MikroTik Scripts: Device overheating notification

Notification when the device temperature rises above the threshold. Sends notification to email or Telegram message.

The script sends the temperature of the MikroTik device and the CPU load. If the temperature of the device has exceeded the threshold value, and the processor load of the device is minimal, there may be a problem in the external environment (for example, the failure of an air conditioner in a server room).

Functions used:

• Function call – send e-mail;
• Function call – send a Telegram message.

MikroTik script is suitable for devices equipped with a temperature sensor. Tested on Mikrotik RB3011UiAS-RM, RouterOS 6.46.4 (stable).

The safe value of the CPU temperature will be different for each model of MikroTik devices, set the value of the script trigger temperature (MaxCPUTemp) depending on the model of your device (see the specification).

Create script

The MaxCPUTemp parameter is the device temperature threshold after which a notification will be sent.

For the script to work, checking the device temperature requires permissions: read, write, test, policy.

[System] -> [Scripts] -> [+] -> [Name: DeviceOverheatingScript] -> [Policy: read, write, test, policy]

Script code:

# Name: DeviceOverheatingNotification v1
# Description: Notification when the device temperature rises above the threshold. Sends notification to email or Telegram message.

:local MaxCPUTemp 65;
:local CurrentTemp [/system health get temperature];
:local CurrentCPULoad [/system resource get cpu-load];
:local DeviceName [/system identity get name ];
:local Time [/system clock get time];
:local Date [/system clock get date];

#:log info "Script DeviceOverheatingNotification - start.";

:if ($CurrentTemp > $MaxCPUTemp) do={

    #:log info "Script DeviceOverheatingNotification - Temperature threshold exceeded! Send Telegram message.";

    # START Send Telegram Message
    :local MessageText "\F0\9F\94\B4 <b>CRITICAL: $DeviceName Device Overheating!</b> %0D%0A Device Temperature: $CurrentTemp %C2%B0 C  %0D%0A CPU Load: $CurrentCPULoad %";
    :local SendTelegramMessage [:parse [/system script  get MyTGBotSendMessage source]];
    $SendTelegramMessage MessageText=$MessageText;
    # END Send Telegram Message

    #:log info "Script DeviceOverheatingNotification - Temperature threshold exceeded! Send Email.";

    # START Send Email
    :local SendTo "notify@mhelp.pro";
    :local Subject "\F0\9F\94\B4 CRITICAL: $DeviceName [$Date $Time]";
    :local MessageText "Device Temperature: $CurrentTemp °C, CPU Load: $CurrentCPULoad %";
    :local FileName "";
    :local SendEmail [:parse [/system script get SendEmailFunction source]];
    $SendEmail SendTo=$SendTo TextMail=$MessageText Subject=$Subject FileName=$FileName;
    # END Send Email
}

#:log info "Script DeviceOverheatingNotification - end.";

Add script to Scheduler

To run the script to check the temperature of the MikroTik device, permissions are required: read, write, test, policy.

[System] -> [Schedule] -> [+] -> [Name:CheckDeviceOverheating] —>  [Interval: 00:01:00] -> [Policy: read, write, policy, test]

Or enter in a terminal:

/system scheduler add name=CheckDeviceOverheating policy=read,write,policy,test on-event="/system script run DeviceOverheatingScript" interval=1m comment="Checking device overheating"

Now you can increase control over your device by monitoring an important parameter – device temperature!

? How to create a script to check the overheating of a MikroTik device and send a notification to an email or Telegram message has been discussed in this article. I hope now you can get notification about MikroTik device overheating and CPU load on time. However, if you run into any problems while configuring the script, feel free to write in the comments. I will try to help.
