Question

Computer networks

Actually, the question is in the title :)
I want to know how much traffic has passed through the interface for some time. Found only the counter which increases from the moment of the beginning.

Answer 1

You can run a script in the scheduler that will reset counters every 5 minutes:
/system scheduler
add interval=5m name=resetcounters on-event="/interface ethernet reset-counters 1" policy=\
write start-time=startup
# 1 - number interface
you will need to download and install netflow analyzer ( For example )
You need to enable traffic flow on Mikrotik:
/ip traffic-flow set enabled=yes
specify analyzer address
/ip traffic-flow target add address=192.168.1.78:9996 version =9

This scheme worked for me
