Netwatch up and down

RouterOS Scripting
1

I’ve added netwatch to monitor every interface (we struggle with some APs not responding sometimes). To make sure I don’t get more than one email pr. incident (instead of periodic 30sec emails), i set the up/down-script enabled/disabled, but it seems silly coded. Could this be done better? I’m thinking a generic script, which is called with an argument or two to send an email.

add comment=GuestNetUp up-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Guest net is up\" start-tls=yes body=\"Guest net 192.168.2.2 is up:  \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=GuestNetUp]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=GuestNetDown]" host=192.168.2.2 interval=30s


add comment=GastrofixNetDown down-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Gastrofix net is down\" start-tls=yes body=\"Gastrofix net is down:  \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixNetDown]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixNetUp]" host=192.168.7.1 interval=30s
add comment=GastrofixNetUp up-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Gastrofix net is up\" start-tls=yes body=\"Gastrofix net is up:  \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixNetUp]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixNetDown]" host=192.168.7.1 interval=30s

add comment=KontorDown down-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Kontor net is down\" start-tls=yes body=\"Kontor net is down: \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=KontorDown]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=KontorUp]" host=192.168.1.1 interval=30s
add comment=KontorUp up-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Kontor net is up\" start-tls=yes body=\"Kontor net is up: \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=KontorUp]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=KontorDown]" host=192.168.1.1 interval=30s

add comment=GastrofixMasterDown down-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Gastrofix master is down\" start-tls=yes body=\"Gastrofix master is down:  \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixMasterDown]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixMasterUp]" host=192.168.7.41 interval=30s
add comment=GastrofixMasterUp up-script="/tool e-mail send to=xxx subject=\"Gastrofix master is up\" start-tls=yes body=\"Gastrofix master is up:  \$[/system clock get time]\"; /tool netwatch disable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixMasterUp]; /tool netwatch enable [/tool netwatch find comment=GastrofixMasterDown]" host=192.168.7.41 interval=30s

Hello,

Netwatch should not and does not send multiple emails per incident.
It sends one on down and one on up.
If you get multiple emails, might be because your ports are flapping or your APs are restarting/crashing

I’ll experiment with it.
But first time when I configured the netwatch, i received multiple emails. If the port is flapping, shouldn’t it then also send multiple with my current setup (disable/enable)?
