TX RX Rate: SNMP or API?

RouterOS Scripting

Hello!

After searching for a solution without success, I would love help from someone in the Mikrotik community.

I could not find the OID to capture TX and RX Rate for a given interface (ether1, ether2, etc.).

I found how to capture the octets, bytes-in, bytes-out, etc. .. But really have not found how to capture the TX and RX interface rates.

I found that there is an OID called IF-MIB:: ifSpeed​​, but the results are static:

IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.1 = Gauge32: 100000000
IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.2 = Gauge32: 10000000
IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.3 = Gauge32: 10000000
IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.4 = Gauge32: 11000000
IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.5 = Gauge32: 11000000
IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.6 = Gauge32: 100000000
IF-MIB:: ifSpeed.7 = Gauge32: 10000000

Is there any a not static OID to capture traffic (TX / RX)?

I found on the Mikrotik Wiki how to get this information via API (http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Munin_Monitoring), but I’d like to get it via SNMP.

How The Dude, Cacti, MRTG and other programs capture this information?

Thank you!

You can calculate the throughput of an interface using this technique:

take a sample of the total bytes-in, wait 60 seconds and take another sample bytes-in total.

TotalByteIn [t = 0s] is total bytes-in after 0 seconds
TotalByteIn [t = 60s] is total bytes-in after 60 second

The average throughput in this time interval is calculated using this formula (the value is Bps)

(TotalByteIn [t = 60s] - TotalByteIn [t = 0s]) / 60 = Throughput
