Monitoring Mikrotik with Linux base MRTG [References]

Following post is about how to monitor Mikrotik System / Routerboard to create live graphs with history for every aspect, like CPU, Memory, Voltage, Amps, Interface etc. It comes very useful when you remotely administrating the system and you need to know what happens over the period of time and have an overview on every internal instance of the system.

I wrote another article that explains well on howto install MRTG in Ubuntu and monitor anything with it, but WORDPRESS coding ruins the code badly, but still you can get idea from it from following URL.

https://aacable.wordpress.com/tag/mrtg-installation-on-ubuntu/

So basically you have to first install MRTG on linux, then you can use that mrtg installation to monitor any devices in your network (which supports snmp that includes mikrotik as well)

1- MIKROTIK SECTION

 

# Enabling SNMP on Mikrotik

First Enable SNMP service (with public as community string or whatever you like on your mikrotik. Make sure no firewall rule is blocking SNMP traffic from/to the monitoring server.

Open Terminal in mikrotik and paste the following command. Or you can configure it via going to IP > SNMP

/snmp community
set [ find default=yes ] addresses=0.0.0.0/0 authentication-password="" authentication-protocol=MD5 encryption-password="" encryption-protocol=DES name=public read-access=yes \
security=none write-access=no

/snmp
set contact=Syed-Jahanzaib enabled=yes engine-id="" location=aacable-wordpress-com trap-community=public trap-generators="" trap-target="" trap-version=1

Now proceed further 🙂

1. Monitoring Mikrotik Simple Queue with Linux base MRTG (for monitoring performance and track purposes)

↓

To monitor simple QUEUE via Linux base MRTG, you can use following config as an example 😀

First you have to check your simple queue OID (numeric value which is used by MRTG to poll specific data from the remote server) in mikrotik. for example you have a queue to allow 100M for proxy cached marked packets.

Open Terminal and print OID for Simple Queue number 0 (your can be changed, but in general Queue for proxy hit packets should be on ** TOP ** )

[admin@MikroTik] /queue simple print

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

0    ;;; Simple Queue for squid Proxy CACHE HIT Packet Allow Unlimited Bandwidth
name=SQ-for-cache-hit interface=all parent=none packet-marks=Cache direction=both priority=8 queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0 max-limit=100M/100M burst-limit=0/0
burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s total-queue=default-small

Now check its OID value which will be used in MRTG to graph the values. Do remember, If you move/delete/add particular Queue , the oid value will change, simply note down new value and recreate graphs with the new values. Also on every system these OIDs are different, simply take a print oid to use them.

[admin@MikroTik] /queue simple print oid

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

0    ;;; Simple Queue for squid Proxy CACHE HIT Packet Allow Unlimited Bandwidth
name=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.2.12534 bytes-in=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.8.12534 bytes-out=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.8.12534 packets-in=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.10.12534
packets-out=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.11.12534 queues-in=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.12.12534 queues-out=.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.13.12534

↓

As showed in the image below . . .

↓

Now we have to take bytes-in and bytes-out value for graphing purposes. which is in our case are

.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.8.12534
.1.3.6.1.4.1.14988.1.1.2.1.1.9.12534

Now you can simply use the below CFG file to create Graphs for the mikrotik simple queue.

SSL Inspection with Squid.3

UNSTABLE / INCOMPLETE guide dueto time shortage.

probably it will be replaced with squid 3.2 with ssl support and dynamic cert geenration

The aim of writing this basic howto is to find methods in SQUID to inspect SSL / HTTPS traffic at very minimum level. In this method, The SQUID will act as a MITM (man in the middle). The aim behind doing this config is to decrypt HTTPS connections to apply content filtering which is usually not possible with traditional http methods.

Also note that https caching is not recommended , at the date of writing this (January 2014) still, I haven’t found any 100% working method to bypass certificate issues.
The only way is to IMPORT certificate to user browser. Importing is OK  for a small network, like cyber/net Cafe or Office, Where you have FULL/PARTIAL CONTROL over user PC, but its not suitable for large network or where you cannot convince ppl to trust the new cert.

