I hope you provide a x64 version of The Dude Client for windows, besides/instead of the 32bit version.

hkunnana

I have upgraded my installation from 6.49.6 to 7.4 via the update option (using upgrade channel), update was smooth. The issue now is looks like my license key is no longer valid or there is something wrong. I didn't see any reference to license requirements when upgrading. Do I need to purchase a n...

hkunnana

After upgrade, the dude client takes too long to get connected to the dude server, some times hours. Any ideas?

hkunnana

Hi, I need help, I guess there is an error/bug in the dude client/server in v6.48.1 After upgrading to v 6.48.1 The dude client connection takes too long "literally hours sometimes" to get connected to the server. It is stuck at "getting stuff" while there is almost no traffic be...

hkunnana

Not a good scenario, chr has even more limitation factor if 1Mbps BW which is totally unsuitable.

hkunnana

I am using The Dude as the main monitoring system, and it is a large setup. I am not sure if 1 GB is large enough or not, but it seems to me as a small amount of RAM for such a system. The ix86 version I m using now has 2 GB, and it has only 100MB free out of the 2GB. This is why I wanted an offecia...

hkunnana

It is only 1GB RAM

Hi, I have asked this question in theDude forum, however this forum seems more logical for such a question: I am looking for a Mikrotik router that will be used mainly as a dude server. Main Requirements: Rack mounted Dual power supplies RAM>= 2GB I am confused from the website, and I am afraid to o...

hkunnana

Thank you very much for the reply, however: In my opinion, I find the Wiki document generic, and not specific. What I understood from it, is that any router os version "v6.34rc13 or newer" can support TheDude. As per the hardware in the document is refers to platforms supported with sample...

I know the default folder is set as read-only. But.

Age=Default>>>> Delaaaaaaay Using the dude Client I have seen this in both current release 6.38.5 and the RC 6.39.55 When the Agent is set to default, opening any device settings would take too much, but if the Agent is set to "server" problem is fixed. things I have tried: Rescan the devi...

hkunnana

Amen to that post. In the dude, Opening a device settings would take a long time when the Agent is set to "default"!!! Now if i set that Agent to "server", wow, there is no delay at all !!! No overall performance issues noticed other that mentioned above. I believe it can be fixe...

hkunnana

Update:

I have purchased a p1 license, I hope that would be enough for the Dude server functionality.

hkunnana

Just to add to my previous reply:

1- I am not looking for testing environment setup, and for sure not limited speed or features.
2- I do not mind paying money to have a full featured dude server setup.

hkunnana

Hi All, Long time passed since I have been to this forum. A lot has changed, but relying on the Dude server in my work has not changed till now. Now I need to install the new version (windows version started to fail multiple times), hoping it is more robust than the windows version. I know it now n...

hkunnana

Honestly id stick with the windows server for now. The new version is having "growing pains". i Think the last stable version was 6.35.1?

"Growing Pains"<<<<< I liked that very much.

hi, I've installed TheDude V4.0 B3 on a test machine, and imported my backup to it.I've noticed that the outages panel is missing from the console, while is available in the web interface (without entries)! Did I do something wrong? Also, another remark, that my devices are almost all with one or mo...

hkunnana

I guess you need to look in the handling of SNMP in general for this version.

After porting the map from an earlier version, many of the probs fail randomly (no on every device).

This is one of the errors that might relate to this problems, please see image.

hkunnana

Now, I've got an Android phone, would it be too much to ask for a light version of Dude for the Android. At least just notifications.

hkunnana

HURRAY, a new update. Thank you so much guys, will test it and feed you with the updates. Thanks for taking time to re-build the Dude.

hkunnana

This is another one of my maps, just a little funny:)

hkunnana

I have installed the client 3.5, and the server is 3.4. Why is the client asking me if I want to upgrade from v3.5 to v 3.4?!!

hkunnana

Thanks MikroTik for the support and for releasing a new version of the great DUDE. I have just downloaded the new version, and I was hoping it has answer to many questions and feature requests, but reading the published change log: v3.5: spectrum analyzer tool open files dialog sometimes could crash...

