MikroTik Bandwidth and Resource Monitoring With Graphs
MikroTik Bandwidth and Resource Monitoring With Graphs
So, in Graphing we need to configure Interface Rules, Queue Rules and Resource Rules
which will record traffic and resource data and display graphs in winbox or web
interface. The following sections will show how to create interface, queue and resource
rules in your MikroTik Graphing.
Login to your MikroTik Router and go to Tools > Graphing menu item. Graphing
window will appear.
Click on Interface Rules tab and then click on PLUS SIGN (+). New Interface
Graphing Rule window will appear.
Choose your desired interface, which traffics you want to view graphically, from
Interface dropdown menu. If you want to view all interfaces’ traffic, select all from
Interface dropdown menu.
Put your desired IP Address or Network, which is allowed to view this interface
graph in webpage, in Allow Address input field. If you don’t provide any specific IP
Address, all IP Addresses will be able to view this interface graphs.
Click on Apply and OK button.
First Interface Rule for Graphing has been completed. Similarly, you can create as many
Interface Rules as you want and can view traffics graphically.
In Graphing window, click on Queue Rules tab and then click on PLUS SIGN (+).
New Queue Graphing Rule window will appear.
Choose your desired simple queue, which traffics you want to view graphically, from
Simple Queue dropdown menu. If you want to view all simple queues’ traffic,
select all from Simple Queue dropdown menu.
Put your desired IP Address or Network, which is allowed to view this simple queue
graph in webpage, in Allow Address input field. If you don’t provide any specific IP
Address, all IP Addresses will be able to view this simple queue graphs.
Click on Apply and OK button.
First Queue Rule for Graphing has been completed. Similarly, you can create as many
Queue Rules as you want and can view traffics graphically.
In Graphing window, click on Resource Rules tab and then click on PLUS SIGN (+).
Resource Graphing Rule window will appear.
Put your desired IP Address or Network, which is allowed to view resource graph in
webpage, in Allow Address input field. If you don’t provide any specific IP Address,
all IP Addresses will be able to view this resource graphs.
Click on Apply and OK button.
Resource Rule has been created successfully. Now it is possible to monitor your
MikroTik Resource (CPU, RAM and Disk) usage graphically.
Go to Tools > Graphing and then click on Interface Graphs tab. Your created
interface rules will be available here. Click on your desired rule twice. Your desired
graph will appear where you can inspect your traffic which is passed through this
interface.
Now click on Queue Graphs tab. Your created queue rules will be available here.
Click on your desired queue whose bandwidth you want to inspect. You will get your
desired bandwidth usage report graphically.
Again, click on Resource Graphs tab and click on your desired resource (CPU, RAM
or Disk) twice and you will find your resource usage graphs now.
You can easily configure MikroTik Graphing Tool to monitor bandwidth and resource
usage if you follow my above steps properly. However, if you face any confusion, feel
free to watch my video about MikroTik bandwidth and resource monitoring with graphs.
I hope, it will reduce your any confusion.
How to View Bandwidth and Resource Usage Graphically with MikroTik Graphing has
been explained in this article. I hope, you will be able to create and view your MikroTik
bandwidth and resource usage graphs easily following my steps properly. However, if
you face any confusion, feel free to discuss in comment or contact with me
from Contact page. I will try my best to stay with you.
