SNMP OID's are changed after upgrading from 4.x to 5.4?

RouterOS General
1

After upgrading RouterOS from 4.x to 5.4, some OIDs are changed in the last digit:

> /sys resource pr oid
           uptime: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
  total-hdd-space: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.131073
   used-hdd-space: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.131073
     total-memory: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.65536
      used-memory: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.65536

Cacti template (link) contains following values (works fine until upgrading):

hddTotal = .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1
hddUsed  = .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1
memTotal = .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.2
memUsed  = .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2

Questions:

  1. What is the goal of this change?
  2. Is it possible to change OID’s in ROS settings to previous values?
2

No, unfortunately it is not possible to change OID values.

Okay, but what is the goal of this change?
At now, we have many Mikrotik devices with RouterOS 3/4/5 monitored by Cacti.
It is a bit difficult to use different templates to monitor devices with different ROS versions.

SNMP module was changed and improved on v5.x, it wasn’t possible to use old values.
