## Description
|
|
MKTXP-Stack is a dockerized monitoring stack for [MKTXP Exporter](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp).
|
|
|
|
As an out-of-the-box solution, it lets quickly get up & running with [MKTXP](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp), [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/), and [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) and have multiple Mikrotik RouterOS devices monitored with least amount of configuration.
|
|
|
|
While complementary to [MKTXP](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp), this project also adds some extra capabilitis such an [centralized Mikrotik log processing](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp-stack#mikrotik-centralized-logging) based on a preconfigured [syslog-ng](https://www.syslog-ng.com/) / [promtail](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/clients/promtail/) / [Loki](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest) stack.
|
|
|
|
The project offers multiple [docker-compose configurations](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp-stack/blob/main/README.md#alternative-docker-compose-configurations), to load only relevant parts of the stack as actually required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements:
|
|
[Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install & Getting Started:
|
|
- Download the code from this repository and extract it into a directory:
|
|
```
|
|
wget https://github.com/akpw/mktxp-stack/archive/main.zip
|
|
unzip main.zip
|
|
cd mktxp-stack-main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### MKTXP Exporter
|
|
- Configure mktxp as described in [MKTXP Getting Started](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp#getting-started):\
|
|
a) edit the main mktxp config file, adding your Mikrotik device ip address & authentication info to provided sample entry:
|
|
```
|
|
nano mktxp/mktxp.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
b) if needed, [add a dedicated API user](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp#mikrotik-device-config) from the mktxp config to your RouterOS device:
|
|
```
|
|
/user group add name=mktxp_group policy=api,read
|
|
/user add name=mktxp_user group=mktxp_group password=mktxp_user_password
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Run docker-compose:
|
|
```
|
|
docker-compose -f ./docker-compose-mktxp.yml up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now give the containers some time to start up and point your Web browser to [Grafana](http://localhost:3000).\
|
|
You should see the default MKTXP Dashboard:\

|
#### Mikrotik Centralized Logging
|
|
In addition to RouterOS devices monitoring, MKTXP-Stack also rovides a preconfigured [syslog-ng](https://www.syslog-ng.com/) / [promtail](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/clients/promtail/) / [Loki](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest) stack to send logs from your Mikrotik RouterOS devices to a centralized location:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
To make it work, we need to configure our Mikrotik devices to send their logs to a specified log server target. Let's first configure the corresponding remote action (replace XX.XX.XX.XX with your docker-compose host IP address):
|
|
```
|
|
/system logging action
|
|
set remote bsd-syslog=yes name=remote remote=XX.XX.XX.XX remote-port=514 src-address=0.0.0.0 syslog-facility=local0 syslog-severity=auto target=remote
|
|
```
|
|
Next, let's modify relevant log topics to use this action:
|
|
```
|
|
/system logging
|
|
set 0 action=remote prefix=:Info
|
|
set 1 action=remote prefix=:Error
|
|
set 2 action=remote prefix=:Warning
|
|
set 3 action=remote prefix=:Critical
|
|
|
|
add action=remote disabled=no prefix=:Firewall topics=firewall
|
|
add action=remote disabled=no prefix=:Account topics=account
|
|
add action=remote disabled=no prefix=:Caps topics=caps
|
|
add action=remote disabled=no prefix=:Wireles topics=wireless
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Unless you already done as it during the previous [MKTXP Exporter configuration](https://github.com/akpw/mktxp-stack/blob/main/README.md#mktxp-exporter), run docker-compose:
|
|
```
|
|
docker-compose -f ./docker-compose-mktxp.yml up -d
|
|
```
|
|
ANd that all -- from there, just point your Web browser to included [Grafana dashboards](http://localhost:3000/dashboards) and open the one called "Mikrotik Loki Logs".
