[Help] How to stop bandwidth-test in RouterOS API ?

RouterOS Scripting
1

if I command bandwidth-test without duration to test bandwidth all time ,
and when I want to stop bandwidth-test to see the results ?

what command to stop bandwidth-test in RouterOS ?
ex. quit()


because I use PEAR2_Net_RouterOS-1.0.0b5 to create my custom bandwidth-test php program.


thank you

You need to include a unique “.tag” with the bandwidth-test command when you issue it, and then use “/cancel” with the “=tag” parameter to identify the bandwidth-test process in order to stop it. See the documentation on the Wiki: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:API#Tags

Thank you , Nathan

but I’m just a newbie for coding this mikrotik command.
so how I gonna use /cancel =tag={my own tag} in my php code?
and I also login via winbox to see the process , I don’t know what is command or what menu to see the process ?

I try to create “/ip arp add 192.xxx.xxx.xxx” with tag name = arp1 and try to see and cancel with “/cancel = tag=arp1” .
it isn’t working.

Yes, you need to add a tag, run asynchronously (i.e. not wait for all responses, since you’ll never get them all without a duration), and eventually cancel.

To do that,

$client->sendAsync(
    new RouterOS\Request('/tool bandwidth-test address=8.8.8.8', null, 'bt'),
    function ($response) {
        if ($response->getType() === RouterOS\Response::TYPE_DATA) {
            //Do what you will here

            //When you're ready to cancel, do this
            return true;
        }
    }
);
//If you want to set up multiple requests at once do it in place of this,
//by repeating the above with according tweaks.

//If ready, do this
$client->loop();

Hello, boen_robot

Thank you for your advice.
but Could you describe and more examples about this code ?
because I am a newbie for this .
I understand some line that you example tag name = ‘bt’ , bandwidth-test ip-address = ‘8.8.8.8’, $response->getType() = show result that you want to see.

if I do,

$client->sendAsync(
    new RouterOS\Request('/tool bandwidth-test address=8.8.8.8', null, 'bt'),
    function ($response) {
        if ($response->getType() === RouterOS\Response::TYPE_DATA) {

            // I want to see result like this
            echo 'duration : '.$response->getProperty('duration')."\n";
            echo 'tx-current : '.$response->getProperty('tx-current')."\n";
            echo 'rx-current : '.$response->getProperty('rx-current')."\n";

            //When you're ready to cancel, do this
            //return true;
        }
    }
);
//If you want to set up multiple requests at once do it in place of this,
//by repeating the above with according tweaks.

//If ready, do this
$client->loop();

how do I send

return true;

into the code to stop bandwidth-test like code above that you example to me.

thank you boen_robot and Nathan
