*) some minor fixes

http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php

Sandor1k · Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:56 pm

Good day! Still not updated charts through a Web page in one session!

tudorik · Tue Mar 08, 2011 4:41 pm

Any chance to be able to specify a different RouterOS port for monitoring Mikrotik devices?

Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:20 pm

4b3 observations - Backup your dude folder before upgrading. Upgrade was smooth as usual.

As noted FIXED - If you click "add static" the dude no longer crashes.
Not Fixed - The remove resolved button on the outages tab of services doesn't remove resolved outages.

Other Features
1) Exporting a backup stops the polling process, any probes that time out while the export is being done will appear down soon after the export has finished.
2)Select a device then click the copy button all the history will be erased and graphs will be gone.
3)On the probe panel select a probe then click the copy button, the probe XML will include all the devices it is installed on.
NOTE: Care should be taken to remove the unneeded XML when copying and pasting or sharing probes through XML.

Still nothing to worry about KEEP up the great work!

MICPROF · Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:40 pm

any update about monitor network , and show usage graph for mikrotik ...

eivind · Wed Mar 09, 2011 7:22 pm

Some probes shown as "not available" in device services. New Function probe has a default text Available=1, Value=2+2.
If I delete the old probe and makes a new similar one it will work, but it gives me a lot to do... Fix in a hurry??

EMOziko · Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:33 am

Waiting for next release! thanks!

Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:35 am

@eivind Don't delete the old probe. Wait at least 6 minutes to see if the old probe starts working.

"not available" can mean that the previous SNMP read did not work that would cause a "false positive". If the previous read did not work then the probe will not work for 5 minutes or more specifically the amount of time that is set in Negative Cache time of the function that grabs the OID. The default of which is 300 seconds.

You can modify the Negative Cache time but it takes a bit of work by modifying every function. If you do make it lower your false positives will not be 5 minutes long.

I hope that makes sense,
Lebowski

eivind · Thu Mar 10, 2011 11:51 am

Thanks Lebowski, I know. Some faulty probes did come up after five minutes. I did a test by making one new identical probe with a different name. It did work, but the old ones who has been OK since beta 2 arrived still don't work after 24 hurs. I'm testing if it is available with "function() >0" and have other probes who is working fine with exactly the same test on a close to identical function. I tried to set "" in the test but it still did'nt work. There might be a communication problem between functions and probes. As one said in this forum; It's a dangerous life to always use latest version, but since the Dude is free of charge I'm not complaining, just telling

Thu Mar 10, 2011 4:50 pm

"function() >=0" In version 4b3 the "Available" line is less forgiving.

If you take the probe that doesn't work and add one to the value that is being read the probe comes up but it will never appear down. I have solved this for my self by following gsandul's example of a function that returns "False" or a value and a probe with two if statements.

Function: if(array_size(oid_column("1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57", 10 ,29)), oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0", 10, 29)+1 ,"False")
If the oid is available read the value and add one to it otherwise return false.

Probe: if(Cisco_CPU_a()<>"False",if(Cisco_CPU_a() -1< 70, "", concatenate("Warning: high CPU = ", Cisco_CPU_a(), "%")), "Cisco Device down")
If the value is not "False" subtract 1 from it make sure the value is less than 70 or complain about high CPU, If the value is False return "Cisco Device Down".

stmx38 · Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:08 pm

not fixed bugs:
New Network map only says 'loading'
Bug - logs reseted to default after Windows reboot

eivind · Sat Mar 12, 2011 3:24 pm

Solved it the easiest way! Migrating this formula into gsandul's solution would give me a real challenge:
Uncorrectables x 100 / (Unerroreds + Correcteds + Uncorrectables)
(oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.10.127.1.1.4.1.4.3")*100)/
(oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.10.127.1.1.4.1.2.3")+(oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.10.127.1.1.4.1.3.3"))+(oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.10.127.1.1.4.1.4.3")))+0.001
Maybe not the smartest way of doing it, but it does the job.
Because Dude don't graph under errors I have chosen to make a separate probe for "Data Correction Too High" , and using another single oid probe for down statement for the devices.
I'm trying as hard as I can to keep my networking knowledge at a minimum, and give myself more time to run my business.
Thank You for Your inputs

mdaitc · Sat Mar 12, 2011 11:00 pm

is it released for PPC (RB1100)? - seems like only beta1 files are posted on the site.

