In mikrotik equipment, is there graphical and console programming (commands) or only graphical programming?
MikroTik devices offer both interfaces for configuration and management: a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI).
WinBox
It is the graphical user interface (GUI) provided by MikroTik that allows you to configure the device using a visual interface. WinBox allows you to perform almost all the configurations that are possible on the device, from basic network configurations to more advanced firewall, VPN, and other configurations.
It is an application that runs on Windows, but can also be used on other operating systems through emulation or compatibility solutions.
RouterOS CLI
The RouterOS command line interface (CLI) is very powerful and allows users to perform all available configurations on the device using text commands. It can be accessed via SSH, telnet, or even directly from the console if you have physical access to the device.
The CLI is highly appreciated by advanced users and system administrators who prefer scripts or commands for faster or automated management.
Both interfaces, the graphical one (WinBox) and the console one (RouterOS CLI), are complementary and can be used according to personal preferences or specific requirements of the task to be performed. This allows considerable flexibility in how MikroTik devices can be configured and managed.

I am graphing one of my clients but when he turns off his modem and turns it on again, the graph is lost and there is no history of anything left. How do I ensure that the graph history is not lost?
The ideal is to use SNMP monitoring software like Dude itself (MikroTik).
There are many other similar tools such as Zabbix, Nagios, Paesler PRTG, Pandora FMS.
The Dude and Zabbix are a very good option.
