Coding for Mikrotik RouterOS

[Peon]

Evening,

Is it possible to write a app similar to Winbox to display infomation from a Mikrotik?

I have a client and he needs a simple .exe to run and it to tell him what routes are currently active.

Ive tried telling and showing him how to use Winbox and the WebGUI but no success.

Well, you can set up a scheduled task to post to an API and then build the interface from there.

How is your Python?

There's a Python implementation of the RouterOS API:

Yeah...ummm.... MIKROTIK!!!

Assuming the Orc's coding is scratchy, not so good, bad, doesnt actually exist. Would any of your be willing to make a simple application and be paid for it?

Why not set up a Network Monitoring solution like Nagios and give said person access to it? Even LibreNMS is a good solution. Read only accounts are enough.

Because my client likes to do things his way. I tried showing him the webgui and winbox of how to see the default routes.

Its too much for him. He wants a simple .exe to open so he can see something on his screen telling him what he wants to know.

Firstly, what information does said client need? Throughput rates? Routes? BGP session stats? Just to show a green or red light to say it can't do x? You can use the API and get all the info you need, you can use SNMP, You can use LibreNMS then use the API of that to return stats that is only needed.

Your posts are not really descriptive enough to give a solution that will fit your needs, all I can suggest is using LibreNMS and using its API to return the data you only need to show.

I was hoping one could make a simple executable that when opens shows a simple text label saying ADSL route active or WiFi link active. Thats all.

Install a webcam pointed at the router, then your customer can watch the lights.

Could you not setup a graph on the mikrotik, and create a html file that the client can click on that redirects to the mikrotik graphs?

Ive been thinking of something similar.