If not, then is there an ETA (can you let us know what the issue is?)

thanks,

caterpillar · Wed Mar 16, 2011 9:41 am

Hi! I have some backup problems, after updating my dude from v3.6 to 4beta, 4beta2 and 4beta3. when i do backup (using dude client) dude server terminate my connection, and all connections from other users. Dude client runs on windows vista and windows xp...

Wed Mar 16, 2011 3:25 pm

@caterpillar, The backup is taking too long to export, lower your raw keep time to make sure dude.db doesn't get bigger than 2GB. Use copy to make a backup of your dude folder for now. Hopefully they fix both the 2GB limit and the issue with IO affecting polling soon.

miahac · Mon Mar 28, 2011 3:05 am

Still no elbows in links?

blackpaw · Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:03 pm

Still no elbows in links?

I use the "network" element without any data (creates a small yellow cloud that you can use as "elbow" (if you mean this...)
I am also having the "Not Available" services sometimes now... wonder what got changed, there...

Lebowski, I would like to discuss using (partial) snmpwalks in functions.. as I am having severe CPU issues here.

Can we fork a new thread to discuss this, please?

My approach for a sanity-check in a function is:

never mind that, it doesn not work

mramos · Sun Apr 03, 2011 4:21 pm

Hi ...

I went from 4b2 to 4b3 some days ago, no issues to upgrade.

Spent some weeks playing with ROS 5RC11, 5RC12 and now settle on 5.0.

My system is small, e.g. a 433UAH, a pair of 411ARs, 3 old WRAP X86, all loaded with ROS5.0 now. Around 70 CPEs (NS2 Loco & Bullet 2). There is 3 XR9 for NLOS path.

* Any card that run as client-bridge (R52Hn, XR9, R52n), after this double upgrade to 4B3 x ROS 5.0 missed the speed/signals levels at the labels. On the other side, if I create a link between any UBNT client and AP still showing signals levels (tx/rx), connection speed & etc. At the MT devices, does not matter if mastering is snmp or routeros. Just data speed shows up.

* Torch avialable at mouse over link lables + right click does not run.

* I'm using Dude to collect & graph some data volume info, as measured by "bytes" field on queue tree. Those queues are common low priority (priority=8) channels I set to those traffic which customers does not realize about, like Windows Update, several anti-virus update, adobe update, etc ... and Youtube/4shared. Each uses pcq and a max limit so customers share those channels. I expected a monthly basis graph, reseting all counters after 30 days by myself - but - most are reseting when the volume reaches 4.1 ... 4.3 GBytes. I guess this is not Dude related but ROS. Anyway.

PS: not Dude but 5.0 winbox ... torch on simple queues (mouse over a simple queue line) is not running too, the source address filter field on torch is not being filled with simple queue target address, as used to be on ros 4.17.

Regards

Hopefully they fix both the 2GB limit and the issue with IO affecting polling soon.

So the 2GB DB size limit hasn't been fixed in this release? Has anyone confirmed this and have Mikrotik acknowledged this bug? This is the only thing preventing us upgrading from 3.6.

ARTUR · Sat Apr 09, 2011 6:41 pm

Lebowski, Thanks a lot for the software. I have used the software for 3 years and i like it.
I just upgrade to release 4, and
I have had some problems with the Outage Report, because doesn´t appear in the web page and in the left hand tree.
Perhaps because it is beta version but there are things missing like the snmpwalk to print or export to a file.

Best Regards

I didn't write it

mikrotik did.

craigmyster · Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:37 am

I run dude on routeros. My backups are not working as of Version 4.0. Is there a work around to get the backup to work? I don't want to risk loosing all the data.

Xymelin · Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:42 pm

I run dude on routeros. My backups are not working as of Version 4.0. Is there a work around to get the backup to work? I don't want to risk loosing all the data.

