How about an official feature request thread?

Well things are really slow on the Dude software interest it seems. But features I would like to see are.

1. Auto SNMP query to auto add device name and address
2. Auto arrange button to arrange the devices so they are not overlapping
3. Parent / Child relationship so it can build them into a tree type view (ex. select a parent device)
4. Item Type selection (Ap, Bridge, Router, Server, ect)
5. Priority for monitoring so devices that are more crucial are monitored more often.
6. Selection to indicate device tends to go into sleep mode (than have it ping it with a larger packet or some other method to really determine if the device is down or not)
7. Some default device images for item types.

The software is really nice and has alot of potential

DITTO DITTO DITTO!

I agree with what you had to say.

Come on Mikrotik, why don't we start a requests and idea's forum?

if you have some great ideas, just post on this thread, we read it all anyway

Is there any place where one can find out more about MT scripting? The info in the MT PDF is very limited. Maybe some eg's of stuff. Currently I am trying to make a script for logging user's traffic usage, but it will require too many scripts the way I'm planning on doing it, plus a script for every user. The altirnative would be radius, but I would like to have a script mailing me each day with the total MB's a client downloaded in 24 hours. Any ideas on this? I use the duel DGW system for loadbalancing, so with this way of logging I can see what users downloads the most, so I know what line to put them on. At the moment I feel I should go back to RADIUS only for logging purposes.

duh?? http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/

Giepie · Mon Jun 06, 2005 4:57 am

LOL! I meant like much more info than the usermanual! I got pretty much working what I needed, but now the spider bit me, and I want to do way more. I was thinking in terms of scripts people made, and the rest of us could use for specific needs etc. I made a script sending me a mail and SMS everytime the public IP changes. Has anyone got no-ip to work yet? Dynamic Dns is way to slow with their updating!

the user manual contains everything you need to use RouterOS. every specialist that we have has learned everything from it. there are plenty of scripting examples here:

http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/appex/scripting1

and the manual totals up to 580 pages, i don't think you can call it small

No-ip will not work, only thing you can use is this:

We created a script and a smtp-to-ddns proxy to support our Dynamic DNS here:

http://forum.mikrotik.com//viewtopic.php?t=531

Use the second script in that thread. I am still working on upgrading it to 2.9 since some of the syntax has changed. Anytime your external dhcp interface changes its IP address it will update your DNS records on our system.

The ddns built into MT is the true rfc 2136 dynamic dns, but not a single provider supports this. You need to have your own dns infrastructure to use this style of ddns updates, that is why our dynamic dns services are more popular these days.

i would like to be able to lable link lines:
ether in the center for the type of link or at the edges of the devices for an interface lable,
and it would be nice to change the color of the link line.

SSH? In the tools menu there is telnet but for more security can an ssh client be built in or even open an external application (like putty)?
But well done, this app looks great and we are already using it fairly heavily.

kenk · Wed Jun 15, 2005 3:43 am

This is a great product. We've used Itmonitor/PI from OSIsoft and others in the past. Well done guys.. Would like to be able to edit, label, and colour lines Would be good to backup configuration, maps.. now that we've
put more time the product. Now trying a few other probes like radius whos continued operation is critical to us. :) Kenk

Example using Putty.
Make a new tool. Call it SSH and then in the command write this:

c:/putty.exe -ssh -l [Device.UserName] -pw [Device.Password] [Device.Address]

After that you can ssh to your boxes.
You can download the putty.exe from this webpage: http://www.putty.nl/download.html

1. Auto SNMP query to auto add device name and address

If the network has RouterOS routers on it, there is a discovery protocol already built in. Same is true for Cisco routers and probably several others. That being the case, it would be relatively simple to add a config option that is something like "Discovery Auth" that would be used to log into a device (if it is a RouterOS device) and see what other routers exist directly connected. This way, not only can you get the name and address of the routers, but you can actually discover the layout of the network.

butche I like that idea I remember before microsoft took over visio that visio use to that feature and would practically draw out the entire network for you. Was a very nice feature that was sorely missed in later versions of Visio.

yes....I was searching for tool that would do just that bzt I didnt find it...
When I first saw dude....i talked to myselft :) this is the tool that could implement this :)

I assume simple tracert with little logic can do the magic :)

brammator · Wed May 31, 2006 9:22 am

how about linux dude-server package? wine requires too many XWindow libraries.

brammator · Wed May 31, 2006 9:37 am

or maybe sending all snmp queries from remote host via ssh (through 'http connect' proxy?)

UPD: i mean, 'connect SSH to remote shell through proxy and run snmpget/snmpwalk commands', not 'sending snmp queries through proxy'.

aviper · Wed May 31, 2006 12:02 pm

Still I need to be able to write smtp server by hostname, not only IP.

its working but i would like to ask for command also... can i add some command with this ? i can enter device via this tool with ssh. but i would like to send command also like /system reboot. is possible ? I mean when i select this tool it will enter device with ssh and reboot device.

It is better to use openSSH if you want to issue commands and have it done without any popup screen, just straight execution.
The line goes like this :
cmd /C C:\"Program Files (x86)"\OpenSSH\bin\ssh admin@[Device.AddressesColumn] interface wireless set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] max-station-count=30

Hi,

thanks for your help. I solved the problem and found the solution like this;
C:\putty.exe -ssh -l [Device.UserName] -pw [Device.Password] [Device.FirstAddress] -m C:\dude.txt
its take commands from dude.txt and enter to device. I shared this may help other friends.
and now Im tring to do this all device at one time if possible on dude.
Thanks..
