Hardware to run Dude server

Sun Apr 10, 2022 9:48 pm

Starting from Dude v6 we can run Dude Server only using RouterOS. For now, we can run it on RouterBOARD devices and also using x86 Hardware/VM.


Dude Server - System requirements
The_Dude_v6 - System_requirements_for_server_package
RouterOS Hardware:
Download - Extra packages


Dude Agent - System requirements
The Dude v6/Agents
Agents are other Dude servers that can be used as intermediaries for device monitoring. Starting from RouterOS 6.38.x any RouterOS device can be a Dude agent without any installation or configuration required.


Hardware considerations
Small environment: < 200 devices
1. hEX (RB750Gr3) with microSD card 16/32GB
2. VM with 1 vCPU/512MB RAM/10GB Disk

Medium environment: 200 - 500 devices
1. RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition with included 60GB SSD
2. VM with 2 vCPU/2GB RAM/20GB Disk

Large environment: > 500 devices
1. RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition with included 60GB SSD
2. TILE based device which have M.2 slot for SSD
3. VM with 4 vCPU/4GB RAM/40GB Disk
Note: Dude can be unstable and slow with big number of devices/probes


Storage considerations
System requirements for server package
Note: For models with 16MB on-board storage use of USB/μSD storage is required to run The Dude server on the device.
Note: Preferably you should use industrial grade mircoSD cards and USB drives as they have longer life cycle under applications that can write data to flash more frequently as The Dude server database in this case. For large network monitoring it is suggested to us highly reliable HDD/SSD drives.

CCR microSD slot performance is not to great, at least per our tests it is not good enough for The Dude server storage. I would try again with some high speed usb3.0 flash or drive. Also in best case with latest v6.38rc build on the device, to have all of the latest db performance tweaks.