I also use dude on RouterOS to monitor my network with ~ 3000 devices and I can't perform an export

Maybe Mikrotik support can give some piece of advice how to export Dude.

mpaluck · Tue Apr 19, 2011 1:18 am

My functions don't seem to be working on 4.3 any thoughts?

maxrate · Thu Apr 28, 2011 10:38 pm

Could v4beta4 have support for the RB1000/RB1100 + Authenticated Email Support please? This is very important to us

what do you mean by RB1000/RB1100 support?

mdaitc · Fri Apr 29, 2011 2:36 pm

i'd imagine so that the PPC version of The Dude will run on the RB1100

Fri Apr 29, 2011 2:38 pm

I see, you meant the RouterOS npk package. Yes, currently there is a problem with it.

iam8up · Mon May 16, 2011 8:38 pm

Still nothing to worry about KEEP up the great work!

Not being able to back up is VERY MUCH something to worry about.

I run dude on routeros. My backups are not working as of Version 4.0. Is there a work around to get the backup to work? I don't want to risk loosing all the data.

Is there any way to backup my graphs. I have many years worth of data in trouble now if something happens.

troy · Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:03 pm

When upgrading from b2 to b3, the server side went pretty well, though the service was not restarted when the installation was complete, but at the same time, "the dude server" wasn't even in the services list. I had to run dude.exe as administrator to get the service running again.

On my workstation, when I ran The Dude again, it asked if I wanted to upgrade, I said yes. It downloaded everything, but then crapped out because it couldn't copy dude.exe.

Why not use a loader similar to Winbox so that the main binary can be upgraded from the server when the server is upgraded?

maxrate · Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:05 pm

I had a smiliar issue and was unable to rectify it unfortunately.

genPSI · Thu Jun 16, 2011 7:38 pm

Please resolve problems with backups

I am so waiting for 4 beta 4 =)

stmx38 · Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:01 am

Note: v4beta3 PPC package is currently not working

Any plan for this ?

ITG · Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:26 pm

not fixed bugs:
New Network map only says 'loading'
Bug - logs reseted to default after Windows reboot

When you get a network map that's "stuck" loading like that, create a second map. If the second map works, delete the first.

ottoshr · Thu Aug 25, 2011 1:44 pm

I see BIG Outage problems:
1)couldn't find remove selected outage button, this means can't delete several outage only all
2)couldn't find add note to outage !!! for later review of current outage
3)after restore several outage is not change state to resolved but service is working - how to remove outage to normal state - resolved ? tried - reboot , delete service and run again , the same problem... see picture - ????!!!!

ottoshr · Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:46 pm

please help nothing changed still got these hanged outages... tried remove all , no response, removel all outage in each device trough decie settings only removes outages for this device, but these hangs are still active. try once more make backup and restore - the same. restarts many time OS and dude server - still the same...
is there possible to correct something directly into database sqlite3 ?

4)also tried delete device with service and as you can see still got - active outage !

ottoshr · Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:20 am

becouse no one is helping in this trouble, i try to d something i can. by the way remove resolved also didn't do anything in my case.
I download several sqlite3 tools and try to delete in table outages rows where status is 1, but this 10 rows that are stuck also can't delete in that way (delete from outages where status=1), several other outages where removed but not these.
after i truncate all table outages, - this process take several hours and after commit table was almost empty.
after copying to dude/data. and start dude 403 with crossed fingers ... and problem was solved, stucked outages doesn't showed again.
in sqlite3 tools see some message that these stucked records is with missing constraint...

Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:49 pm

Good work Ottoshr! I had nothing!

ottoshr · Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:54 am

yes thanx sounds fine ... BUT anyway i had a some problem with database or table ... after restarting dude i see that only few outages are written in table !!!
WHAT should i do ??? i have around 200-300 services configured in dude and since in 4.0 version beta 3 is no XML backup how to move my services configuration to new database (if this is failed) ?
OR maybe someone new how to repair this sqlite3 dude database ? i try scnadisk, defrag and all report no errors or problem.
dude is strting fine, but even after i removed all messages from outages sometimes when i switch to outage it take about 60sek or more to show records...
Please help if someoine got ideas !!!! i don't want to create new services

once again !

Problem is repaeating a got new outage that is pinging, but outage did not change state to resolved !!! how to change this situation!!!

ottoshr · Wed Aug 31, 2011 2:46 pm

Also there is something with memmory usage below 2 images before and after dude server restart, once more after restart server lost some outages records , and memmory usage is minimised.
use server as service. windows 7 on citrix virtualisation.

