## Overview ## Overview
Plugin for device name discovery via the Mikrotik dhcp-server leases The plugin uses the MikroTik API to discover devices by retrieving DHCP lease information.
### Prerequisites
- API must be enabled in `API > Interfaces` on your MikroTik router.
- A user must be created in `System > Users` on your MikroTik router. Read-only permissions are recommended for security.
### Usage ### Usage
- Check the Settings page for details. It is recommended to use this plugin in scheduled mode for continuous device discovery and monitoring.
In the Settings section of NetAlertX, provide the following parameters:
- **MTSCAN_MT_HOST**: IP address of the MikroTik router (default: `192.168.88.1`).
- **MTSCAN_MT_PORT**: Port for the MikroTik API (default: `8728`).
- **MTSCAN_MT_USER**: Username for the MikroTik router.
- **MTSCAN_MT_PASS**: Password for the MikroTik router.
### Device name resolution order
To assign a meaningful device name, the plugin resolves it in the following order:
- **Comment**: The `comment` field in the MikroTik router's DHCP lease configuration. This is useful for naming static leases of known devies.
- **Hostname**: The hostname provided by the device during DHCP negotiation.
- **"(unknown)"**: as the fallback name, allowing other plugins to resolve the device name later.
