hosting looking glass into microtik files

Hi, we are hosted at a Data center where we have a core router only for PNI only.
We need to host looking glass there.

https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass

Can we simply upload this to Microtik/Files and access it and get the results ?

No.

oh badluck :frowning:

You need a system that can run PHP. It can be as simple as a Raspberry Pi.
In theory it would be possible to run a Metarouter running Linux on some MikroTik models, but I think
support for it is dwindling and it is very hard to get it running and stable.

Be aware this looking glass only supports ping/trace/mtr, no BGP.

I’ve worked on a similar project a little while back to support Mikrotik Routers and Quagga.

https://github.com/Cha0sgr/BGP-Looking-Glass-NG

It’s heavily built for use in http://www.awmn.net network, but it can work without it.
It mainly supports connecting to Mikrotik routers and listing their BGP routes in cisco/quagga ‘sh ip bgp’ format, but it also supports traceroute via mikrotik.
It doesn’t support other features that https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass has, but since the project is open source you are very welcome to add new features if you’d like :slight_smile:


Oh, and to answer your original question, not you cannot use any of these systems directly on mikrotik. You need a separate LAMP server.

how will a user see from frontend the ping and trace ?

I don’t understand the question.