Wed Aug 31, 2011 2:47 pm

do you use v4b3? how many maps and devices do you have?

ottoshr · Wed Aug 31, 2011 2:50 pm

yes dude 4.0 beta 3
29 maps, aprox 200-300 devices, donn't know how to calculate in dude

Wed Aug 31, 2011 2:51 pm

in that case, that's normal, buy more RAM

ottoshr · Wed Aug 31, 2011 3:22 pm

but why use of memory when started use minimal and start increasing with usage? could you explain how memmory and maps and device count is connected ?

could you please help me with outage problems - that i describe above?

Wed Aug 31, 2011 3:24 pm

all charts and graphs and polling results are stored in the ram, and saved periodically (can configure how often). when you restart the dude, it reads the previous status from the files, and then starts gathering new data, which it stores in RAM until it's time to save it. the more devices you have, the quicker this data grows in RAM.

ottoshr · Wed Aug 31, 2011 5:02 pm

can you help me repair database? or migrate to new one without data gathering but with all devices and settings !?
also data gathered saves only few records - how it is possible ? but for example saves new devices and etc...

Database size issue is something many of us have been waiting for Mikrotik to resolve. For now we have to restrict the usefulness of the Dude when it could have been so much more

Thu Sep 01, 2011 8:49 am

To reduce the db file size you should open the dude.db file with sqlite3 and do "vacuum;" query. Dude server must not be using that dude.db file at that time.

ottoshr · Thu Sep 01, 2011 12:43 pm

i 'm not sure that problem is with database size, in my case it looks like something happen'd wit database itself, maybe problem with storage where it is stored or something like that. But some records ar commited and some are not - in result memory usage is growing and after dude service restart lot of information are missing ! If this was only outages it was not so big problem but yesterday i catch a problem that new device also is missing after restart.
today try to move windows 7 image to local storage to see whats will be next !

Mikrotik or any else DUDE programmers please help us - with what tool i can repair dude sqlite3 database ? or i need repar integrity or compact database ?

ottoshr · Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:13 pm

ok, i try do this but i got error when try launch vacuum.

Normis what tool do you recommend for vacuum sqlite dude database ?

Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:24 pm

sqlite3

ottoshr · Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:56 pm

i run sqlitemon 1.2.2 and got error when try to vacuum, could you please give a name of proper utility ?

Thu Sep 01, 2011 2:03 pm

but try this http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

ottoshr · Thu Sep 01, 2011 6:25 pm

1) I UNDERSTUD PROBLEM it was table chart_values_raw;
2)try to delete content didn't help get error see attachment pic.
3)please explain how to run vacuum into comand line shell ?
4)try backup restore - it helps - table now i can open , but when i copied it to dude directory and run dude it delete all info to default values !!!

what should i do next, - bu the way how tu run vacuum in comand line shell ? i found command to set vacuum auto for all database...

also table error from comand line shell
sqlite> .tables
chart_values_10min chart_values_2hour objs
chart_values_1day chart_values_raw outages
sqlite> delete from outages ;
sqlite> delete from chart_values_raw ;
Error: database disk image is malformed

Fri Sep 02, 2011 12:45 am

The easy to vacuum the database is to put dude.db and sqlite3.exe in the same folder then make a shortcut to sqlite3.exe, edit the properties of the shortcut so that dude.db is on the command line.

"C:\Documents and Settings\person\Desktop\sqlite3.exe" dude.db

Then double click the shortcut, type VACUUM; A journal file will be created while it is vacuuming... I think that is how, it is still running

craigmyster · Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:30 pm

please please please fix backups for dude running on routeros. no backups done for me for months now.....

Tue Sep 06, 2011 4:27 pm

Just fyi, my 1.6GB database took a couple hours to vacuum and is 900MB now but I did have the chart values set fairly high. I didn't start using the vacuumed database since I was just testing.

ottoshr · Tue Sep 06, 2011 4:43 pm

Please help me to export from sqlite3 table objs, where is all dude403 devices and settings, becouse i coldnt repair this database file , after cleening broken table and starting dude it cleans all records to default empty without devicesw and settings !!!

I found a log filling up in the Dude's files. Deleting this enabled me to do a backup. Unfortunately Dude still crashes just a few seconds after the download completes. I just hit alt+S to save it quickly and move it afterward.

