Graphing stuff with MikroTik

Normunds is back yet again with another super short video - using Graphs in RouterOS.
help.mikrotik....

[@Poppy-ub3zb]

Does the graph consume storage overtime until space is full? and How long will the storage (rom) last if the rom has been written over and over?

[@boomtechreviews]

Routeros V8 full source 🔍

[@slitzownz2376]

Such an awesome feature but barely usable without "save on usb/sdcard" option.

How to store graphs on external ssd/flash and by this extend internal flash lifetime ?

[@jointercz]

It would be nice if it would be possible to define size of the web graphs somewhere, they seems to me to be very small (at 2560x1600 screen). Also be aware in IP, Services, you need to define IP ranges from which the WWW service is accessible, else access will be denied.

[@afriezal]

i have rb5009, why graphing data lost after i reboot device... please help me,, thanks

[@InfectedFafa]

"RouterOS V8 full source" Sounds legit ...😏

[@danielriossuarez]

Makes me want to double click on the icon just to see if it opens

[@troll338czytb8]

I wonder why graphs only support one address range unlike services or users

[@MustaMT]

Dude tool and graphs are best companion to Mikrotik routers. Although windows app is 32 bit and slows a bit when pulling long term data it still does a good job.

[@Red1Wollip]

Absolutely a great video. Thank you very much for these videos.

[@shalak001]

Is it possible to hide the /graphs http(s) endpoint behind authentication?

[@mikrotik]

No, you can only specify your own IP address in the "Allow address" settings.

[@beefcake0354]

newbie here, question please ... if I plug in a flash drive to hEX and use this graphing tool. by selecting "store on disk", does it mean that hEX will automatically write to my inserted flash drive instead of built-in flash inside the router itself?

[@mikrotik]

Graphing is an older feature, it does not support custom path, so this checkbox will store on internal disk, and you can't specify other disks for it.

[@beefcake0354]

@@mikrotik thanks

[@shalak001]

What's the storage policy for those graphs? How can I check if the data is not overfilling my storage space? It keeps the whole year, doesn't it?

[@AlexPebodyGM]

And don't forget open 80 or 443 (services) port for your's network IP's.

[@shalak001]

Is there a way to make the data persist after running `/system reset-configuration`?

[@el-kabilla3488]

looks like they finally fixed Graphs page not available over https!

[@rad308]

What about mesh like in other vendors eg. AiMesh etc ?

[@painsufferingofmuslimummah8712]

please more detail about wireless HT MCS

CAN YOU MAKE VIDEO ABOUT USER MANAGER ?

[@alimibrahem8120]

So i am using RB951ui with mipsbe architecture, i setup the graphing as you mention Mr normis. But that's not work..! Is it for arm only..?

[@mikrotik]

No, it works for all router models. Remember you must wait at least 5 minutes, for first data to be shown

[@DanielKellner]

How much additional CPU resources does this tool need? With the default setting, it looks the router computes and renders about ~50 GIFs (4 per interface, 12 for resources) every 5 minutes.

[@mikrotik]

CPU usage of this feature is negligible, it works great even on our lowest end devices and does not disturb any other functions of the device.

[@matelotjim9035]

Thanks, I had issues getting Graphs working with HTTPS previously in ROSv7, is it still HTTP only?

[@mikrotik]

Graphs in 7.5 should work fine with https

[@matelotjim9035]

@@mikrotik Excellent, I'll give them another try in my EVE-NG sandbox.

[@ibrahim.eldakroury]

great video but i asked you to help me to get comment from ip-binding which has the same Mac-Address on Ip Hotspot users , to add it in comment with below script ip hotspot active :foreach i in=[find] do={ :local date [ /system clock get date] :local time [ /system clock get time] :global mac [get $i mac-address] :global add [get $i address] :global us [get $i user] :global inter [/ip ho get 0 interface] /ip hotspot user :foreach nm in=[find name=$us] do={ :global mac2 [get $nm mac-address] :if ( $mac ="$mac2") do={} else={ set $nm mac-address="$mac" address="$add" comment="$date at $time" }}}

bestest ever

[@SB-qm5wg]

rrd?

[@green-media-pl]

Is it possible to show stats only for login user?

[@mikrotik]

First, make a Queue for this specific user. You don't even need to specify any speed for this Queue. Then add new Graph rule, and specify allowed IP address to this user address.

[@green-media-pl]

@@mikrotik This is a great idea, I didn't know about it. I wrote it bad. I meant that I have remote access to login into the router and that's ok, but I would not like to show the whole world my stats, can it be limited

[@mikrotik]

You can only limit by firewall, to block access from public interface to specific ports. Allow only from specific IP. Also - do not open the router to the whole world, this opens possibility of hacking. Allow access to your router only from secure VPN
