# MikroTik Monitoring with Container feature
# MikroTik Monitoring with Grafana Dashboard
Aiming to have a beautiful Grafana Dashboard to monitor a MikroTik device?\
You are in the right place!

Monitoring MikroTik using 3 Containers (SNMP Exporter + Prometheus + Grafana).\
[MikroTik Container](https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Container) is available in RouterOS from v7.\

We can monitor MikroTik using 3 Containers (SNMP Exporter + Prometheus + Grafana).\
[SNMP Exporter](https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/snmp-exporter), [Prometheus](https://hub.docker.com/r/prom/prometheus) and [Grafana](https://hub.docker.com/r/grafana/grafana) are a well known stack of tools that enable to monitor any type of device with appropriate configurations.\
In this scenario the metrics are retrieved in real time with SNMP, Prometheus act as timeseries database with query and Grafana had that sweet dashboards.\

## 1. MikroTik activate Container feature
First of all we have to activate the *Container* package on MikroTik, to default it is disabled.\
To check if it is also activated in WinBox, open *New Terminal* and run:
`system/device-mode/pr`\
After the mode (e.g. `mode: enterprise`) should be compare the string `container: yes`\
If you have already activated it, go next to the step 2.\
