Hello All,
I’ve run into a device specific issue with Mikrotik and am looking for some advice. I want to track a few MIB-defined variables like mtxrWlRtabStrength (signal strength, source https://mibs.observium.org/mib/MIKROTIK-MIB) and produce graphs. I added a custom OID for this but the snmpget command is failing.
In theory, if I want to get data on OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 I should be able to get it, but unfortunately snmpget in the poller errors out. It appears that for Mikrotik we need to attach the rest of the, and this is the problem, device-specific address to the OID. e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3 (and .0,.1) does not work but .1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3.100.209.84.175.14.243.1 does. It will only get the data from that one device, not from any others.
The easy way for me test this is to run the poller command: snmpget -t '10' -v1 -c xxx -Pud -OUQnv 'udp':'radio-leehill.nv0n.qth':'161’ 1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.1.2.1.3
Anyway, I’m wondering if there is a way in observium that I haven’t discovered yet that will get me graphs on various wireless activities from the registration table. The use case is to monitor things like signal strength and signal to noise to know when a wireless link is below a threshold. High winds up here tend to bend and destroy dishes even with a stiff-arm attached.
Thanks,
Joey
ps. Adam, the Mikrotik MIB was updated on 15 Sept if you haven’t seen it: https://box.mikrotik.com/f/a41daf63d0c14347a088/?dl=1 https://box.mikrotik.com/f/a41daf63d0c14347a088/?dl=1

We do actually have an entity type for p2p radios that this might fit into, what are are these? WiFi or infrastructure radio?
Adam.

Infra - I’d say the majority are https://mikrotik.com/product/RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM https://mikrotik.com/product/RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM and similar

Thanks for the hint Adam, our Ubnt indeed show up in P2P. Screenshot enclosed. The question is how to get our various Mikrotik radios in there. We have about 18 different models, some are routers not infra wifi.
