Graphing data

RouterOS General
1

The tool graphing is a great feature which I do like and as far as I know you others too.

But I would like to export those data on another datasheet, excel let’s supose or any kind
of database. Is this possible? Also, once when I backed-up a previous setup I noticed that all the data stored for the graph were canceled, was like the router started that very day. It would be useful in this case too to have those data stored elsewhere.

Thank you, Toni

Try to look at http://cacti.net/ for graphing remotely via SNMP. There are also some templates specially made for MikroTik RouterOS.

example:

let’s have ntop configured in a linux box with IP: 192.168.1.1

our Mikrotik has IP: 192.168.1.2

To configure ntop with MT and traffic flow:

  1. set IP → Traffic Flow → Settings Enabled
  2. add address: 192.168.1.1 port: 1234 version: v9
  3. in NTop click Plugins → NetFlow → Configure
  4. set Netflow device: Mikrotik
    set InterfaceAddress: 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0


    That’s it

I tried it with NTOP-XTRA, found it on the openxtra.com, download section.
I installed the version for Windows and the configuration doesn’t change from what
you decribed in UNIX. There is a handfull of information that Ntop provides but still
the graphing of the interfaces on MikroTik is missing.

So I tried MRTG-XTRA, from the same developer, but unfortunately wasn’t able to get
the html page generated although I supose I did all the configuration correctly.

I will try today Cacti, hoping in better chance.

Hi,

What if you have ntop installed on a linux box IP 192.168.10.1 and your netflow MK is 10.6.3.1, 2 routed hops away? would that work?
