Re: The Dude on RB750G

It depends on how many devices and services you will monitor. I guess you could use it for a small amount, say 10 devices. Also, from experience I can tall you that the disc/ssd or whatever the mikrotik devices have is not suitable for many writes. Too much devices and dude starts to act up because ...

If your dude is installed on a windows box, the you could configure a 'execute on server' type of notification which can call a windows tool that does the job. You can pass a bunch of variables to that tool/program. Also, please post such questions in a different topic. The probe tread is meant for ...

Re: two ideas for dude

1. No need for 2 dude servers. You can use one of them as a dude agent. You do that by setting up a special user called agent (see groups tab from admins section) on one of the dude servers, then add it as an agent (agent tab under global settings) on the other dude server. Then in device settings, ...

If a parent device goes down, you will not receive notifications for the children devices. 2: I'm not sure if I got this right, but you are complaining that if you Ack a device it doesn't alert you that it came back up? IF so, don't ack it :...

As for the 4 and 8, I used telnet and tcpdump. It clearly returns one of those numbers. And the probe works :) at least for my mysql versions.

As I said, I've been using The Dude for approximately one month, so my import file is very small, only 17MB :)

An I haven't changed the settings on what data and how long to keep it. I didn't even know that you can do that with the 3.6 version.

Is there a way to vacuum the db on RouterOS?
