How to get wireless monitor stats via API

RouterOS Scripting
1

HI,

I’m trying to get wireless monitor stats using below code:

 $array = $api->comm("/interface/wireless/monitor", array(
        "=name=" => "$mt_interface",
        "=once=" => "",
   ));

and getting error message: [message] => unknown parameter

Do anyone has solution of this problem ?

If you have a look at the arguments for this command from terminal, using

/interface wireless monitor ?

you’ll see there’s no “name” argument (that’s the “unknown parameter”).

The interface name is instead specified in the “numbers” argument.

HI,

That is true, there is no “name” argument, but the question is how to get statistics using name of interface. It works from command line:

interface wireless monitor Wlan1 once

So how to get wireless monitor statistics using name of interface via API ?

/interface/wirereless/monitor
=numbers=wlan1
=once=

Thanks, works great!

is it possible to use it in PEAR2_Net_RouterOS without “once” ? for example continuous running loop/for and put an “if ($signal < 60 ) then …”

Sure. Well… not in a “for/while” loop, but using the loop() method instead, after previously specifying a callback for each response.

Just… to avoid a serious performance degradation, make sure to also add some reasonable interval.

e.g.

$monitorRequest = new Request('/interface wireless monitor numbers=wlan1 interval=2', null, 'm');

$client->sendAsync($monitorRequest, function ($response) {
    $signal = $response->getArgument('signal');
    if ($signal < 60) {
        //????
    }
});
$client->loop();
