[Feature] New sensor that counts devices per interface

[gelokatil]

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently there is a sensor that indicates the clients connected to all the Wireless SSIDs that the device has.

Is it possible that there is another sensor that can count the number of clients connected to a given SSID/interface? As many sensors as the SSID the device has configured.

Thank you very much

Describe alternatives you've considered

In the Registration section within the Wireless section you can see the list of devices and the interface to which they belong.

What would be a purpouse for such sensor?

[gelokatil]

The purpose of the sensor would be for statistical and monitoring purposes.

In the same way that we can now know the number of clients that we have connected to our Mikrotik device by LAN and by Wifi, I find it useful to be able to break down the information with more granularity.

[tomaae]

ok, but on that screenshot, there is no radio name, just physical interface. can you provide print terse?

[gelokatil]

The specific SSID associated with the physical interface does not appear in the Registration section.

To obtain this value, you must go to the Wifi Interfaces section, which appears there in the SSID column.

[tomaae]

I see, so mikrotik creates additional virtual interface for multiple SSID. thats doable then. Can you give me print terse from wireless interfaces?

[gelokatil]

Exactly, by default you only have the physical interfaces wlan1 and wlan2 for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless networks, as you can see, you can create additional virtual SSIDs linked to the physical interfaces you have, being able to have more than 2 simultaneous SSIDs

Here is the output of the command.

thanks, I think thats all I will need

[gelokatil]

Perfect, let me know if you need anything else. Thank you very much.

I think this has stopped in time, but I'd like to add a request. When we don't use native mikrotik wifi radios but use other common routers as access points, they are usually configured in a bridge, so this same information of how many and which clients are on each interface is displayed in the hosts tab of the bridge. It would be relevant to have it this way too. After all, it's more common to have access points from other manufacturers.
