I have a RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT and I want to collect metrics about my network status (may be tx/rx rate at start) via Prometheus server. I have found this docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/nshttpd/mikrotik-exporter/ but can’t understand where I might use it, on router (so how I can use docker on router?) or on my server (but I can find only armhf docker images). Maybe here you can show me the variats, how I can solve my problem?
I just looked at the sources for 30s, it seems like it’s a piece of go code that you can grab from GitHub and build, that when run periodically queries a Mikrotik server on one side, and exports whatever it collects on http for Prometheus to pull.
Armhf might indicate it’s meant to run on a raspberry pi, since you have sources on GitHub I guess you could build it and run it on your workstation, or anywhere really.
