Voltage monitoring with 450G.. and the dude?

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

I have a number of solar sites set up, all have direct powered RB450g’s in them, which have a handy-dandy voltage monitor i can check from winbox.

I’d like to be able to set up the dude to monitor it, and email me if voltage drops below a specified threshold.
graphing and logging of the voltage throughout the day/week/month/year etc would be awesome as well..

is there a way to do this?

thanks,

you can get possible OIDS using this command:

/system health print oid

and then monitor the OID using TheDude

Cool. thanks!

Okay so i have the oid now, but I’m a bit of a dude noob.. can’t find the oid monitor?


edit: oooohhh.. i guess i should have tried a little first, SNMP under probes.. nice :slight_smile:

Ok well I’m stuck again,
I figured out how to set up voltage display on the device tag, and how to set a probe alert when it drops below a given threshold…

now I’m wondering, is there a way with dude to graph the voltage level over time? like it does with latency and stuff?
that way i can get an idea of battery health if (for instance) the voltage is dipping slightly lower during the night than it did on the graph 6 months ago etc.

rb450G has older revision of health monitoring electrical scheme and it was susceptible to temperature.

I had noticed that the voltage readings were often a volt or two lower than what i’d measure with a volt meter (At the jack).
I found some information on correcting it, but as long as i know how much off it is, i can just set the warnings appropriately on a per router basis, so that really isn’t a problem.
are you saying the temperature of the router impacts the voltage reading as well? is it by a known amount?

any way to graph the OID info?

Thanks,

Hello Team how can i monitor device voltage through dude B’cos we are using dc power in our network Plz tell me setups how can i monitor device voltage through dude
