re-posting on new topic as my previous post was disapproved.
Indeed I answered an old topic, but i couldn’t find any other post talking about that problem other than a 2013 old one.
We are using RouterOS 6.40.3 on a KVM (Proxmox host) : works great.
We started to use Dude 6.40.3 :
package is installed on RouterOS VM.
using Dude client from Windows.
We lost all dude data (network maps, function, etc…) twice in a week on a RouteROS VM reboot.
We found this bug was already known, and supposed to be fixed since 6.38 (which is obviously not).
We are looking for something to monitor our IOTs network.
So my questions are :
Is Dude considered as a stable product ready for production ? or not ?
Is Mikrotik working to fix this “heavy” bug ?
Should we have a look on an alternative ?
I also would like to have a official answer to this question. I don´t know if i can trust 6.40.3 yet, i still on version 3.6 that still working fine for me.
How did you install that VM? On ESXi, using the distributed .vmdk files without changing the disk type to SCSI (i.e. use as IDE)
leads to this problem.
Fortunately now there is a .ova file which has the correct disk type. Install your VM from that and it probably is fixed.
Seems that the dude development is postponed again like it was few years ago. What reaction came back to you when you sent an error report to support? Provided you did that…
I don’t understand why they spend effort on this and not on important routing topics like IPv6 and BGP.
There already is an abundance of monitoring packages on the market (both free and non-free) and there could be a place
for some plugins for those packages. Indeed some users already contribute such things. Running a well maintained
and versatile monitoring package on a general-purpose system is much more sensible than cramming such a thing in a router,
let alone trying to develop such a package independently (rather than e.g. distributing one of the existing ones as a
Linux metarouter image).
Even I can agree with you, there are many people that find this useful. Me included. And once it is working somehow it is pity that it should be discarded, IMHO.