Hi I noticed that there has been very little discussion about the PPC version of Dude v4beta3. I have a number of RB1100 deployed and I would like to install v4 on them. I have been waiting for a year to get a PPC version of Dudev4. Can anyone give me an estimate of when this might happen?

Hi all!!! Sorry for my bad english.
Database has more than 2 GB, and apparently this caused a crash Dude.
We rolled back the database and want to do VACUUM. But we had the same problem as ottoshr.
We can not do VACUUM:

sqlite3 /home/user/Work/Dude/dude_15.12.db 
SQLite version 3.7.7.1 2011-06-28 17:39:05
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> VACUUM;
Error: PRIMARY KEY must be unique

Dude does not clear the "Failure". Please tell me how to do VACUUM, if you need it and how to fix a hanging logs "Failure"? Thanks!

sqlite> PRAGMA integrity_check;

Help, I need somebody!

I found are two identical index in the table objs.
Create a new database with empty tables chart_*, and delete duplicate records in objs results in resetting the base when starting Dude.

How can I be? Is it possible records with identical indices located in the objs or another tables?

Mon Dec 19, 2011 4:36 pm

Sorry Sherman, you are probably going to have to do some experimenting and hopefully you get lucky. If you have some old exports maybe you could start from there? I have not heard of anyone recovering from having serious database trouble. Maybe instead of deleting table information just change the duplicate records to be unique?

Bummer

Waiting for next release! thanks!

leofilhopb · Mon Jan 23, 2012 3:49 pm

"the dude" is abandoned?

sparker · Mon Jan 23, 2012 5:57 pm

when is the next release?

soosp · Thu Feb 16, 2012 10:47 am

Hi, Is Dude development stopped? And what about the v4 ppc version? We are still using v3.6 due to the lack os ppc version.

honzam · Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:28 pm

Ciambot · Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:36 pm

I'd like to see it open source!

pospanko · Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:02 pm

MT, when new version will be available? Would there be new version?
Thx

randallr · Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:08 pm

Running 4.0beta3 on ROS 4.17 on x86
57.6GB total HDD
57.4GB Free
2.6ghz AMD dual core, 6-10% cpu

Backup restarts Dude service.

I've seen reference to backup up dude files with file copy. Is this possible from Winbox or otherwise?

Dude is awesome otherwise, and has become key piece of our operation. Just a few things and it's the perfect network monitoring tool..... I understand that it's hard to budget development time for free software. Perhaps time to either have a paid license version or maybe send some t-bone steaks to Normis?

AnRkey · Mon May 07, 2012 3:20 pm

Is The Dude still being actively developed?

benjamimgois · Sat May 19, 2012 4:45 am

I'm also having some problems with backups in 4beta3. I have 1 map with 403 devices, when i make a backup it exports the TGZ file perfectly and give no error messages, but when i try to import the TGZ file it says that the current "user or password" are wrong and do not let me log in, but i'm sure my user and password are correct. So i'm locked outside the program, to recover i have to delete dude.db and import an older backup version. Anyone had something similar ?

joshaven · Thu Sep 13, 2012 3:14 pm

Can you release the Dude as open source so the development can continue. Sadly, we are going to have to move much of our dude usage to Cacti because we cannot get the Dude to be reliable. I have been woken up many times by the dude saying that everything in my network is down. After a reboot of the Dude I get another 250 text messages saying everything is up again. I'd love a stable version and a few improvements.

zizobaddy · Fri Oct 12, 2012 10:03 am

My dude is not working with os6

okoun · Fri Oct 26, 2012 1:17 am

I turned on the dude server on ros 5.21 on the PC over the network does not detect my drive and cpu. what? a problem with snmp? on windows xp it worked

digicomtech · Mon Nov 19, 2012 6:10 pm

Hi all!!! Sorry for my bad english.
Database has more than 2 GB, and apparently this caused a crash Dude.
We rolled back the database and want to do VACUUM. But we had the same problem as ottoshr.
We can not do VACUUM:

sqlite3 /home/user/Work/Dude/dude_15.12.db 
SQLite version 3.7.7.1 2011-06-28 17:39:05
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> VACUUM;
Error: PRIMARY KEY must be unique

Dude does not clear the "Failure". Please tell me how to do VACUUM, if you need it and how to fix a hanging logs "Failure"? Thanks!

sqlite> PRAGMA integrity_check;

Probably you have done copy of device with older version of Dude and some have the same ID. As lebowski suggest change all duplicate key using SQLite and then retry vacuum;

ottoshr · Wed Jan 23, 2013 10:44 am

When will be v4 stable release? when it is possible to remove selected outage from view Outages ? when export and import will work. stable release please !!!

