Netwatch and SNMP monitoring

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello,

is it possible to combine the Netwatch tool with SNMP monitoring?

What I want to do is to ping an IP address and have the result (host is reachable or not reachable) be written into an SNMP oid, so I can monitor it.

Is there a way to do that or maybe an even better solution?

Thanks!

I would think its better to use syslog for this.
In a script, run the ping test, if it fail, send a syslog to a monitoring system.

Have a look at my Syslog → Splunk post linked in my signature.

Thanks for your quick response!

Yes, syslog would definitively be a proper solution, also e-mail came to mind, but the problem is it needs to be SNMP …
