- Interrogation and logging of performance and status information
The book starts with the basics of scripting and progresses through an extensive range of topics allowing you to build, run and debug scripts on our MikroTik device. We'll explore questions such as:
What is scripting, and how can it help me?
- How do I create and run scripts on a MikroTik device?
- What script creation workflow should I use?
- What commands and syntax should I use to create scripts?
- How can I debug my scripts?
As you explore each topic, you'll create a series of scripts that increase in sophistication to reflect your growing scripting knowledge on your learning journey. All scripts shown in this book are available for download from GitHub. You'll be able to download a copy of each script and run it for yourself to see first-hand how it works.
Each of the scripts you'll create is a software program written using the MikroTik scripting language. Although this book isn't intended to teach you how to become a software developer, it covers some of the basic concepts you'll need if you're not familiar with developing code.
Who is this book for?
This book is for anyone who wishes to learn how to create scripts for the MikroTik platform, including:
Network engineers who are familiar with deploying MikroTik hardware and wish to create their own custom features for their network environment.
Network and software engineers who are involved with network automation and would like to automate tasks in their MikroTik environment.
