7.1.1 firewall connection

RouterOS Scripting
1

regularly command:
ip firewall connection print count-only
results in an error: script error: no such item (4)

I’ve tried isolating the command with:
: do {} on-error = {)
It doesn’t help either.
The problem has been going on in my memory since 2016.
I’d like to solve it very much.
Maybe someone knows a solution?

I understand that the number of records is constantly changing.
But this is a statistical command, which, in principle, should not lead to an error.

Can you elaborate more on how you use the command,
and maybe provide the Script or Scheduler you use it in ?

I quickly tested the command in a script without error on both 6.49.1 and 7.1.1

ip firewall connection print count-only where dst-address~“:1701”

For instance.

I have multiple routers.
This problem is on those routers with a lot of connections (3000 - 10000).
Every second the amount changes dramatically.
The problem appears in about 25% of requests


for x from=0 to=100 do={ip firewall connection print count-only where dst-address~“:1701”;ip firewall connection print count-only where src-address~“:1701”; }

Run this loop in terminal and you will see the problem

Try this,

/ip firewall connection print count-only interval=1 where dst-address~":1701" || src-address~":1701"

I’ve tried many different options.
The problem is in RouterOS

/ip firewall connection print count-only interval=1 where dst-address="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1701" || src-address="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1701"

And that doesn’t work either