hkunnana

I am 100% with sweetdude regarding this issue. I almost daily check on MikroTik's site wishing there is an updated version for Dude. First and foremost you have the best network management product on the market and it is free. I believe that if it was managed correctly you would expand your market d...

hkunnana

The only way I know you can do that is to select the devices sub-menu from the Contents menu.
Then select Maps:all

Search for your devices here, and even you can sort by Address so if a device exists in more than one map it will be in that list.

hkunnana

export also work... whole thing but its ok Excuse me Yatzek, but how is it working? In your 1st post you wanted to export/import maps between Dude servers. I hope you don't men exporting the map as an image (pdf,png,...etc) If you know how to move maps between Dude servers, please let us know how.

hkunnana

This is not a complaint about some Dude functionality, or feature or how to use the Dude... I was setting idle, and the whole network under my eyes, some times alerts are received, some devices down, performance is good or bad. The good thing is, I am on top of all that and I can see it, and I have ...

hkunnana

In fact I am very glad I started this thread. In every post I can see genius ideas and beautiful layouts. I hope every dude user shares with us their ideas.

hkunnana

I want to be able to export graph data as values (the only option now it to export as images). This will help analyzing and more graphing options (e.g log scale graphs )

What ever happened to the voting arrangement, this is a mess now.
where are the votes? why are 11 votes are grater that 35? Are these all what was there before?

One last question; Does it really matter to be concerned about the voting and the votes?

Thanks to all.

hkunnana

Two successive versions in a short time!, I was expecting a major issue resolved in one of these updates;

"SMTP Authentication "

For me this is a primary feature that needs to be introdced in the next version of The Dude.

Can we hope for it?

hkunnana

Is this related to Dude ?

Anyway, There are many utils that monitor folders/files and gives alerts according to configuration. Google and you shall find a solution.

As for the SMS gateway, it is a normal PC with Windows XP on it, Actually I have two gateways now (one on a PC, and the other on a VMware machine) It is not the hardware, it is the S/W (NowSMS)!

hkunnana

I need quick help!

I need to give a certain user on the Dude server access to a single map. How to do that?

hkunnana

The least I can do or say is to to thank you for your efforts and continous support for the Dude.

Thank you so much, and I will try the new version.

hkunnana

I had a similar problem. Generally this happened because on discover settings, the telnet service was set to be discovered; all you need for new devices to be discovered is to choose not to discover the telnet service. If the telnet service is discovered on some device, it will automatically will be...

I would like to have more custom icons for devices and the other components of dude.

I wounder if someone has custom icons/images set that can share with us all.

or at least guide to where to find such thing and how to make it usable in Dude.

hkunnana

To add more,
Where can one fine the list of variables that can be added to the device's appearance;
in the screen shot, notice that [device_peroformance()] is not available in the drop-down list.
So if removed , one has to add it manually.

I hope some one can help me customise the Appearance of Devices (If it is applicable, or I will make it as a feature request from the Dude team). If in device Appearance properties, the variable [device_performance()] is there , the device would look like this Device performance.JPG I would like to ...

in Dude V.3B6 the only option to print from a certain list (devices,outages,...etc) is to print to .pdf, which is good, but I have remarks on the outcome: 1) the sorting in the printed table doesn't apply to the pdf document. 2) the list is printed as a picture, so editing the text is not possible (...

hkunnana

Thanks for the reply,
I have removed the unnecessary services,
But don't you think that this shouldn't happen. I mean why a new installation would insert (some) repeated services while they are already there?

In the outages, devices, services,... etc list there is a drop down selection menu at the top, and it is very useful. The issue is, I usually have a hard time finding the "all" selection if I have ever changed it. It is there, but I prefer if it was at the top or the bottom of the list so ...

hkunnana

First I sure would like to thank MicroTik for their efforts and sure for paying attention to our remarks and wishes. Second, in the feature request wiki, 2 of the requests I have entered are fulfilled, thanks. The question is what is better: *) edit the wiki and remove the entries, or *) leave them ...

hkunnana

I have repeated entries in the Probes (eg. netbios,memory,...etc) that results in repeated services in discoverd devices.

