creating dude objects by script(sys-id generation problem)

RouterOS The Dude
1

I create bash script which must generate 32 graphs from my 32 SNMP maps links. Its output xml code, which i paste in dude. Graphs created well, but without lines in them. When i create that graps in dude, and then export them, the only difference between xml files is IDs. There is scripts, simple output, and diff output:

how sys-IDs generated in dude? it is theoretically possible to create object this way?

i finded that is no problem with my script, this behavior is specific to dude.
situation:

  1. we create chart, and add 1 line to it
  2. we copy chart to buffer
  3. we delete chart
  4. we paste from buffer
    and no any line in chart!!! terrible.. or not?
  5. rename chart
  6. paste from buffer again
    miracle! added from buffer chart have all it lines with proper datasources

Now! simple modificate script to generate to text files:

  1. with empty charts, with no lines, and fake names (out_dude_pre.txt)
  2. with fullfiled charts, with all needed lines, and same IDs as in fake charts (out_dude_fin.txt)
    then go to Dude and:
  3. open first file (out_dude_pre.txt)
  4. select all(Ctrl+A), copy (Ctrl+C)
  5. goto Dude chart, paste (Ctrl+V). now you have many empty “fake” charts
  6. open second file (out_dude_fin.txt)
  7. select all(Ctrl+A), copy (Ctrl+C)
  8. goto Dude chart, paste (Ctrl+V). now you have all your charts with needed lines
  9. select all fake charts (with Shift key) and delete them

don’t forget to:

  1. put your latest backup in script workdir, and change @backup-2009.01.16.xml@ to you backup name
  2. change variables chart_id and lines_id in script, to values that supposed to be not used
  3. change DataSource expression to yours
  4. change cicle variable to yours
