is there any way to know the last time RB was connected?

let me explain
when I add a device to the map - all I can see is if it on or off
is there any way I can see when it was last on?
I check the dude only once a week - so it will be very helpful.

Thank you

Not sure if this will help but on each AP I have added wireless with “Rules” to logging and “action” = disk, then in “actions” disk “lines per file” =1000, this way if want to check what was the last time a client was connected to AP i scroll through the log, no doubt someone else may have a better solution.

nice idea , but not What I meant
my RB’s are working 2 times a day for 7 hours (lets say from 00:00-07:00 , and 14:00-21:00)
I check the dude once a week - so I need to know that the RB worked today from 00:00-07:00 \ or didn’t work for 2 days…


Thank you!

The only way I can come up with is to create a “notification” that executes on the server. That notification would create a file “hostname.txt” with the date and time in it that the device failed.

The down notification would create the host name based file and an up notification would delete the file (or empty the file).

Add a global label that shows the contents of “hostname.txt” and when ever the file exists the label on the device will show it. Keep in mind that hostname.txt is coming from using [Device.Name] in that notification execute. (it might not even work)

It seems there should be a much easier way to deal with it in a notifications but I can’t think of it… I can post the details on this if you are still interested.

I messed around with this quite a bit, I want labels to show what time the outage started as well. The only way I came up with would require a unique probe for every device.

Also this is already solved by email so it is not worth trying to make it work. It would be a good feature though.

Thank you for all the help.

Double click the device, and go to the Outages tab. All device activity and outage duration is listed there.

o.k. - this is very good
but all I see is
resolved time=10:12:23 duration=32:23 service=ping

do I need to open any service that show me the date and not only the time??
all I have open in service is ping,mikrotik

Thank you!
