In this video I will show you how to setup Netwatch setting in MikroTik Router:
Tool -> Netwatch and configuration as the introduction.
Netwatch monitors the state of hosts on the network. Monitoring can be done with the following probe types:
1) ICMP – pings to a specified IP address – hosts, with an option to adjust threshold values
2) Simple – uses ping, without use of advanced metrics
3) TCP conn, to test the TCP connection
4) HTTP GET/HTTPS GET, request against a server you are monitoring
5) DNS – sends DNS query and checks for response.
For each entry in the Netwatch table, you can specify an IP address, ping interval, and console scripts. The main advantage of Netwatch is its ability to issue arbitrary console commands on host state changes.
Script:
UP: /tool e-mail send to=youremail@mail.com subject=”ISP-1 is UP” body=”Dear Admin, The ISP-1 connection is UP on $[/system clock get time]”
DOWN: /tool e-mail send to=youremail@mail.com subject=”ISP-1 is DOWN” body=”Dear Admin, The ISP-1 connection is DOWN on $[/system clock get time]”
