Traffic Graphing Widget

Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:50 am

Im looking for a live windows widget that will show traffic graphs like we can see in winbox interface/ehernet/traffic. I'm not a coder, barely know .rsc. just a script kitty. but it would be so awesome if I could look at a windows widget kind of like Rainmeter but just see at any point how much traffic is going through a particular interface on my Mikrotik without having to log into winbox. Any ideas?

You can have a look at my MikroTik for Splunk project. You can graph anything.

Not trying to compete with the Splunk setup of @Jotne

But also acting as a script kiddie , I just noticed this:

1. With the extra IOT package (since ROS 6.48.3) , the router can publish data on MQTT: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/MQTT

2 Then there is a home automation exemple, that does their graphing with Grafana
(MT IOT MQTT -> MQTT broker Mosquitto -> Nodered -> influxDB -> Grafana)
Mosquitto, Nodered, Influxdb, Grafana are all avalable as free Docker images. There are many possible hosts for Docker containers to run.
Not sure that MT routers have enough memory to run them all. But Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Synology NAS, PC, etc etc can handle some or all of them.

The list on tutorials on those softwares is long ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUabB_7H710
Or even this: https://github.com/M0r13n/mikrotik_monitoring

To display traffic graphs for a specific interface on your Mikrotik router, you may want to consider using a third-party tool such as PRTG Network Monitor. PRTG can monitor network traffic for a variety of devices, including Mikrotik routers, and provides customizable graphs and alerts.
