When I build a link to monitor a PPPoE connection, it gets reset when the PPPoE connection goes down. It has to be rebuilt. Is there a way to make it stay - and just show the link down? Thanks.
The problem is that PPPoE connection interfaces are dynamic in RouterOS, i.e. they really disappear/don’t exist when the PPPoE connection is down.
There was a thread some time ago (about continually graphing PPPoE users, which suffers from the same problem) that suggested creating those PPPoE interfaces statically, which would make them “be there” always. See here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/retain-graphs-under-tools-graphing/5571/1

Or the dude could just see it was a dynamic Interface and monitor it based on its name rather than interface ID - like MRTG does
I think that option would be best for the users of the program!!! I wonder how difficult it would be for MT to make it happen?
What are the chances that Dude developers will implement such a feature?
cmit’s suggestion fixes your problems. i don’t see a reason to make something else
Are you serious? Why would anyone want to create PPPoE users on a static interface? Dynamic is the function - works very well. I think the fix would be for the MT guys to make an option that works with something many of their users deploy. Am I right - or am I the only one that cares?
I think it will be much better if you implement it. I have radius+mysql auth for pppoe and i never do some additional configs on MT for adding or removing accounts.
agreed - no point in implimenting on MT when Radius can do that for you…
