Hello all, I've got a question, it has passed here some other times but never with the info I would like to have.. I need the Cisco 3750 router OID's for the current outstanding/active DHCP leases. I know The Dude has a subpage within SNMP where it should be possible to list these, but I want to kno...

Minollie

Hi Normis, With the initial setup of The Dude v 3.x and as fas as I know 4.betax there was a security certificate included. This one was issued by Mikrotik to be used for https and other secure links. I found the file in [drive:]\dude\data\files directory. But.. since you seem to have forgotten abou...

Minollie

One more little thing...
How about a new certificate?? The old one is getting grey hairs and looks like a dinosaur..

Thanks!

Minollie

Ai... Now I understand why The Dude seemed to be dead, you were waiting for us to post bugs/requests... Here are some bugs/request: B1: every now and then The Dude server gives up polling SNMP values, a service restart or server reboot solves this, but that doesn't seem to be the way to solve it if ...

Minollie

Hi guys.., Sorry to say so, but that's not what I want.. :( Showing OID values within the labels is sort of an ease if you ask me.. The first screenshot shows the Device-settings of the switch I'm trying to get this info from. I've nice and smooth added the OID in the CustomField1 including the norm...

Minollie

Hi there.. I've run into a little weird thing.. In the (web)client of both 3.6 and 4b3 I see some admins logged in with either web/tcp, some secure some not. I've set general session time out to 12 hrs what should be more then enough for the session to disappear at a certain moment because none of m...

Minollie

Hi all, I want to know the following: For ease of maintenance we would like to be able to list all our switches in the Device panel with lots of info about the switches.... There you see the Flag/Name/Address/Mac/Type and Maps listing of the devices.. There is an option to add CustomField 1/2/3 to t...

Minollie

Hi MotivAction, Just a quick question.. (maybe more than one..) How is everything connected at your place? I assume you've got the dish and the ADSL connected to one and the same router with DUAL WAN abilities? If yes, then maybe it's (timeconsuming but) worth digging thru the MIB of the router in s...

Minollie

Hi all, I wish this request/feature will be taken into consideration.. Since we use lots of devices with several IP-addresses on it (listening deamons for Oracle DB's) it could/would be incredibly convenient if this request would be implemented in the next version of Dude (running 3.6 here, so no lu...

Minollie

Hi guys, A quick question of mine with yet another request between the lines.. After discovery of devices in a DHCP environment I think it would be very convenient if discovered devices could than be monitored by hostname (which in this case is not equal to DNS-name.. [much longer usually]). Example...

Minollie

Hi guys,

Is there anyone with a suggestion how to make this working?

I'm still puzzled how to do this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Minollie

Minollie

Hi all, I've got a question, simply because I seem to have a hard time to get something working. At our place the people want to monitor business processes. For example: email As we all know email depends on several working components/devices or services on them. - you've got your incoming connectio...

Minollie

Did you, or not, understand what I meant with the second part of my post?

I hope I was clear in that part but after re-reading it I doubt it myself..

So, if you need clarification about anything, just let me know.

Minollie

Minollie

Hi guys.. I would like to suggests the following. When you have a submap and look at the appearance options I've the following options configured as following. All Unknown: Grey All UP: Green Some Partially Down: Yellow Some Completely Down: Orange Some Acknowledged: Blue The reason I don't use red ...

Minollie

Hi all,

Any news about the new version yet?
I hope to hear about it soon, since waiting for something without information about it is one of the most frustrating things I know existing..

Best regards!
Minollie

Minollie

Hi all, OK, before you all go beserk and wonder how stupid I'm asking this, my question is a bit more difficult than just ordinary info in the label.. ;) Here it comes.. In my config I have the following currently in my label: [NetMap.Name] Devices: [NetMap.DevicesCount] Up : [NetMap.DevicesUpCount]...

Minollie

Hi all, Question for Uldis/Normis and the other developers. Would you mind sharing your progress of developing a new version and, if possible, an estimated date of release with the users of The Dude? I would greatly appreciate it, even if it's only for informational purposes and not 100% sure to hea...

Minollie

Hi Normis,

Great answer.. but.. we both know that 3.4 is doing a pretty good job but just not everything..

Will/can you keep us posted about the progress?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Minollie

Minollie

Hi Normis, Asking for the obvious... Do you happen to have sort of expected release-date? The sooner the better since some jerks here are trying to get monitoring up and running without a usefull tool which I consider The Dude to be. So, hope to hear from you guys! Regards, Minollie (yes, bit anxiou...

Minollie

Hi guys, @ Normis: Would you please be so kind to fill us in about the new tools/features etcetera in the upcoming new version of The Dude? Version 3.4 already showed much improvement, I hope the new one makes another step towards perfection. I've mentioned both The Dude itself as the routers from y...

Minollie

Hi guys, In one of my maps I would like to display the statistics of total/up/down device counts in a simple way. Let's say something like this. I've 1000 devices found by discovery (which runs every 3 hours). First I have 1000 devices up, none down. That makes my total-devices count 1000. In the me...

