PRTG lets you optimize network capacity planning by using our native SNMP Traffic sensor which shows incoming, outgoing and total network traffic per interface. Monitoring network trafficĪs a responsible administrator, you hope to obtain an overview of how much traffic is flowing through your network. Curious to know how to monitor network traffic via SNMP and flow protocols? If so, please continue reading.

The Syslog protocol can be enabled and configured at “ MikroTik UI > System > Logging > Actions > remote”.Īnd this is only a part of the metrics we can gather with PRTG. īy navigating to “ MikroTik UI > IP > SNMP”, you can enable and configure SNMP and SNMP Traps.

As the names of the sensors imply, these sensors will provide us with the metrics of system uptime, CPU load, physical memory and free disk space.Īny configuration change done within the RouterOS and that can be detected by SNMP Trap or logging can also be shown in PRTG by using two receiver sensors – SNMP Trap Receiver sensor and Syslog Receiver sensor. For example, port 8291 is used for connecting via Winbox and 8728 for API connections.Īs both PRTG and MikroTik can speak SNMP (v1, 2c and v3), we can leverage off it by adding the following SNMP sensors: SNMP System Uptime sensor, SNMP CPU Load sensor, SNMP Memory sensor and SNMP Disk Free sensor. They will check if the MikroTik device can respond to ICMP or HTTP queries, and if certain ports are open and accessible. The starting point would be to add Ping sensor, HTTP sensor and Port sensor. By using General sensors and some of the SNMP sensors, we can get insight into diverse metrics such as availability, port status, uptime, utilization and logging ( find out more about SNMP monitoring with PRTG here) PRTG has dozens of sensors you can use to monitor metrics on your MikroTik or any other device. The RB3011UiAS-RM unit comes with a 1U rackmount enclosure, a touchscreen LCD panel, a serial console port, and PoE output functionality on the last Ethernet port. The RB3011 has ten Gigabit ports divided into two switch groups, an SFP cage and a SuperSpeed full-sized USB 3.0 port, for adding storage or an external 3G/4G modem. For demonstration purposes, I'll use a multi-port MikroTik RB3011 router running on an ARM architecture CPU (1.4 GHz x 2), 1 GB RAM, and 128 MB disk space. In this article, you´ll see how Paessler PRTG monitoring software monitors the hardware and software components of MikroTik devices.
