Scripting w/ frequency monitor?

RouterOS Scripting
1

What would I do to write a script that runs frequency-monitor every 24 hours, and email the result to me?

2

currently it’s impossible to store frequency-monitor output in a file, so this will not be possible to be done.

Any information on the usage of this new command? The docs still don’t mention it…

4 
:global myvar;
frequency-monitor 0 do {:if ($freq = 5180) do={ :set myvar $use;}}

Of course, it is perfectly possible to send myvar via e-mail:)

:global u;
add name="w" source=":while \(\$u = 0\) do={/interface wireless frequency-monitor wlan1 do {:if \(\$freq = 5200\) do={:set u \$use;}}}" policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test
5

there is no such a parameter ‘do’ for this command!

Ups! Seems I have one by mistake:)

[admin@R1] system script> /interface wireless frequency-monitor wlan1

                do
              once  print values once and quit
  refresh-interval
[admin@R1] system script> /interface wireless frequency-monitor wlan1

Sorry to disturb your intimate discussion :sunglasses: , but could someone please shed some light on what the output from frequency-monitor actually means?

yeah, seems that i was not present when this feature was given out :slight_smile:

[admin@pptp_client] interface wireless> frequency-monitor wlan1

<number> -- item number
freeze-frame-interval --

[admin@pptp_client] interface wireless> frequency-monitor wlan1

the newest beta.

Come on, Normunds! :smiley:
Go, go, go!

what, me? let them fight, i better stay here and watch over distance :slight_smile:

The output seems to be correlated with the amount of radios (access-points ?) using particular frequency.

13

seems???

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Looks like this is the most secret command ever implemented in RouterOS… :confused:
I only want to know what the output actually is trying to tell me…

I’m quite open for answers from whomever I’ll get one… :wink:

15

well it is like Eugene said, but we will write something more specific in a moment

16

Fine! I’m looking forward to you unveiling this secret… :wink:

17

Btw… Will the command shows “noises”… Beacause there are some devices that are not working in standart 802.11a/b/g but use the same bands.

18

Hey - perhaps let’s just make a spectrum analyzer from it :sunglasses: …

19

Oh well, I told you :smiley:
They all have been killed because they wanted to reveil this long-kept secret…

Seriously: Did you guys at MikroTik vote for an explanation? (“seems to”… :wink: )

Any chance to get an answer for this question from MikroTik?
