Health over SNMP
CPU load, memory, disk, temperature and uptime, read off the router itself rather than guessed from a ping.
MikroTik router monitoring
Watched where they are billed
A monitoring tool can tell you a router is down. It cannot tell you which subscribers were on it, what they pay or when their access expires, because it has never seen a billing record. Centipid polls the same routers over SNMP and holds both halves, so the outage arrives beside the accounts it cut off and the minutes can go back onto them.
What it reads, and what it sends
Every managed MikroTik answers the same four questions, whether you have three routers or three hundred.
Offline and online alerts
An email, SMS or WhatsApp the moment a router stops answering, and a second one when it comes back.
Uptime over time
Availability per router across thirty days, which is how a site that keeps failing stops being a feeling.
Downtime credited back
The lost minutes added to the expiry of the subscribers that router was carrying, once it recovers.
From the poll to the payback
One signal runs the whole way. Nobody retypes the outage into a second system at either end of it.
- 01
Poll
Each managed router is asked over SNMP for its state, its load and the sessions it is carrying.
- 02
Alert
The moment one stops answering, the people you nominated get an email, an SMS or a WhatsApp message.
- 03
Dispatch
The alert names the router and the site, so the technician is sent to a cabinet rather than to a street.
- 04
Recover
A second message says it is back, and how long it was gone.
- 05
Credit
Those minutes can be added to the expiry of every subscriber behind that router.
Why it belongs in the billing system
A network monitoring server watches routers well. It cannot do the part that happens after one comes back.
It knows who was on it
A router is not a dot on a map here. It is the accounts authenticating through it, with their packages, prices and expiry dates.
It repays the outage
Downtime goes back onto those accounts as time, before a single customer opens a ticket to ask for it.
It is nothing to run
No monitoring server to build, patch or back up, and no second login for whoever is on call at 03:00.
What watching them costs
Monitoring is part of the platform, not a module. The fee is charged on subscribers and hotspot revenue, so the routers themselves are never metered.
Routers
Unlimited
On every plan, however many MikroTiks your network runs.
Hotspot
3%
Of the hotspot revenue collected in a month.
PPPoE
$0.25
Per subscriber active that month, after fourteen days free.

Common questions
Yes. Each managed router is polled over SNMP for CPU load, memory, disk, temperature and uptime, alongside an ICMP reachability check and the live sessions it is carrying.
By email, SMS or WhatsApp, the moment it stops answering, and again when it comes back. Alerts go to the addresses and numbers you nominate, or to every admin when you leave the list empty.
No. Monitoring runs in the same hosted platform that bills your subscribers, so there is nothing to install, patch or back up, and nowhere else for the on-call person to log in.
As many as your network runs. Every plan includes unlimited MikroTik routers, because the fee is charged on subscribers and hotspot revenue rather than on hardware.
Yes. Once the router recovers, the time it was offline can be credited to the expiry of every subscriber it was carrying, instead of adjusting accounts one at a time.
3% of hotspot revenue or $0.25 per active PPPoE subscriber each month, after fourteen days free with no card required. Monitoring and alerts are included in that.
Know before they call. Free for fourteen days.
Connect your MikroTik routers and the next outage reaches your team, and your subscribers' expiry dates, on its own.
