MikroTik 260GS SNMP Dashboard
Video Lecture
Description
I have an SNMP enabled MikroTik 260GS switch configured as a host in my Zabbix system. I demonstrate creating a Grafana dashboard for it.
First I will create a dashboard variable, that can be used for the interface selector.
| Name | interface |
| Query Type | Item |
| Group | network |
| Host | MikroTik |
| Item Tag | component: network |
| Item | /.\*/ |
| Regex | /(Interface Port.*)\(/ |
I also show a repeating Stat panel showing the operational status of each interface.
| Visualization | Stat |
| Title | $interface |
| Repeat Options | interface |
| Repeat Direction | Vertical |
| Value Mappings | 1 -> UP Green\n0 -> Down Red |
| Data source | Zabbix |
| Query Type | Metrics |
| Group | network |
| Host | MikroTik |
| Item Tag | component: network |
| Item | /$interface\(\): Operational status/ |
I also create a repeating time series each showing several properties of each interface.
| Visualization | Stat |
| Title | $interface |
| Repeat Options | interface |
| Repeat Direction | Vertical |
| Data source | Zabbix |
| Query Type | Metrics |
| Group | network |
| Host | MikroTik |
| Item Tag | component: network |
| Item A | /$interface\(\): Bits sent/ |
| Item B | /$interface\(\): Bits received/ |
| Item C | /$interface\(\): Inbound packets discarded/ |
| Item D | /$interface\(\): Outbound packets discarded/ |
The item names in the legend are very long, so I can use a transformation to replace the text by regex.
The regex uses a capture group where I exclude the part of teh n ame starting with Interface Port.*:
| Match | Interface Port.*: (.*) |
| Replace | $1 |
I also create a visualization showing the health properties.
| Visualization | Time Series |
| Title | Health |
| Data source | Zabbix |
| Query Type | Metrics |
| Group | network |
| Host | MikroTik |
| Item Tag | component: network |
| Item | /.\*/ |
