How can I print DNS cache from SSH with full addresses?

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi,

I’m trying to develop a bash script that obtains the /ip dns cache print result and parses the content, but RouterOS doesn’t provide me the full addresses when I do this command from SSH:


ktk@ktk8:/tmp$ ssh admin@router /ip dns cache print | fgrep akamai
admin@router’s password:
88 n0g.akamai… 200.160.195.206 2h32m13s
89 n1g.akamai… 200.160.195.206 5h32m13s
90 n2g.akamai… 201.55.233.14 8h32m13s
91 n3g.akamai… 200.160.195.206 2h32m13s

ktk@ktk8:/tmp$


How can I obtain the full addresses (without the ‘…’) through SSH?

Hi there.

Technically what you’re seeing is correct :frowning: Since you’re not opening a full terminal window on the RouterOS box Mikrotik makes some sane assumptions as to your screen width. IT then concatenates (…) the text to fit that width.

The easiest fix for you is to use the following:
ssh admin@router /ip dns cache print detail | fgrep akamai

This should give you the full name - tho you’d likely then have to further sed the output.

Hope this helps
