There simply isn't enough storage on any RouterBoard for proper monitoring. How many graphs are really going to fit? Where are you dumping your syslogs to? How quick is information retrieval?

Yes. But the old version still does it’s job. Runs here on a dedicated win10 box just fine and does alerting with SMS over an USB-Stick. I like the idea of running it as part/package of their ROS-Software. ROS is much smaller and simpler to maintain than windows. Just copy the package to the box restart and you are done … In fact their ROS is a packaged/customized Linux. This $60 device: https://routerboard.com/RB750Gr3 + a SDCard is a good starting point. Putting an UMTS Stick for alerting to it and plug it to a small UPS (only 5W Power Usage) gives a very smart monitoring system. Disclaimer: The new Dude is not stable enough by now! They started integrating the webpart of dude into webfig. Charts are there. I guess the Dude-Client will be integrated into winbox to reduce code maintenance. Some parts of dude (user management) already went there. Dude is free so we cant blame them … We tried different systems. None of them has this fast clickable mapping. I’ve a main map with submaps for the locations where I doubleclick into. One pane for the alerts and one pane for the uplink charts.

Seriously, Mikrotik really fucked The Dude. No development for something like five years, then when they start, they shit-can the PC-installable version and the web interface. They require it to be ran from a router. Who the hell does that? I know they have CHR now, but still... ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Englhardt" < s...@genias.net > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, December 2, 2016 12:05:37 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] What NMS does everyone use and why? We are still with the DUDE. Not seen another product where mapping is better. They started developing it further but the new beta's are not usable now but promising. They integrated the Dude into their ROS. So it will be usable with CLI and run on some of their routerboards and their virtual appliance. Very easy to handle for ISP's using Mikrotik for routing. And it is still free. -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Brett A Mansfield < li...@silverlakeinternet.com > Datum: 02.12.16 04:21 (GMT+01:00) An: af@afmug.com Betreff: [AFMUG] What NMS does everyone use and why?
