Add Mikrotik router synthesis definition

[naxhh]

👋 the answer will be two indeed. We try to group concepts regardless of origin.

You can check an example on EXT-SERVICE

The TL;DR is to add a new rule in the definition that identifies data from mikrotik.

About dashboards you will need to provide one dashboard for mikrotik and one for kentik (the existing one)
See some docs here

And the same for summary and golden metrics.

Here is an example i have not thought a lot about but for reference

synthesis:
  rules:
   # Kentik source
    - name: device_name
    identifier: device_name
    encodeIdentifierInGUID: true
    conditions:
    - attribute: provider
      value: kentik-router
      tags:
        provider:
          entityTagName: instrumentation.provider

   # Mikrotik
    - name: "?" # i dont see a good name attribute. is serialnumber good enough? model?
    identifier: mikrotik.serialnumber
    encodeIdentifierInGUID: true
    conditions:
    - attribute: mikrotik.model
      tags:
        ?: # do we have an attribute value that would be unique for mikrotik? let's assume the value is mikrotik for the examples
          entityTagName: instrumentation.provider

dashboardTemplates:
  kentik-router:
    template: dashboard.json
  mikrotik:
    template: dashboard_mikrotik.json

An example of Summary metric, will be similar for GM:

cpuUtilization:
  title: CPU Utilization (%)
  unit: PERCENTAGE
  queries:
      kentik-router
        select: average(kentik.snmp.CPU)
        from: Metric
        where: "provider = 'kentik-router'"
        eventId: entity.guid
    mikrotik:
      select: average(mikrotik.system.cpu.load)
      from: Metric
      eventId: entity.guid