Montana · Wed Feb 13, 2013 2:33 am

Sad to say, but I think the Dude is dead. Hope Im wrong but no one has heard anything about upgrades since 2011.
I have a rb1100x2 I would love to put it on. Oh well I guess it might get Aircontrol .
Sad very sad.

plankanater · Tue Mar 05, 2013 5:58 pm

Yeah I agree and it is a shame. I'm starting to look for a replacement but nothing is as polished as the dude.

ottoshr · Tue Mar 05, 2013 6:09 pm

Please keep inform others about possible replacement !

SamWCL · Thu Mar 14, 2013 12:23 pm

Also waiting!

fermintrv · Tue Apr 02, 2013 12:58 pm

We love Dude!! Waiting for a new versión!!

AnRkey · Mon Apr 22, 2013 1:22 pm

When will there be a new version of The Dude?

benjamimgois · Tue Apr 23, 2013 5:16 pm

I´m sticking to the old 3.6 release. It´s a lot more stable than the last beta release.

AnRkey · Tue Apr 23, 2013 9:37 pm

http://www.netxms.org quite nice

benjamimgois · Fri Apr 26, 2013 4:15 pm

Wow, NetXMS seens like a very big project already. Thanks for sharing

AnRkey · Fri Apr 26, 2013 4:35 pm

My dude server crashed and I opted to rebuild using netxms. I'm quite happy so far as it is quite potent. Also, it has android as well as webserver support.

I love dude, but it's poor support makes it hard to use in a production environment. Backup and restore should work at the very least IMHO.

Has copied the message here, just in case.

Good day!
I wrote above about router rebooting on rc12. So.
I have installed Dude4.0beta3 package on the device (rc11). Updating to rc12 brought to reboots. Router worked on rc11 before today.
Today I tried to upgrade to ROS6.0 release and the router began reboots again Next, router has netinstalled again for ROS6.0 - and all stayed ok! After this Dude4.0beta3 has installed and all work!
These all say that the dude package brought to reboots after upgrading a release, or the updating process goes wrongly=)

P.S. This post is also in rc12 thread, just in case.
I forgot to install ntp packet on previous state "all work" system. Did it, and RB951 began reboot. So this dude package damages the install manager? Don't uderstand.
Now I don't want install the dude because each upgrade of the system will occur rebooting...

angboontiong · Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:48 am

all charts and graphs and polling results are stored in the ram, and saved periodically (can configure how often). when you restart the dude, it reads the previous status from the files, and then starts gathering new data, which it stores in RAM until it's time to save it. the more devices you have, the quicker this data grows in RAM.

i tried the previous version it taking a lot of bandwidth...
may i know, if we going to monitor about 1000 devices, what's the minimum RAM and bandwidth required for the monitoring?

spacemind · Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:50 am

The great Mikrotik is getting behind other good brands with it´s own monitoring software.

Please Mikrotik, Give us the CODE

or develop and get paid for that.

We need a mikrotik software/appliance to monitor MK devices (massive setup, massive manager) with easy setup for each MK model.

I can donate to the dude or other MK software development software for monitoring.

If MK has some huge money offer from big company´s to develop the dude, they would do it, but as we are only a few buyers in the world they are forgetting us.

LET US WORK !!!

To the good folks at MikroTik:
When you present a product to your customers or potential customers, whether it be free or paid, that is as buggy as Dude is, whether you realize it or not, you are sending a powerful message about your commitment to quality that no amount of advertising can overcome.

I am not an IT professional, but an RF engineer who needs to replace some routers with something very reliable and stable, yet something a non-IT expert can set up and maintain. Several IT professionals that I know have recommended your routers. But after struggling with the many bugs in Dude, I am hesitant to pay my company's money for a Mikrotik product (and my time fighting bugs).

