I am having a problem with the Netwatch reporting.

For me the netwatch script do works fine. It should send a log line each time one device goes up and down.
Since the script is very simple, it may be a config error or a bug. Try take som up/down manually and see in the logs.

Upgrade one switch in production from 7.14.2 til 7.15.3 (that have kid control). So far only good news. Less disk space used and less memory used.

That's why I stick with version 7.12, as it's much more stable.

I have no problem with 7.13.1 on several routers with some complex configuration

I also believe that the 7.12 should become to long-term.

Believe is something you do in a church :)

Jotne

I may be in other situation as well so adding "hotspot" may not be needed.

Jotne

Can you double check the broadcast-address? It doesn't look like a broadcast address at all.

That is why I think you can just remove it and it will use bc address for local subnet, eks 178.118.85.255 (if its a c net)

Jotne

Just to confirm by looking at releases last 10 years, 6.49.12 is the first release that going back to stable when previous release in same train was long term.

Not sure if you should put anything in the broad cast address. Here is my settings and works fine for all my devices. /system/ntp/server/print enabled: yes broadcast: yes multicast: yes manycast: yes broadcast-addresses: vrf: main use-local-clock: no local-clock-stratum: 5 auth-key: none

Jotne

MT should put out a hotfix for let's Encrypt

Why?
This is a beta and should not be used in production. Just wait until it are fixed.

Jotne

when a version goes to LT, I have not seen it goes backward to stable.
In my opinion with just small changes, 6.49.12 should be LT version.

Jotne

What????
6.49.10 and .11 Long Term
6.49.12 Stable
Are we going backward now?

Use VPN. If VPN can not be used, following this would help some: 1. Use another port than default. 2. Use port knocking. This prevents someone from seeing open ports. 3. Use a long and good password. 4. Use access list to prevent any random internet from accessing your router. 5. Log everything. 6. ...

In Winbox
Bridge -> Hosts

In Cli
/interface/bridge/host/print

You will see MAC, Interface, Bridge and VLAN for each device.
Then you can mix that together with the \ip\arp\print to get IP for the mac.

Jotne

Can someone suggest how to go about collecting non-DHCP-IP-assigned devices? (To be clear, I mean devices where the IP is set on the device; the DHCP server has no clue about them.) It can be done by comparing arp table with DHCP table. But you will not see IP that do not communicate with or trough...

ticket SUP-136050 updated with autosupout generated on crash of 7.14alpha155

Is 7.14aplpha155 newer than 7.14beta? If not the test should be run on 7.14beta.

If 7.14aplpha155 is newer than 7.14beta, then I do not understand Mikrotiks version naming, since alpha should come before beta.

Jotne

Having 11 bugs corrected "(introduced in v7.13)" is a very important (and bad) signal. 7.13.1 does not have the worst list of number of fixes that was introduced in earlier version, but its in third place the last 10 years :) version count 7.11 14 6.48beta12 12 7.13.1 11 6.46.1 10 6.49bet...

You are missing quotes.

Try this:

Jotne

Update.

Runs fine on 7.13 as well.
I just wrap the whole script in { } and cut past it to a terminal windows. This way its easy to see if some breaks (red color).

PS this i a plain router installed with just default config. So it may be some thing in your config.

Jotne

Script do work fine on my 7.6 test router. Simple Queue was added for the new DHCP release, then removed if script was run after DHCP lease was removed. It may have change some thing in later version that do break it. Will do some more testing.

Just a tip. You can request a free 10GB/day license (Developer License) from Splunk. It will give you all function on Splunk with 10GB/day compare to 500MB/day and limited functions (no alerts, no cluster +++) . Only down side is that you need to request a new license every 6 month. https://dev.splu...

Since I have several devices with dynamic public IP, I think it would be a better solution to use device name only or together with serial number, instead of IP that do changes to identify the device. This will require a mayor rewrite of lots of the code so it need to bee thought trough to not break...

Jotne

Just an FYI: This broke my setup (nothing would arrive at splunk..). The remote logging command was already using an IP as per your instructions under 2a, so this is generally not needed.

Oh common, new user interested in beta versions is either full of adrenaline or plain stupid.

I expect that such warning will be repeated in...

Of course! That is not going away... always first upgrade to 7.12 or 7.12.1 That I do understand :) But for new user reading this thread and are not used to how stuff works, it should be written that to upgrade to 7.13 or later, you need first go to 7.12.x My point was that MT has forgot to add tha...

If someone does not make a support case it will not change.

I tried 7.13 on RBM11g but the scripts don't work anymore!

What script?

PS Do add image to the post use Attachements when in full post mode. Link to other site may go away.

Jotne

Seems that most stuff works in 7.13, but are some skeptical if all the wireless scrips works, since there are more than one menu to go inn too.
And since I do not have all types of model, it would be nice with some feedback if there are things that do not work.

I am asking the representatives of Mikrotik to define for me what they mean by the term "stable". I have a Mikrotik remotely halfway around the world. 1. What is stable as been answered many times here in the forum. 2. Upgrading a production system just as it has released is just asking f...

@andriys Why do you upgrade Android,IOS,Linux,Windows etc. New function, bug fixes and most importante security fixes. I guess you do not skip Windows updates for years? Nor is it recommended to do so. 5.6 was released in Mars 2020 and latest 5.6.19 was released in Juni 2020 , more than 3 years ago.

The client name are just looked up using DNS lookup, so client on remote system will not show up. Not sure if there are any good solution for this. Maybe import all DNS from remote site.

Yee, on step closer to a long term release :)

My problem is that I do not have all MikroTik routers so can not test all hardware. Same its also hard to test all the overwhelming number of configuration option on the router.

This is actually already fixed in 7.13 which is coming soon. Deprecate message will not be sent if actual prefix is re-used.
7.13? not 7.12.1 ???

My thought as well. I am looking forward for a stable long term release 7.12.8

Jotne

Are you suggesting I make a global variable? This is probably one of the options, to make some kind of flag (variable). But I still wanted to understand JOBS.

Yes, it can be used to control the running state of the script.

Jotne

You can make a loop script that test i a variable is true.
Then you can just change the variable from 1 to 0 and the script stops.
