Dude inLinux?
Is it possible to run Dude in linux (with WINE) as we do with Winbox
Dude + Linux
Hi all
I Just use Linux in my Servers and Desktops. So I'd like to know if are there any project to run Dude with Linux OS ? Without Wine or any emulator? Or... An Idea could be run Dude as an Operation System Like Mikrotik, Why not? For me And I think for lot's of administrators It would be so much better.
Thank You So much....
Best reguards for all you

first because it's not a real linux aplication, second with wine I cold not connect to local just remote, and when i tried to see the network map It was black and ugly. and the web server does not work. I'd like to use it to monitor all my network. Why not run it effectively in Linux OS?

The perfect Dude:
First: The dude is an amazing piece of software - someone should give U guyz a prize for that tool!
Next - (more wants more) - the Dude could be even more perfect:
1. Dude "server" (agent or whatever) running on MikroTik OS as a package. Due to limited ressources a requirement of remote storage is OK
2. Dude "server" (agent or whatever) running on Linux native. Just like above it should be a service that requires a client to be configured and monitored.
3. Dude integration with Nagios or even better: SMS gateway integrated in Dude.
This could make me throw out my Nagios server...

Normis: Great to hear that it may be possible (some time) to use Dude on MT as package.
The problem (at least in my case) is that we only have a few public IP adresses in the net and externally hosted servers (to save bandwidth). SNMP'ing into a NAT'ed net isn't comfortable, thus the request to have a "Nagios - like" agent running on the NAT gateway and reporting any and all activities on the local network.
Etocalini:
I have "solved" your request (while the super-coders @ microtik work on making all our weird requests feasible) - with a simple "workaround" to publish our net status:
1. Make Dude generate .PNG files for the nets you wish to publish status for. Set this to be done sequentially (I do it every 5 minutes).
2. Install OpenSSH (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/) for windows (or the entire CygWin package) - to get ssh access to the Windows-box running Dude (and sshd with one of these packages).
3. On the web-server, create a cron-job to obtain the files using scp to the website (I do this every 5 minutes).
Alternatively:
1 (as above)
2. Install Apache on the Win-box running Dude
3. Use the generated files to publish images of net-status. Maybe even generatin an image every minute in this case since there is no net activity unless users request the websites from the Dude-box.
I am considering to switch to this second approach soon but for now the first approach works like a dream for me - look at: http://www.ranumnet.dk/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph ... lineStatus for a sample of this (In Danish only - sorry - but I think You will get the picture if you click on it

More Wine DUDE?
I've got Dude running fine in Wine on Debian Etch. I'm sure there should be little hassle on most Wine Systems. Problems though...
1. The network map I use (PNG of my town) displays fine, but redraw is slow.
2. Dynamic items in Network map (such as load, Disk, Traffic) doesn't display, perhaps a redraw issue on my side (not sure of correct term). When hovering the status popup does display.
3. Unable to have multiple window panes open for graphs and map or outages at same time.
4. Sometimes needs a boot as screen doesn't refresh.
But otherwise, quite useable. In fact, I had so much trouble on my Windoze XP box with running dude remote that I only use it in linux now.
Love to see a linux Dude server, I was an avid fan of Nagios for a long time, but it just needed so much configuration! Native Dude remote would be great too. Just about to plan my notifications and reporting using dude, so browsing for SMS possibilities.
Keep up the good work guys!!
