Script file output

RouterOS Scripting
1

I’m pretty new at this scripting stuff. I have a script that compares my arp table entries to my queue entries. This script pertains of a few variables, a while, and a nested while. It runs fine from console when i just paste the contents on the command line. If i put this into a script file and run the script file from console it won’t output any variables. Am i missing something? or do i just need to dump it into a file maybe email the unknowns…not sure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

nvm, i am assuming that since print doesn’t work in a script then find doesn’t work as well…

Here is the command i run in console.

:set y [:len [/ip arp find]]; :put ($y); :put [/queue simple print]; :set bad 0; :set i 0; :set bad 0; :while($i < $y) do={:set
x 0; :while($bad = 0 && $x < [:len [/queue simple find]]) do={:if (([/ip arp get $i address] . “/32”) = [/queue simple get $x target-address]) do={:set bad 1;};
:set x ($x + 1);}; :if ($bad = 0) do={:put [/ip arp get $i address]};:set bad 0; :set i ($i + 1)}


This works…trust me. lol Might be crappy, but oh well. I was wondering if, as a suggestion, mikrotik could implement the functionality of print/put commands in scripts. You could possibly open a terminal window run the command and close the terminal window in that case. I know this only outputs to the terminal screen, but if i implemented email with this, it still wouldn’t work as a script file. So for now i just login to each mikrotik and run this command. Thanks.

Download that syslog tool on the download page
then replace 1.2.3.4 in the follow snippet with your ip (remember to open udp port 514 to your computer)

/ system logging {
  action add remotelogger target=remote remote=1.2.3.4:514
  add topics=script,warning prefix=queues action=remote disabled=no }

Then run this one, perhaps you’ll get a satisfactory solution?

:foreach a in=[ / ip arp find ] do={ :set a [ / ip arp get $a address ]; :if ( [ / queue simple find target-address=( $a . \/32 ) ] = [ :nothing ] ) do={ :log warning ( ip\_not\_queues\_ . $a ) } }

Hm, there is a problem with the target-address= i looked it up in the terminal and it is target-addresses= Also, this doesn’t return anything when i just run in the terminal the command, "/queue simple find target-addresses=192.168.0.2/32 or any form of the ip address. I’m still tinkering with it.

well i dont have anything to test this specific configuration on and i’m too lazy to set it up.

perhaps i spelled it wrong? perhaps you only run v2.8.x or some old v2.9.x version?
