In today’s modern networks, visibility and automation are key. For enterprises, ISPs, and IT teams, monitoring and managing MikroTik routers efficiently is essential to ensure performance, security, and business continuity.
That’s where the integration between Zabbix, MikroTik, and the MikroTik SD-WAN platform comes in — creating a powerful ecosystem for centralized management and advanced monitoring.
What is Zabbix?
Zabbix is one of the world’s most widely used infrastructure monitoring tools. Free and highly scalable, it enables the monitoring of network devices, servers, applications, and more.
Key features include:
Data collection via SNMP, API, and agents
Ready-to-use templates for MikroTik, making setup easier
Triggers and automated alerts, sending real-time notifications
Customizable dashboards, with detailed graphs and reports
With Zabbix, network administrators can identify failures quickly and anticipate performance issues before they impact users or customers.
Why MikroTik?
MikroTik is a global leader in affordable and robust networking solutions, used by ISPs, businesses, and public institutions worldwide.
With its RouterOS operating system, MikroTik devices deliver:
Advanced routing (BGP, OSPF, MPLS)
High-performance firewall
Load balancing and QoS
Integration with monitoring systems via SNMP
Reliable and affordable hardware
In practice, MikroTik is the backbone of many networks, and ensuring its performance is crucial.
What is MikroTik SD-WAN?
MikroTik SD-WAN is a cloud platform that extends the functionality of MikroTik routers, bringing centralization, security, and automation to network management.
Key features include:
Unified management of multiple routers in a single dashboard
Automatic WAN failover, ensuring business continuity
Simplified site-to-site VPN, without complex configurations
Automated backups of router configurations
Real-time monitoring of links, interfaces, and availability
SLA reports and instant notifications

Zabbix + MikroTik + SD-WAN: Unlimited Monitoring and Management
When combining these three technologies, you get a powerful solution:
Zabbix collects detailed metrics from MikroTik routers (CPU, memory, traffic, latency, availability).
Visual dashboards and reports provide real-time network health insights.
MikroTik SD-WAN centralizes management, applying policies for failover, QoS, security, and automation.
The result is smart monitoring combined with centralized management, ensuring high availability and top performance in any network environment.
What’s Next 🚀
Soon, the MikroTik SD-WAN Cloud will feature an even simpler integration model, allowing users to easily connect their network to applications such as:
Zabbix → advanced monitoring
Grafana → visual and intuitive dashboards
Graylog & Wazuh → logging and security
N8N → workflow automation
Unifi Controller → Wi-Fi network management
All ready to use — with no need for complex manual configurations.
Conclusion
If you want to monitor your MikroTik routers more effectively, gain full visibility into your network, and automate management, the combination of Zabbix + MikroTik + SD-WAN is the perfect solution.
With this stack, your IT team will benefit from control, security, and automation, reducing failures and boosting productivity.
