Use Pushover Notifications on MikroTik

Pushover

Testing can be done from main page to confirm Notifications sent to device

New accounts are allowed 30 days free trial, after that a license is required per end-user device

User Key/Token

On the main page you will see the User Token/Key. Copy this and keep handy

USER TOKEN: u3cdzz34kwefi91wnxcrpcch19xi8v

Application Key/Token

Scroll down to the bottom of the main page and select Create an Application/API Token

Fill out details as required and optional feature to upload an image to display on notification (72×72 pixel)

Once created copy the API Token

APP TOKEN: as4xmqvz44t75rjr6yb3cg6e984ag9

Testing API

Now with the API Tokens set up and copied, use the following command on the MikroTik to test:

/tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" http-method=post http-data="token=<APP TOKEN>&user=<USER TOKEN>&message=<MESSAGE>&title=<TITLE>&priority=1"

/tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" http-method=post http-data="token=as4xmqvz44t75rjr6yb3cg6e984ag9&user=u3cdzz34kwefi91wnxcrpcch19xi8v&message=Test Message&title=AWS CHR AU&priority=1"

Scripts

Basic Pushover Script

The below script is a simple example of how to send a notification using the fetch tool command and setting all the required details in variables.

#Define the Variables
:local appToken "";
:local userToken "";
:local message "";
:local title "";

/tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" http-method=post http-data="token=$appToken&user=$userToken&message=$message&title=$title&priority=1"

Populated example:

#Define the Variables
:local appToken "as4xmqvz44t75rjr6yb3cg6e984ag9";
:local userToken "u3cdzz34kwefi91wnxcrpcch19xi8v";
:local message "Test Message";
:local title "CHR AU";

/tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" http-method=post http-data="token=$appToken&user=$userToken&message=$message&title=$title&priority=1"

Using Script from another Script

This example uses Global Variables to be able to pass the info that might be different per application, e.g. the message and title.

#Define Global Variables
:global pushoverMessage;
:global pushoverTitle;

#Define the Variables
:local appToken "as4xmqvz44t75rjr6yb3cg6e984ag9";
:local userToken "u3cdzz34kwefi91wnxcrpcch19xi8v";
:local message "$pushoverMessage";
:local title "$pushoverTitle";

/tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json" http-method=post http-data="token=$appToken&user=$userToken&message=$message&title=$title&priority=1"

The script can then be ran

:global pushoverMessage "Test - New"; :global pushoverTitle "CHR AU"; sys script run pushover

Netwatch Example

/tool netwatch
add disabled=no down-script=":global pushoverMessage \"IPSec Tunnel to CHR UK DOWN\
    \"; :global pushoverTitle \"CHR AU::IPSEC MONITOR\"; sys script run pushover" \
    host=10.1.1.2 http-codes="" name=ipsec-check test-script="" type=simple \
    up-script=":global pushoverMessage \"IPSec Tunnel to CHR UK UP\"; :global push\
    overTitle \"CHR AU::IPSEC MONITOR\"; sys script run pushover"