The question is, if I didn't creat these probes, where did they came from? Could be the multiple versions installations of dude over the same machine?

Now I have Dude v3.0B6.

hkunnana

For Dude 3B6 when configured to run as a service, "reset" on the server dialogue gives the warning " All server configuration will be lost, do you really want this?" , I respond "yes", and nothing happenes. All data is the same. This is not the case if the server is con...

hkunnana

Actually I was able to update previosly server was 3b4 and client was 2.2. When connecting to the server it prompted me to update, and it was succesfull.

hkunnana

Now, when I connect from client having 3b5 to server 3b6 , updater starts to update after asking me, when the progress bar reaches end, it indicates that update has failed.

hkunnana

I have Dude v3.0b6 installed locally, and remotly v3.0b5.
When connecting to remote, Automatic Updater asks

"Do you want to update to version v3.0beta5?" !!

I think it should ask if want to update the remote as it is lower version.

hkunnana

I have installed Dude v3B5, fresh installation and discovered the network.
All devices are discovered.
In the devices list, only online (active) devices show their MAC address correctly, but the offline devices show a MAC addresses of 000000000000

hkunnana

Thanks "s0kud0" for the technical analysis of the problem, it was helpful. For the client server issue, this the way I manage now, but in fact I don't understand why it doesn't show maps in 256 colors in dude v3.x while it is available in v2.x ! Actually I have tested Dameware mini remote ...

hkunnana

The problem remains in v3B5. Please tell us if there is a setting to overcome this problem. I believe it is easy, as it doesn't exist in v2.2

I cannot set my terminal servers to more than 256colors, and actually I don't want to, as it will affect bandwidth.

hkunnana

I vote for this feature to be added in future releases of dude.
Please add it to the feature request wiki

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/MikroTik_ ... e_Requests

hkunnana

Problem solved in 3b5, thanks.

hkunnana

Perhaps there still listed in the services list (where all services for all devices are listed)?

You are right, it is still there in the all services list!

shouldn't it be removed when removed from the device's properties?

hkunnana

in V 2.2
I have removed all services from some devices, but they are still monitored and I get all kinds of alerts on the services that I have deleted from these devices.

hkunnana

Update the map display over rdp problem doesn't exist with v2.2. Only with v3B4.

Try to set the color option of the connection to more than 256 colors.

hkunnana

Thank you for your help Diganet,

I am asking for which "option" that can help me overcome this problem, not which client.

I would like to ask, if you have a similar environment (using terminal service to access a windows server that has dude server on it)?

Which RDP client option you mean? where is that?
Can you please explain more?

hkunnana

I have a remote windows 2000 Advanced server that I usually logon to using terminal service. I have installed the dude on that server and started discovering the network, and it is ok.

I have 2 questions:

1-Why there is always 2 dude.exe processes in the TaskManager list of running processes.
2- How can differentiate between the server process and the console process.

hkunnana

Is it possible: 1) in the outages window, I wish to be able to tell in which map is that device. 2) It would be great if there is a "Go To Device" or "Find in a Map" option that will find that object in its map from the various tables (Links, Services, Networks, Devices,Outages,....

hkunnana

This is a great feature, but it would be much logical to have a tree of the nested maps in the contents column on the left.
Also, I hope we could link devices through maps.IntrMap links.

hkunnana

How can I add vote for a certain features? I had to open the post for edit to add new requests. I almost deleted all the requests by mistake!!!

Please make the display of the MAC address by hex numbers not by manufacturer or at least make it optional.
I can't remember all manufacturers codes.

hkunnana

in Dude v3b3 chooing server run mode as a service, the whole map goes RED
All monitored devices and services are not reachable! "time out"

Could we have the ability to link maps together using normal links? This way we could divide the great maps to smaller hierarchical maps, which is easier to manage.