Please be aware that RIPPING and decrypting HTTPS is fundamentally against the reasons for using HTTPS. HTTPS is designed for secure connectivity and privacy. Since secure HTTP connections are encrypted SSL sessions between your browser and the secure site, and are meant to be reliably secure. Your users will not trust you if you use it without proper implementation. Every SSL request to the HTTPS site will present an invalid certificate window. Users will get a certificate miss match with the SSL enabled sites they try to visit. They will have to add exceptions to trust the self-signed cert from above for each site (This bump can be covered by a workaround but I will NOT go in that detail for some reasons)

Also if you are ripping SSL traffic, You’re exposing yourself to potential lawsuits for doing ripping user private stuff and possible hacking purposes.

IMPO, This approach is OK for content filtering purposes or for government surveillance or only according to law . There are methods to bypass CERTIFICATE mismatching and via using iptables nat, you can do transparent redirection of 443 to your proxy.

Compiling SQUID by source code with –enable-ssl

Update apt and install few required packages by following

apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev fakeroot devscripts gawk gcc-multilib dpatch

Now create temporary directory where we will download squid source packages for compilation.

mkdir /temp
cd /temp
wget ftp://artfiles.org/squid-cache.org/pub/archive/3.1/squid-3.1.19.tar.gz
tar zxvf squid-3.1.19.tar.gz
cd squid-3.1.19/

Now compile squid with –enable-ssl option

### END OF SQUID SAMPLE CONFIGURATION ###
### IT WAS MADE ROUGHLY ###

Now Generate SSL certificate which SQUID will present to the end client. For test purposes in a test environment, you can create a self-signed

certificate using OpenSSL by using the following:

cd /etc/squid3

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout squid.pem -out squid.pem

It will ask few simple questions like country code, use PK if you are in Pakistan, and some other questions, just answer and proceed further

#####

Create cache folder and assign necnessary permissions.

mkdir /cache-1
chown proxy:proxy /cache-1

Now initialize CACHE folders by SQUID

squid -z

Now start SQUID in no daemon mode to verify you dont have any errors in the config file.

squid -d1N

↓

↓

To redirect TRANSPARENTLY  port 80 and 443 to local proxy.

change the eth0 to match your local LAN interface.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp –dport 80 -j DNAT –to-destination 10.0.0.1:8080
 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp –dport 443 -j DNAT –to-destination 10.0.0.1:8081

To check SQUID port

netstat -nap | grep 8080

netstat -nap | grep 8081

PPPoE Dialer via DOS Batch File

Changelog:

8th Oct , 2013 9:30pm : Entry added  to create network profile folder if not already there (usually on fresh win7)
9th Oct , 2013 01:45pm : Entry added  to create new phonbook profile, it will not overwrite or delete previous one 🙂

♥

Following is a simple and quickest method to create pppoe dialer using MSDOS batch file made for Windows 7, which create a new rasphone profile for PPPoE Dialer. Usually this sort of work is done using VB , or VB/VC# .NET with Dotras type programming languages which does the job nicely with lots of options and fancy look menus etc, but due to my limited knowledge towards programming, I decided to go with my traditional CLI method. I created this batch program in a very short time without much googling.

↓

Phonebook Location to store profiles (new and old)

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\

This is just an example, you can modify at as per your requirements , The issue i faced while adding multiple lines was white space at the end, and if there are additional white spaces in the file , rasphone will not detect the new entry. therefore I later used algorithm to remove white spaces.

Any suggestion to improve the method will be highly appreciable . . . Please psot your comment if this batch file is working ok for you . . .

Let’s Start.

Create a new batch file like

notepad c:\dialer.bat

Paste following data and save.

Now execute it from c:\dialer.bat & then restart your computer. If you dont want to restart the newly created connection will not show in network connections, You have to press F5 in the network connections to display the newly created profile. After restart it will appear auto in network and sharing center.

↓

After successful lab testing, its time to make it a distributable package. To convert it in executable package, you download BATCH to EXE converter.

http://www.f2ko.de/downloads/Bat_To_Exe_Converter.zip

extract and run Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe

Fill up the required info as shown in teh images below and click on compile.