You don't necessarily need to add features to Dude (although a few basic ones would be helpful), but you do need to address the bugs.

And I will add my support for a free lite version and a reasonably priced paid version.

Thank you.

Hey man,

For me is showing. What does not work for me are the functions with "ros_command" when a RouterBoard any loses connection "by getting off" ie the function (service) stops plot. This happens to anyone else?

ros_command(":put [interface wireless registration-table get number=0 signal-to-noise ]")

LastResort · Sun Oct 13, 2013 2:32 am

Agreed. I like The Dude because I've been using MikroTik RouterOS since before RouterBoard made any products. Since v2. I went to the 2 day MUM precursor in Vegas, was that 2003? RouterBoard was making 4 port Ethernet cards and RouterOS on an IDE flash drive. Along with others here, I'd be pleased to contribute to the development of Dude monetarily. I also agree with others about what The Dude does for the image of the company. It is a, could be, a flagship driving sales. I'm even fine with branding like Spiceworks, where a request is addressed by vendors who pay the freight for Spiceworks. Clearly it is a business model that works.

Please, offer Mikrotik users the opportunity to support The Dude Project.

Or tell us to #sand and look for an alternative to The Dude so we give up hope and move on.

chimaster · Fri Oct 18, 2013 3:40 am

+1 Again.

Normis, When we talked at MUM in Sydney you said Dude would receive some love when CCR and ROS 6 were released.

I really think it's time you (Mikrotik) made a decision on the Dude. Either release an update, release it to the wild or let everyone know that development is over.

I'm now testing several other products to move to for monitoring as I can't deal with lack of development any longer. We have 150 Mikrotik Routers and I'll continue to use them. But to me Dude was a unifying solution to my network and monitoring that has glued me together and kept me Mikrotik. I still get WOW moments when I turn up on site for a customer and do a Discovery of their network, I explain it, then start talking about lack of development and bugs and they carry on with their Ruckus or Ubiquity products. I could integrate so much more Mikrotik based on the Dude alone...

You're doing yourself a dis-service (did you hire Steve Balmer?) by stagnating. Make a decision. Just read this thread again and make a bloody decision....

kjagus · Fri Oct 18, 2013 3:47 pm

soulflyhigh · Sun Oct 20, 2013 5:33 pm

Bloody hell (please pardon my French and bad English).
If the number of developer's staff is the only problem find/hire one more (or two).
Even if they are novice they can do minor changes/bug fixes and will eventually make some real progress.
The effect of their work could be enormous for all of us who use your software/hardware products.
It's unbelievable that a company of such size as Mikrotik is today doesn't have enough resources to do it
(or wisdom to realize the potential benefits of bug-fixed/updated Dude).

The idea of opening source of The Dude (in my opinion) is unrealistic because of too many reasons.

So, dear Mikrotik, please hire someone to continue work on The Dude, there is a lot of us willing to act as a free beta testers.
Thanks in advance (for being reasonable).

Regards,
M.

chimaster · Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:35 pm

Since my post I have been reviewing many other monitoring tools. After a lot of reading and testing... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... ng_systems I have decided on Zenoss, Nagios and ICINGA came close second equal. I'm currently installing and migrating my monitoring and mapping data across and exploring some of the other useful tools available in an actively developed and supported product.

500+ Devices, 30+ Maps, 20+ Subnets, SNMP, Graphing, Performance data and whatever else I can get across from 6 years of Dude Data. Along with the rapid growth we're having all based on Mikrotik kit.

The Dude does (did) so much for me and I may continue to use it for smaller sites and client monitoring but as my business grows I need the assurance of a product that is not only actively maintained and developed but where the operating comapny is honest and open with development to the community it is supposed to support.

A (great) Free product managed badly does more damage to your reputation than a good paid product. I always thought Mikrotik was better than that, It was exciting to be part of it (since ROS 2.9.?).. now I guess my opinion of Mikrotik is just another ho-hum hardware company with contempt for their customers and lack of engagement. It's not too late... Just reply and let your customers (supporters) know where you're at.

Sorry for the lecture, but really dissapointed.

