You can use the check_ping probe for that.

As you monitor over the Internet you would need to sourceNAT  the ping_probe traffic for the secondary remote WAN connection checks to another public ip on the Observium side and add a destination route for that sourceNAT’ed ip (host route) on the remote Microtik’s second WAN interface to avoid asymmetric routing.

Hey team, question, is there a way to monitor in a mikrotik with two internet access if both are active? The main link will give us remote snmp access to the equipment but we need to know if there is a way we can verify that the 2nd link that is connected to a DSL modem is up and running.
