Idea to Monitor the Mikrotik Traffic and Flow Traffic

[DanielBendersky]

Hi, first of all, thanks for share the backup script. Very use-full and nice work. Currently I need to monitor the usage of the Mikrotik and I'm looking for the best and easy way to do it. I want to monitor traffic and flow traffic in order to get know the type of traffic, the top destinations and so on. The problem is that there is many ways to do it. I think that the less invasive way is to implement a script in the Mikrotik that send the data over Syslog or MQTT so then we can get that data in a Node RED Server and store it in a InfluxDB. I guess Influx is more appropriate for this for speed and easy to save the data. From that point, using Grafana, will give us fenomenal graphs and in a very friendly and easy way to construct them. But the Magic, I think is in the script that collect the info and then send it. Hope this Idea motivate something like this. I can be the beta tester for this type of monitoring script.
