High trafic from dude server to dude client

RouterOS The Dude

I’ve a relative small network (<100 devices) monitored by a dude-server v2.2 where a few (less than 6, normaly only 2) simultaneos remote dude-clients connect to monitor this network.
Recently I added the nice ability to watch link trafic and graph from some MT divices (aboute 10) at that network and I notice that every 5 min I got a high trafic (10 to 25Mb/s) from the dude-server to the dude-client (interfiring in dude-server ping response to tested devices).
My impression is that all data needed to generate a graph (like mrtg) are send to all logged clients, eaven if they are not watching any graph and so making remote monitoring dependend on high speed connection.

Is there a way to avoid this trafic and generating graph only at the server so they can be watche exporadicaly with no high bandwith needed ?

Thanks,

Alexander

Only time i experienced something like this was due to the fact that my client was also running a server and the two were interacting for some reason generating a lot of traffic i shut down the server (green light up top) on the client end and bandwidth dropped. but the bandwidth was less during my incidents only time i see traffic that high is when im downloading the configuration for the client from the server at first run. Actualy one more thing how did you set up the traffic monitoring? Ive seen as a result of my code one of my snmp probes seems to generate a very large amount of traffic (512 steady maybe) so i had to disable them.

Edit:
just to be clear i dont think what your seeing is normal i watch charts all day long and under normal circumstances dont see dude bandwidth anywhere near what your saying so im thinking you have a problem.

I allready have local server down (no green light on top).

What I did is to configur a Link to have “Mastering Type: routeros” and with correct credentials on the Mikrotik device coneccted to the link I can choose the “Interface” from where I whant to get tarfic information.

Than a the “History” tab I enabled “Graph Bit Rate”

I checked exactly what Dude counts and it is seeing 27 Mikrotik devices wher it sucessfuly authenticated.

I also counted 22 links where I enabled “Trafic visualization” but not all have “Graph Bit Rate” enabled.

Thanks for further hints.
