I read about skins and creating custom landing status pages. It seams really useful provided you login to look at it and keep your browsers open the whole day on that one page. I am looking for a way to have it display those nice graphs in webfig on a web page that does not require you to enter a user name and password. We have been having problems with our internet service provider and would like to see what our line usage looks like and when our line drops.
I am looking for a way to create a iframe mashup that will let me display only the traffic in bytes graph on specific interfaces.
Is it even possible. From every thing I have seen in webfig it looks like one giant JavaScript app. I am comfortable writing some javascript to get it done. Is there a javascript API, or AJAX interface that I can work with.
Will the guys at MikroTik be providing the nice animated webfig graphs over the others provided by http://[routeros ip]/graphs/.
That’s not possible as you planned it, but I have a good tip for you.
Take these facts:
admin and no password will log in automatically
You can customize the skin for a specific user
So you can make a read-only account with username admin and no password. Customize the skin for this login, so that it only sees these graphs. When somebody opens the router webpage, he will be redirected to the graph view.
Will have to give it a try some time. Just to see how it could work.
At the office we have added a password for Admin. The router is publicly accessible, hence a security risk to leave admin open. So I doubt we will be going the password less route.
We would have to go and create an other user and assign them all of Admin permissions, and then remove all of Admins’ permissions. Which might now work as expected cause Admin is the default user for a lot of different aspects of the routeros configuration.
that’s why I said that admin needs to be with very limited rights (read only etc). your real administrative account needs to have different login name.
