Can you see the consumption level of the devices connected to a MikroTik router?

Yes, you can see the consumption level of the devices connected to a MikroTik router. MikroTik RouterOS offers several tools and functionalities to monitor network traffic and usage, including viewing the bandwidth consumption of connected devices.

Some of the ways you can do this include:

Graphical User Interface (WinBox or WebFig)

MikroTik provides a rich graphical interface, like WinBox or WebFig, where you can view real-time statistics of network interfaces. These statistics show inbound and outbound traffic, allowing you to identify how much bandwidth each connected device is consuming through their IP addresses.

Torch

This is a tool within RouterOS that allows administrators to view device traffic in real time. You can access Torch through WinBox or the terminal. Torch shows you traffic flows by IP address, port, protocol, and more, allowing you to identify the bandwidth consumption of specific devices.

Tool Traffic Monitor

This tool can be configured to monitor traffic from one or more interfaces and perform various actions based on the traffic passing through them. It can be useful to get an overview of bandwidth usage over time.

Simple Queues

Although their primary purpose is to manage and limit bandwidth, simple queues can also be used to monitor the bandwidth consumption of specific devices. By configuring a queue for a device (or group of devices), you can view its bandwidth consumption in real time and over time.

graphs

RouterOS can generate graphs of various network parameters, including inbound and outbound traffic per interface. These graphs can be configured for specific devices, offering a historical visualization of bandwidth usage.

To use these tools and view the bandwidth consumption of connected devices, you will need to have basic knowledge of the configuration and operation of RouterOS, as well as administrative access to the MikroTik router.

These tools are very useful for network administrators who need to monitor network performance, identify devices that consume too much bandwidth, or simply to keep track of network traffic.
