I will focus in this topic describing how to get the most juice out of the Mikrotik Dude.Īt this point my largest dude setup consists of: You can have it all (and maybe you better do). I'm not gonna start any sort of a contest like what's better, a hammer or a screwdriver, SolarWinds or Zabbix, Dude or intermapper, etc. IMHO, no other monitoring systems other that dude can graphically represent the network the way the dude does. That way I got used to having many systems at the same time to get the most from the network I'm working with. Every free and paid system has it's own unique benefit and it's own drawbacks. What I can tell for sure is that there is no one monitoring system that will fit everyone with any needs. All these years I've used tens of monitoring systems while working for many ISPs and similar companies. I wanted to write down a post and describe my Dude setup so other people on the community can benefit from this nice monitoring tool.įirst of, I am working in communications industry as long as I remember myself.
