Simple Queue is not working for detecting each user traffic

RouterOS General
1

Dear All,
I’m new to Mikrotik & I have recently become NetAdmin of a company which uses Mikrotik.
I would like to monitor users bandwidth usage & know which one of the IPs is using the bandwidth in present time & know his/her speed.
Studying through documentations, I have found out that Simple Queue is a cool tool for this purpose.
I use Mikrotik v 5.7.
I create a simple queue setting 0.0.0.0/0 as Target address & the user IP as dst. Address. But, it doesn’t show any traffic!
I have tried playing with the configurations! But, I had no luck!

Can you please help me explaining me what is wrong with the configurations?!

Thanks

change queue type to ‘default’, or set some limits: if nothing was changed, queue is not installed for resource saving

Thanks for the suggestion! It works on the default mode!
Then, what’s wrong with other modes?!!

nothing wrong. re-read my post. also, as Manual states,

One configuration item in /queue simle’ can create from 0 to 3 separate queues - one queue in global-in, one queue in global-out and one queue in global-total. If all properties of a queue have default values (no set limits, queue type is default), and queue has no children, then it is not actually created. This way, for exanple, creation of global-total queues can be avoided if only upload/download limitation is used.

the funniest thing is

queue type is default

because ‘default’ queue type is not default, default one is ‘default-small’. and if you change it to ‘default’, it won’t be default any more :smiley:

Thanks!
It’s so fun working with such a thing (MT) :smiley:
