MIKROTIK DUDE BASIC INSTALLATION GUIDE, yes only basic ~ Article by Syed Jahanzaib ~

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/agp_lan.png



CNMS - Centralized Network Monitoring & Management System !!! - JZ

Example MAP of my Office LAN



Example MAP of my Office LAN

What is THE DUDE ?Answer is below > As Mikrotik Wiki defines:

The Dude is a free Monitoring application by MikroTik, which can dramatically improve the way you manage/monitor your networkenvironment.It will automatically scan all devices within specified subnets, Draw and Layout a map of your networks, monitor services of your devicesand execute actions based on device state changes.

Some customized probes used in this map:

Voice / Speak Alert on various target / devices down/up eventsNOC 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 customizedscripts *UPS Load / Voltages / UPS Internal TemperatureIBM Lotus Number of Mail Waiting / DB Connected Users / Availability IndexHP Printers Toner Remaining in %No. of Connected Users on each A.PDisk Free/Total Statics, Alerts when Specified partition goes above 90%Disk Read/Write Monitoring / AlertHigh Memory Monitoring AlertWindows Service Monitor on SAP ServersCisco ASA / Switches CPU Load/ Up‑time / TemperatureCisco Access Point Active Connected UsersAlerts for Lotus Domino / SAP Servrs Service alert , for example if server is on but specific service is downWireless Link Usage MonitoringInternet / 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.

Mikrotik’s “The DUDE” LIVE Monitoring System , It shows Live View of all devices and server’s on screen, Auto Refreshes at definedintervals,

GREEN icon shows target is Active & Healthy,



GREEN icon shows target is Active & Healthy,ORANGE shows one or more probes failed to poll query any specific counter/oid,RED means the target device is not reachable via network or powered off.

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 VisualAlert, Email or SMS. or if D: drive space on mail server goes above 80% it will alert me, If a targeted service on specific server stop, itvisually 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 Ihave added some customize tools/scripts to run on target device using custom command , added in tool menu.

We call it CNMS, Centralized Network Monitoring SystemThanks to DUDE

You can Install the DUDE on your Windows PC , OR you can also install it on your Mikrotik x86/RouterBoard.

First Download ‘The Dude’ from

For Windows PC, Get the The Dude for Windows

After download simply execute the .exe file and it will install it just like any other simple application.If you have install it on PC, you canstart by going to START / Programs / The due.

1 http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php

1 http://download.mikrotik.com/dude-install-3.6.exe

http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php

http://download.mikrotik.com/dude-install-3.6.exe



For Mikrotik ROUTERBOARD (Hardware Version), First Get the NPK package,

Download the .npk package for mikrotik,

(Note: Select the ver accordingly.)

After downloading .npk, upload it to Mikrotik Files section and reboot the Mikrotik, It will automatically add the The Dude package in itbefore rebooting. Follow the image below.

After installation, Both management is done in a same manner.You access the DUDE installed on Mikrotik by using your windows base

1 http://download.mikrotik.com/dude-3.6.npk

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/upload-ddue-npk-mikroitk.png

http://download.mikrotik.com/dude-3.6.npk



After installation, Both management is done in a same manner.You access the DUDE installed on Mikrotik by using your windows basedude 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, first install the dude on your windows pc, then using it, you can connect to Mirkotik’s 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 = adminPassword = 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 createyour own desired network MAP once you understand HOW things works in dude.

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dude-first-login-1.png



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/Memory/HDD etc etc.

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dude-discovery-map.png



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 won’t be able to see any PC inthe graphs, so its better to use another approach /combination on “Device name preferences”. Also check your mikrotik / target pc firewallconfiguration.

The above image looks Pretty much messed up, but you can trim it or adjust it according to your flavor , like the below

The DUDE tip’s n tricks

Howto ADD Machines/Devices Manually (Without Auto Discovery Mode)

Sometimes You would like to add only few targeted devices / computers on your network to be monitored via dude.To do so follow the instructions showed in the below screenshots.

On the Network MAP screen, Click on + sign, then select Device. Now enter IP address of your target device and click NEXT.



Now select DISCOVER to check what services target device is offering for monitoring.

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dude-manuall-entry-1.png



Now add another device as shown in above images.

Now add Network ICON so that we can connect both devices for link monitoring.

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dude-manuall-entry-2.png



Now the real part, Again Click on + sign and click LINK to create link between device and network icon.

Howto Change Background Image

You can change background image by going to




HOWTO ENABLE WEB BASE ACCESS

You can also View/Controll Dude via web browser. This is convenient if you have fix public ip on your mikrotik / pc where due is hosted,you can monitor your network all over globe using browser only.First you have to enable Web Service in DUDE.

https://aacable.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dude-change-image.png



Make sure there is no other web server running on your pc/mikrotik. If so, please change the port in above image to something different ,example 1234. Now open your browser and point it to your dude server.

[sourcode]

http://192.168.2.6

[/sourcecode]It will ask id password, Enter your credentials. (First time dude installation have no password, just enter use admin without anypassword, and then you can change password from ADMIN section.Now click on MAPS > Network Map & you will be redirected to your network map. See the below image.

