Please add numbers on Y-axis in Bandwidth Test

Hello,

Please add numbers on Y-axis in Bandwidth Test

You know you can hold mouse button down on chart and measure every recorded entry? Once you start dealing with Y-axis, people will start asking for X-axis, later zooming and suddenly, graphing will be over-complicated.

You are troll? Try mouse over my screenshot.

No need for insults. Try mouse over BEFORE screenshot …

We need numbers on the Y-axis so that they can be seen in the screenshots (if you do not understand this from the first message).

Yes, and everyone is telling you how to do it:

we need more than one number, we need a few numbers (at least two - at the bottom and at the top)

Not possible and not planned, sorry. You should use SNMP monitoring tools for more advanced picture of your traffic. The graphs on the interfaces are for a quick overview of the current situation. Use any SNMP monitor for what you want.

this is a joke? how do you imagine a bandwidth test through snmp?

Monitor the interface while doing the test, where is the problem?

Bandwidth Test shows results every 1 second. Snmp monitoring software can not show so frequently.

Not true. Ask however much you need, SNMP will give information in one second or less, depends on the software. Please just test it, like I did.

watch -n0.2 snmpget -c public routerIP .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.1

According to my experience the SNMP load is not negligible and when the polling is over tested link you could get no answer easily. So the SNMP is not the adequate tool in this case.

Why not use an iperf3 utility with a GUI? You should not be connected to the device under test, either way.

Why don’t you just add those two numbers? Even if we can use the mouse over … it’s time consuming, you need to remember the range when observing the graph, … instead of only opening graph one needs to exercise their left wrist :unamused:

I agree that having the min-max values shown at all times is useful .

After looking at #9 I must change my opinion. It might be doable and useful, however not as it is suggested
Firstly, there is no real reason for “min” value as it is always zero.
Secondly I believe mikrotik has some standartized framework for GUI so adding those non-standard elements outside of chart area might be complicated. HOWEVER, putting this “max” number inside of the chart (preferably on left-top corner of the chart) might be worth of try.

@normis, can you please consider that? There is already box with Rx/Tx actual values in bottom-left corner so we know that it is possible to put text element in the chart. Also it is obvious that max value is recorded because it is used for chart scaling… What if you simply display this “max” value in top-left corner? Once user know the max value, he can interpolate value of each grid-line. This might really make things easier and I bet it would not be that hard as real axis scale.

Of course there is a reason for min value. It’s not always zero.
You are not thinking this through. If for example you have constant traffic between 2 and 10 mbps, then the min value for that traffic at that time will not be zero but 2mbps.
