You need to downlaod the the dude app to acces the data. Supports SNMP, ICMP, DNS and TCP monitoring for devices that support it. MikroTik - The Dude - No more active development, resume unknown This would be the best way to achieve what you want to do (collecting user usage statistics and storing it in one place). MikroTik has a software called The Dude, that runs on some sort of computer acting as a server (an always on computer to receive, monitor, and store the data collected from the statistics). The free CHR license gives you 1Mbps throughput which for SNMP monitoring is plenty. You could use any Mikrotik router but since it’s heavy on logging I use a Mikrotik CHR as a VM just to host the dude. It’s a client-server application and the server nowadays only runs on a Mikrotik router as a separate package. “ The Dude” is what the tool is called (yeah I don’t know why they called it that either).

The downside of this solution is that it's unfortunately not a fully-featured. DUDE server can also host a syslog server, so you can have centralized log ingestion. For some more features, you should also enable SNMP on your routers. Note that DUDE requires IP access to WinBox from the management network. If you have a powerful enough router in the network, one of your options is to use The DUDE (Documentation).

Question about central or cloud management I tried using Wireshark to figure out which URL is being called but my knowledge here is VERY limited and I couldn’t figure it out. Is there a way to programatically turn off Downtime on a child device? Https:/// returned a score of 28, with "unused javascript" taking 14.9 seconds to load. Https://returned a performance score of 10/100, with a time to interactive score of 36.1 seconds!
