" if the interface is disabled, or the string "false" if it is enabled. There is also a separate property called "running", which is also either the strings "true" ...

Re: how can i get rx/tx-rate of an active user (hotspot)?

You can get the rates from "/ip hotspot host". Those rates include any device going through the hotspot interface, including devices that are not yet logged in. You'll want to get the user and their IP from "/ip hotspot active" and associate the IP/MAC combos there with what &quo...

Re: Getting tx-bits-per-second and rx-bits-per-second

Unnamed arguments are not supported. You need to explicitly specify the name. Otherwise, you're calling a command called "Hotspot-Bridge", which does not exist. In the case of monitor-traffic, the argument is called "interface", so: $requests = new RouterOS\Request('/interface mo...

Re: why I can't call the MK class from my main ?

In general, it's best to call a single command that continuously returns data. Said commands can be configured to only return on intervals or in the case of "print" with a "follow" argument, they would only return when there's new stuff to be seen. With that in place, your app ca...

Re: why I can't call the MK class from my main ?

The line MK mikrotik = new MK(IP); is still creating a new local variable (within the method), meaning that you're not using the property. To reference the class property, omit the type specifier, i.e. mikrotik = new MK(IP); Although then again... The app should compile since the property is there, ...

Re: why I can't call the MK class from my main ?

See my last example code. You need to define the variable as a Form1 property (as the code shows). That way, it would be accessible to all methods of the class. The way I've made it there, if the text in textBox3 changes before you've clicked button1, the app will crash, but it should compile either...

Re: why I can't call the MK class from my main ?

I mean that instead of using that particular C# client, using this API client would be much better in the long run. With it, you can easily form arbitrary requests, and retrieve all individual pieces of information related to the reply. Granted your current problem would also happen there, because h...

Re: why I can't call the MK class from my main ?

The line MK mikrotik = new MK(IP); is where the connection and the variable holding it are created. The connection lasts as long as the object lasts. Because that line is within the button click event, what this means is that your connection starts and ends within the button click. The "mikroti...

Re: how can I switch from console to WindowsFormsApplication?

Sure. Just create your UI, and place the code that interacts with the router within the appropriate event for the appropriate UI control. E.g. have a button and a text box, do the action when the button is clicked, and within that same event, place the output in the text box. You can of course put d...

Re: Help on php api

The max-limit value in a queue contains the limit in the form of "upload/download". IIRC, you get the number as bits per second, so doubling an existing limit should be as simple as separating by the "/", doing the multiplication on the two parts, and setting the two new values i...

Re: API Hotspot Login with multiple RADIUS

I've never even attempted to use the "login" command with a RADIUS server in the mix, but I see that there is a separate argument called "domain". Maybe try to specify the domain there? So either $usr = "USERCP58VUZ"; $domain = "mydomain"; $pwd = "58adb62...

Re: Torch sections

Each distinct value of section represents a new "list" of sniffed packets gathered between the previous section and this one. In terms of "times" between each list, that's determined by the "freeze-frame-interval" argument, though yes, I think it defaults to 1 second. I...

Re: How To definition of special character

Using a backslash (the character "\") followed by a hex of the ASCII value is the way for an arbitrary character. Your particular example string (the value of CharSpe that is): :global CharSpe "\21\40\23\24\25\5E\26\2A\28\29\5F\2B\7C\5C\3D\2D\2F\2E\2C\3C\3E\3F\3B\27\3A\22\5B\5D\7B\7D&...

Re: Need to poll simple value from router with Perl

You can use "/ip/arp/print" with a query ("?mac-address=$t_mac"), and get the "address" property from the result. The beauty of the API (compared to SSH) is precisely that the individual properties can be read with relative ease and reliability (as opposed to SSH, where...
