Background
This is Prometheus exporter for Mikrotik routers and switches.
Usage
Supply MIKROTIK_USER
, MIKROTIK_PASSWORD
using .env
file.
Spin up the containers:
docker-compose up --build
Wait for targets to be scraped, open up Prometheus to run queries:
- rate(mikrotik_interface_rx_bytes[1m])
- rate(mikrotik_interface_tx_bytes[1m])
- rate(mikrotik_interface_rx_packets[1m])
- rate(mikrotik_interface_tx_packets[1m])
Why not SNMP
SNMP for whatever reason is horribly slow on Mikrotik, see here for discussion. It takes 2+ minutes to scrape over SNMP vs few seconds over management API. Also PoE status codes are not fully documented for SNMP, see forum post here.
