Hello.
I’m looking for help.
I have a small network with several mikrotik on them are hubs PPPoE.
I was using PRTG keep statistics download and upload and ping PPPoE clients.
Does anybody know how to do it?
Overall, everything works for the moments when PPPoE session will be broken. when will reconnect PPPoE, PRTG does not recognize the PPPoE interface and does not keep statistics.
What you need to do to PRTG continued his stats?
Check the documentation on PRTG - the interface index that it uses can start with special characters such as _ which tell it to scan for the interface by different criteria such as ifName, ifDescr, etc… Interface indexes can change and using some other criteria than just the index can help in a situation like this.
I’d use snmpwalk to look at everything the 'tik returns about the pppoe interfaces and find something that remains consistent from session to session, and then use that value to help PRTG find the index of the pppoe interface you’re tracking.
Your idea is good, but do not know how to make a rule in PRTG who finds the specified parameters.
Do you have success implementing that?
Could you post the step by step?
Every time that pppoe session is disconnected / reconnected the PRTG stop to track it.