Minollie

Hi guys, I seem to be unable to find this anywhere on the forum, let alone in the manual.. Can someone tell me how I configure The Dude to show the NetBIOS user or the logged on user (Windows device) in the label? There is a variable available [Device.UserName] but that one is not supplying the corr...

Minollie

Hi there, Maybe, but I'm not entirely sure about it if it will work.., you can create an overview page with (lots) of submaps. I saw you can configure submaps to poll and use notifications too. For sofar I know settings of a submap are different of these of a normal map, but don't shoot me if I'm wr...

Minollie

Hi there, Actually I don't know the answer to this question but I'm as curious as you about a probable solution. It can really mess your map up when you have lots of configured services down on a device of which it's label then gets screwed up. Maybe it's possible to align them vertically (don't kno...

Minollie

Hi there, Me too know for sure that this feature is available in some of the NMS tools on Earth, for example WhatsUP but I wouldn't advice you to switch to that packet.. It's hell.. I tried to do something similar but the Dude is (at this moment) probably by design not capable of showing the state o...

[quote="itafnoc"]... the best thing to do is deleting the node that generates the problem (and re-create it). Normally this solves the problem ...[/quote] The Dude would be doing almost nothing at all when I delete all the devices with this problem.. ;) Recreating the device is still givin...

Minollie

Hi Sweetdude, I'll try to do something with the probes the way you made them for CiscoCPU, don't know when because my schedule is almost entirely full and my (well deserved?) vacation is (finally) closing in (starts next week.. ;)).. Anyway, I've attached a little document with this post what I (and...

Minollie

Hi guys, I run into this annoying bug after the following procedure... I add a new device by discovering a single IP-address, /32. Services to be discovered: ping only (even though I don't really need it on some devices). After the discovery is completed I add other services manually, just to be on ...

Minollie

Hi guys, Sadly enough I keep running into this very annoying bug within the Dude 3.4 (and before). I start to think the 4.2 G of unknown and unfound services are related to a bug with any SNMP version and community-strings. I get the feeling that assigning a SNMP-Profile does some sort of SNMP walk ...

Minollie

Hi guys... Status update... Well, everything still not as I want it to be.. Whatever I try results in gaps within the graph when values enter error-state.. I tried to do it with one/two/three services/functions to determine whether or not the state is OK, I tried it with a logic probe.. but nothing ...

Minollie

Hi guys, In my case here with The Dude 3.4 the bug of 4.29 G unknown services has come up again (or hasn't been gone at all?).. Even worse.. even while I haven't even had the chance to configure services on the device (added service less) it now tells me there is one service OK, but I don't have any...

Minollie

Hi all, I know this thread was dead for a long time, but I need a little advice about something. At my work we're in the middle of a migration from devices to a different IP-range. We used 10.21.x.y, we're now migrating to 10.53.x.y. As a way to monitor these devices right from the start I added the...

Minollie

I was able to do this with two probes, be careful if you copy and paste a probe. It will put it on every device the original probe is already on. If you decide not to graph with the 2nd probe changing it will break the first probe and you will have to go into every device, turn off and back on grap...

Minollie

Hi guys, I'm running into a problem of which I don't have the faintest idea how to get this working the way I want it to work.. The case itself is pretty easy.. We've sensorprobes measuring relative humidity in % and/or temperature in degrees C via SNMP. In the real-life example below I use the sett...

Minollie

@ Normis Hi Normis, Actually I already use a SNMP probe for the time on one map, but there are some drawbacks behind using this as a way to display time. 1- If the device used to get the time fails you don't have the time any longer (how obvious.. ;)) 2- I think it's not particularly desired to put ...

Minollie

Hi guys, I actually don't want as much as a custom webinterface but I do have a little question about it.. I want to give some people access to different views. When I send them the link I have to send them to the homepage of the webinterface, but that isn't what I want to do.. I want to be able to ...

Minollie

Hi Normis,

Thank you for thinking it over and man.. you're fast in replying..

Minollie

Hi Normis, OK.. KisstheNet is something but I fear that that is not what the request is about.. Is it an option to create something like The Dude (great program btw) which is suitable for use from an USB-device. Usually that means that the program doesn't write anything into the registry of the lapt...

Minollie

Hi guys, The Dude 3.4 leaves me with a couple of questions. 1: Occasionally The Dude 3.4 simply panics and turns almost everything into down-state, sending lots of false positives then. Sadly enough I haven't been able to retrieve the moment and circumstances when this happen as both are various and...

Minollie

I would also like to be able to download a portable version of The Dude.
I'm not entirely sure if it would be smart to use the current version for this or a slighty less equipped one.

We'll see what the guys at Mikrotik think of it and maybe make here..

Regards,
Minollie

Minollie

Hi guys... I've a few questions about usage of the webinterface.. 1: is there a way to unack a device with status acked? I've troubles finding this option.. 2: is there a way to re-enable monitoring of a device which is not monitored? I've troubles finding this option too.. (or it won't work within ...

