Hi.
I have just gotten a new device for monitoring. I got the RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition but i realized that the dude service is installed on the intern memory of the device and i want it to be installed on the disk because of the quantity of information i want to monitor. How can i move the dude service to the external disk that is included in the device, or how can i make it works with the external disk.
Essentially it’s all stored in a SQLite database, so you just need to move the files and update dude settings to use new path.
To do this… first, disable Dude service in Winbox under Dude > Settings. Note the path to the data files is stored there. If you then go to Files section in winbox, just move the “dude” folder to under /disk1 or /sata1-part1 (depending on version). Then in the Dude > Settings, add the root path you moved the files to & restart enable the Dude service.
If you haven’t formatted the disk, you may need to do that under System > Disks in winbox. Recent version use use sata1-part1, older version may use disk1 (or you may have already picked a different name).
As long as you DO NOT MOVE the dude files when its RUNNING, you can just change the root dude directory wherever.
