Mikrotik throughput for py3status

Measure interface throughput from your Mikrotik device straight to py3status.

Requirements

Enable SNMP on your device

/snmp set enabled=yes

Install dependencies

pip3 install pysnmp

Copy the script to the appropiate folder.

$HOME/.i3/py3status/

Get the OID of the interface you want to monitor.

We need the bytes-in and bytes-out property. You can print all oid values for your interface by issuing [admin@MikroTik] > /interface print oid

Add the module to your i3status.conf

order += "mtwan"
mtwan  {
	snmp_host = '192.168.1.1' 
	snmp_port = 161 
	snmp_community = 'public'

	wan_in =  '.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.4'  # OID of bytes-in
	wan_out = '.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.4' # OID of bytes out
	format = 'bit'                         # Format 'bit' or 'byte'
	acc = 2                                # Set accuracy of calculations (longer poll-time in seconds)
	refresh = 2                            # Sets the time in seconds between each update
        threshold = -1                         # Thresold value for changing to COLOR_HIGH
}

All values are listed as default values. Required values are WAN_IN, WAN_OUT and SNMP_HOST.
