MIKROTIK DUDE BASIC INSTALLATION GUIDE, yes only basic :)

~ Article by Syed Jahanzaib ~
CNMS - Centralized Network Monitoring & Management System !!! - JZ

Example MAP of my Oce LAN
What is THE DUDE ?
Answer is below > As Mikrotik Wiki denes:
The Dude is a free Monitoring application by MikroTik, which can dramatically improve the way you
manage/monitor your network environment.
It will automatically scan all devices within specied subnets, Draw and Layout a map of your networks,
monitor services of your devices and execute actions based on device state changes.
Some customized probes used in this map:

3 of 25
Voice / Speak Alert on various target / devices down/up events

NOC Room temperature (It alerts when temperature goes above 25)
Vmware ESXi 4.0/5.0 Guest VM + windows/linux servers Power ON/Shutdown from Dude using
Tool Menu with customized scripts *
UPS Load / Voltages / UPS Internal Temperature
IBM Lotus Number of Mail Waiting / DB Connected Users / Availability Index
HP Printers Toner Remaining in %
No. of Connected Users on each A.P
Disk Free/Total Statics, Alerts when Specied partition goes above 90%
Disk Read/Write Monitoring / Alert
High Memory Monitoring Alert
Windows Service Monitor on SAP Servers
Cisco ASA / Switches CPU Load/ Up-time / Temperature
Cisco Access Point Active Connected Users
Alerts for Lotus Domino / SAP Servrs Service alert , for example if server is on but specic service
is down
Wireless Link Usage Monitoring
Internet / LAN Link Monitor, If the link is in full utilization i.e 4mb, the link color changes to
Orange, indicating Load on the link. very useful to monitor load.
Mikrotiks The DUDE LIVE Monitoring System , It shows Live View of all devices and servers on
screen, Auto Refreshes at dened intervals,
GREEN icon shows target is Active & Healthy,
ORANGE shows one or more probes failed to poll query any specic counter/oid,
RED means the target device is not reachable via network or powered o.
With some my of my Customized Advance Monitoring Probes Like UPS Temperature, KESC Voltages IN
, NOC Room Temperature, HDD Monitor, I have also made some Custom Alerts, For Example if NOC
Room Temperature Goes above 25 Degree, It will show Visual Alert, Email or SMS. or if D: drive space on
mail server goes above 80% it will alert me, If a targeted service on specic server stop, it visually alerts.
Voice Speak Alert for various counters.
Very good and advance Monitoring System, It can Shutdown and POWER ON any system on MAP
using tools and custom scripts, Also I have added some customize tools/scripts to run on target device
using custom command , added in tool menu.
We call it CNMS, Centralized Network Monitoring System
Thanks to DUDE
You can Install the DUDE on your Windows PC , OR you can also install it on your Mikrotik
x86/RouterBoard.

After installation, Both management is done in a same manner.You access the DUDE installed on
Mikrotik by using your windows base dude to connect to mikrotik.
If you are running the DUDE on PC, you can start by going to START / Programs / The due
If you are running the DUDE on Mikrotik, rst install the dude on your windows pc, then using it, you
can connect to Mirkotiks dude. Same as you use Winbox to connect to any Mikrotik. You can use the
dude on your windows to connect to any dude all over the network.
Ok execute the dude. You will be asked for the credentials, Just like Mikrotik default installation, dude
have no default password,
ID = admin
Password = No Password, Just Enter
Now you will The Dude main screen. Just for an example, I will add simple Network by using Auto
DISCOVERY. You can later create your own desired network MAP once you understand HOW things
works in dude.
Use your local subnet series. Also click on LAYOUT MAP AFTER DISCOVERY COMPLETE.
Remove un-necessary services from SERVICES menu, so you will not get red icon if the services not
found.
Its best to install SNMP on all of your servers to get the maximum information like Link usage/CPU
7/6/2015 3:10 PM

/Memory/HDD etc etc.
After it will completes the discovery, it will create a automatic layout map, Something similar to below
image.
If you are unable to see any PC , Try adding few ips manually. If target pc ping/icmp is blocked, then you
wont be able to see any PC in the graphs, so its be er to use another approach /combination on Device
name preferences. Also check your mikrotik / target pc rewall conguration.
The above image looks Pre y much messed up, but you can trim it or adjust it according to your avor :) ,
like the below

HOWTO Show any OID on Device

Some of the examples are taken from the Mikrotik DUDE forum.
Special thanks to Mr. Lebowski
Right click on your device and select APPEARANCE, click on LABEL: and add this OID (For example
only, change the OID as your requirement)
1
NOC Room Temperature : [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.5.0")]
OR
if you want to divide the value to be displayed, use following formula
1
Temperature: [oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.13400.2.62.2.1.2.0")/100]
HOWTO Remote Shutdown any PC using DUDE Tools

(generally for AD environment)
Open Dude console, from left menu, goto tools, and click on plus sign + to add new tool,the following

Function.
Name:
drivec
Code :if(array_size(oid_column(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6,10,5)),round((oid(1.3.6.1.2.1.

Unit: %
Now add this probe in target windows device in service section. Thats it. Now if the C: Drive goes above
85%, it will alert, you can tag voice/visual/email/sms alert with it. I use VOICE alert :D
NOTE: The OID for the C: drive can be dierent on your system , it depends on the drives you have in
your system, for example I used the 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1 , but you may have 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2 , so its
be er to check it in snmp section of device properties.

Specific Digit/% like NOC room temperature
If you want to monitor specic OID result and if it gets below or above your pre-dened number, it
should alert, Use the below probe (I used this probe to monitor my data center room temperature using
temperature device, if the temperature goes above 25, it alerts using sms/voice alert)