Hi guys

we need answers and honestly it looks like a suicide strategy:

1) there is the demand and I guess nobody would complain if you charge 100 Euros/year per dude license
2) there is the code base
3) you can find 2-3 engineers to develop the code and still be profitable

We still don't know the problem about a new version of the dude, and I guess we will never know but let us know what you want to do so everybody can reorganize to monitor our networks.

Let's us know what you want to do asap, or you will loose brand credibility and customer base.

See you in Venice!

benjamimgois · Thu Dec 19, 2013 12:53 pm

+1 crowd funding.

I've just been doing the rounds (again) as I always do after a decent network session with the dude, I just can't believe it's been left in the cold to die. If I were to see a roadmap and a new release I would gift Mikrotik $1000, that's what it would cost me per month for some commercial tools to do what I currently do with Dude. Mikrotik could really make some real $ with active dude development... more and more I look for alternatives that do what the dude can as simply and as easily and more and more I come back here to plea with Mikrotik to listen to their users!

Tue Jan 14, 2014 12:44 am

In my opinion Mikrotik should fork "The Dude".

Leave the current version as-is and start a new version that has a commercial paid subscription model, this will allow them to fund full-time developers working on the product.

Because "The Dude" is free and does not generate revenue, the owners of Mikrotik are focusing resources on products that do generate revenue e.g. CCR/Routerboard while The Dude is being abandoned.

chimaster · Tue Jan 14, 2014 12:50 am

Which is a shame, a license model would see at least enough revenue to fund 1 Developer. I've talked to many people who have played with it, liked it but been turned off by lack of release support and commitment.

rmmccann · Thu Jan 23, 2014 9:01 pm

Count me in as a +1 on licensing. I'd have no problem paying for a license for The Dude if it meant product updates and feature enhancements.

Thu Jan 23, 2014 10:38 pm

Another couple of licencing schemes that work well for other Network Monitoring systems that Mikrotik might consider for The Dude:

- Free up to X number of devices, then paid per available in licence blocks of 10,20,50 and 100 devices
- Unlimited monitoring of devices but NO advanced features e.g. alerting/upgrading unless paid contract
- Unlimited monitoring of devices but only store 1 days worth of historical data unless paid contract

I guess they need a way to give people a "taste" of The Dude, but still make money from it.

NetXMS does all that and more. You can even build a custom dash or put dials and graphs for disk, cpu and traffic monitoring.

Also, it has native agents and clients for Linux, Windows and Android.

There is a web interface for the Linux and Windows builds that I have not used yet, but it looks good.

The support is impressive and you can buy support contracts if needed (in my budget this year).

The developers are serious about the product and they release regular updates.

I have found it to be a very good replacement for Dude.

Screenshots can be found here: http://www.netxms.org/screenshots/
Features list: http://www.netxms.org/details/

I was really angry that MT did not support Dude properly. I am OK again now that I have found NetXMS, it solves all my problems.

Lastly, the software is free and open source!!!!

Currently we monitor a lot of systems of a CPD 1000 square meters and communications equipment from more than 200 clients.

It's a shame if it is abandoned. I think a large majority would be willing to pay to ensure the continuity of the product.

We would, of course.

Just another +1 hoping the Dude development lives on. We use the dude every day for our 1500+ device mikrotik network.
Have a free version and then a pay version for larger networks to recoup costs @ programmer time.

Or, let us at the code .. open source

A few updates that would save us hours daily:
*highlight a bunch of devices on map, and execute cli commands on them all (mass config changes)
*backup config per device easily, automatically
*scheduled auto upgrades
*100 more..

Does anyone else have a problem with the link colors? They are not updated properly when for example the link is full and the full color is set to red, parts of the link become red and not the whole link. It's frustrating. I hope they pick up the development of dude.

Also here's an old attempt of a dude inspired project that I tried:

http://www.jnodes.net

you can create a map and if you allow snmp queries from the ip that the site is hosted, you can get live data.

Give it up people. This thread has been +1'ing for more dev on the Dude for well over a year, on top of all the other "please update" topics.

And MT's *ONLY* response is to some passing comment to say it is still available for download while managing to ignore every other post? Amazing.

How can we add the device with GPS coordinates then dude will draw on map?

Kicking a dead horse.

We have a plan to make a completely new dude, that would work with CAPsMAN and have better web interface. Project is still in planning stage.

Plans. Planning stage. No road map. None can expect anything.