Hi guys. I run into a problem that is not only annoying, it's weird.. ;) Running The Dude v 3.1 (on W2003 server) OK, first I add a new networkmap (if that works fine), then I'm going to add a device. I follow this procedure. - Add New Device - Enter IP address - Click on Discover - The Dude discove...

Hi guys, I've a little question for you. I've got some information on my labels, as many more of you do. I was wondering if there is a way to align the text you want to have in the label to the left? Now when I enter text in an aligned way The Dude (3.1) displays the information on the labels in the...

Minollie

Hi all, About reprobes resulting in spikes.. Actually, that's quite logic.. ;) In most cases The Dude uses a certain interval for the probe, let's say every 15 seconds. When you reprobe the device you're very likely to do so somewhere in between two polls.., the returned value seems to be stored som...

Minollie

Hi SweetDude.. No thanks for the help.. I just 'love' to dig thru thousands of values.. ;). You're welcome! Since I'm a disaster in coding with help of functions etc like array_size etc. Could you assist in coding something that (w)(c)ould do the trick? (We recently lost a whole bunch of channels du...

Minollie

Hi Dude, It remains incredibly silent here when I do a SNMP-walk on your given OID... So, we're not particularly happy with Cisco Port-Channels and SNMP, are we? ;) Nevertheless... I might have found something else. Using the good-old IF-MIB (especially XEntry) I found another place where SNMP tries...

Minollie

@ Everybody: I've again run into the same problem as you describe it in The Dude 3 rc3. A workaround I discovered and used in prior versions and this one is: Go to any map, create a submap using option New Map.., give the new map a name. After doing so, put devices on the new map and delete the subm...

Minollie

Hi Dude... Don't know if this helps but maybe it's worth giving it a try: I found this (after digging thru almost 100000 OID's) Interfacedescription: [oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.x")] Interfacespeed: [oid("1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.x")] bps One of our 4 Gbps channels pops-up with 40000000...

Hi Normis, I made a little mistake about The Dude's server component being OK. Shortly after posting my previous post this to did no longer work. In short: The Dude 3.0 rc2 is detected as a Trojan by aVast! Since I didn't get a response of them to an earlier mail about the detection to be considered...

Hi guys, I should have kept my mouth tightly shut.. *stupid me!* aVast! 080910-0, 10/09/2008 again detects The Dude 3 RC 2 to be infected with the same generic trojan as 3 RC 1. After some snooping around I've received the point I've started to believe it's the Dude client which is 'infected'. aVast...

Hi guys, Getting back to my post about aVast!.. As far as I know for now, aVast! does no longer detect The Dude as a possible trojan, this is as of 09-09-'08. But..., since RC1 was detected as trojan couple of days after release I think it's a very good idea to prevent jumping to conclusions and wai...

Personally I'm afraid there are a couple too much bugs in the new version.. - the background image defaults to a random image The Dude finds, occasionally screwing up maps. - within the listing of images, most of them appear twice, except for a few new ones. - the icons of the devices disappear (and...

Hi Talon63, Damn.. I've been unclear in my first post, sorry about that.. I know how to get rid of the resolved outages by using the webinterface or the client, no troubles there. The problem I'm referring to are several active outages from 2007. Since they make the overview out of balance I want to...

Minollie

Hi all, Anybody here with a way to get rid of outages? When I've a look at Outages in the Dude the very old ones still appear. I want to clean the history to the start of this year (2008), so outages which started in 2007, gets refreshed and logs don't show any outage older than this current year. I...

Minollie

Hello Normis, Just a simple question... What do you exactly mean with the statement that 'it will be out soon' from end of August 2007? We'll have to wait a week more (already past that week), a month or how long? There's a huge gap between the availability of The Dude v3.0b6 and The Dude v3.0b7 whe...

Minollie

Hi guys, At the time of writing this post I can tell you that adding a device manually and then assign services to it is still very likely to annoy you with 4.3 G of services in unknown state.. I would really appreciate it very much if Mikrotik would solve this bug asap... It's damn annoying to sit ...

Minollie

Hi guys, In The Dude v3.0beta6 the memory leak is also present. I've got a distinct feeling that it's here usually under particular circumstance that the leak appears. The last time the leak occured here, it appeared about one hour after I closed the Webinterface from The Dude, where the last action...

Minollie

Not for the same reason I'm answering this post... But it's out of a 'damn curiousity overkill' why I post because I'm curious about when we can expect The Dude v3.0 beta 7 (or any other The Dude version). It's been a while since the release of both The Dude 2.2 and 3.0b6.. Can anyone shed some ligh...

Minollie

Hi all, For some weird reason The Dude v 3.0 beta 6 is not removing a couple of outages from June 2007 in the webinterface.

Hi Winkelman,

After a little struggle I managed to get graphs from the values I want to monitor. I've to say it's not that easy to figure it all out, but thanks to your example a human has got to be very stupid if you won't be able figure it out someday..