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 yourrequirement)

OR

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

HOWTO Remote Shutdown any PC using DUDE Tools (generally for ADenvironment)

Open Dude console, from left menu, goto tools, and click on plus sign + to add new tool,the following

I will add more snaps and info of some live networks where I deployed this beautiful tool.

HOWTO add probe for disk like C: & D:

To monitor C: or D: drive for space alert, First create Function, then create probe and use the function. then add this probe to device

Now create new Probe.

Now add this probe in target windows device in service section. That’s it. Now if the C: Drive goes above 85%, it will alert, you can tagvoice/visual/email/sms alert with it. I use VOICE alert NOTE: The OID for the C: drive can be different 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 better to check it in snmp section of device properties.

12345

Function. Name: drivecCode :if(array_size(oid_column(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6,10,5)),round((oid(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1,10,5)/oid(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1,10,5))*100),False)

123456

Name:Low Space in C Drive Type: Function Available:drivec()False Error:if(drivec()False,if(drivec() < 85, , concatenate(Warning: Drive C = , drivec(), %)), Failed to read Drive C the server might be down) Value:drivec() Unit: %



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 better to check it in snmp section of device properties.

HOWTO show Disk Read & Write Time

You have to first install snmptools and add disk counters in the ini file in order to retrieve the disk read write time counters.e.g:https://aacable.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/using‑snmptools‑to‑monitor‑disk‑read‑write‑time‑win2008‑6432‑bit/

Disk Read / Write Time C: & D: [string_substring(oid(“1.3.6.1.4.1.15.1”),0,3)] / [string_substring(oid(“1.3.6.1.4.1.15.2”),0,3)]

HOWTO check if specific program is running or not [using taskmgr list]

Create New Probe and tag it with your required target device.

123

Probe Name: lotus_notes_test Type: Function Available: if(array_find(oid_column(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2), notes2.exe)0, 1, -1)

Error: if(array_find(oid_column(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2), notes2.exe)0, , notes2.exe not detected by SNMP probe)Notes not running on zaib pc)

https://aacable.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/using-snmptools-to-monitor-disk-read-write-time-win2008-6432-bit/



Note: Replace notes2.exe with your require files name you want to monitor. The name is case‑sensitive! Write the file name the same asyou see it in the Windows Task Manager List.

HOWTO check if specific SERVICE is running or not

Create New Probe and tag it with your required target device.

Note: Replace Telnet with the service name your want to monitor. Type the full name of the service you see in the services console. Thename may be case‑sensitive! Write the file name the same as you see it in the Services Console.

HOWTO Create Alert if specific OID result gets below Specific Digit/% likeNOC room temperature

If you want to monitor specific OID result and if it gets below or above your pre‑defined number, it should alert, Use the below probe (Iused this probe to monitor my data center room temperature using temperature device, if the temperature goes above 25, it alerts usingsms/voice alert)

and if you want to divide the snmp result by 100 , then you have to first create function like following.

123456

Name: NOC Room Temperature Alert Type: Function Available: if(oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.5.0")0, 1, -1) Available: if(oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.5.0")25, "", "NOC Room Temp Over 25 / SJz") Value: 1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.5.0 Unit: C

then create a probe with following data.

12345

Name: NOC Room TempType Function:Agent: DefaultAvailable: getTemperature()Error: if(getTemperature()<25, "", "NOC Room Temperature above 25 c, Please check A.C")

HOWTO show ping result on device label

If you want to show the ping result on your device label, Right click on device , select appearance, in Lablel, paste the following code:

[array_element(ping(device_property(“FirstAddress”)),0)] ms

567

Error: if(getTemperature()<25, "", "NOC Room Temperature above 25 c, Please check A.C")Value: getTemperature()Unit: C

HOWTO Check for High Delay via Ping Function/Probe

If you want to monitor any device ping delay ms, for example if ping ms delay to any internet link increases above 600 ms , then it shouldalert, use the following function/probe.

First add new function

Now create probe and tag the ping_rtt function in it.

Now tag it with the device in services section.

1234

Function: Name: ping_rtt Description: Returns the round-trip time of a ping request to the FirstAddres of a device Code: round(array_element(ping(device_property("FirstAddress")), 0))

123456

Probe Name: Ping Delay Type: Function Available: and(device_property("FirstAddress") <> "", ping_rtt()>-1) Error: if(and(ping_rtt()>-1, ping_rtt()<200), "", if(ping_rtt()>-1, concatenate("Latency above 200ms with ", ping_rtt(), "ms"), "down")) Value: ping_rtt() Unit: ms

2. First thing first, Are you using it on Mikrotik ?Also it Depends on how your mikrotik/firewall is configured.

Check with your local config. Try adding few ips one by one. If user end ping/icmp is blocked, then you won’t be able to see any PC inthe graphs, so its better to use another approach /combination on “Device name preferences”.

Reply5. Dear Jehanzeb !

Thanks for your all time support and such a great blog where we can find almost every solution to our needs. I have also configuredthe DUDE as per your directions but the issue is this that when i open it in IE 9 (Win 7) or Google Chrome (Win 7) it is displayingeverything but no world MAP. Do i need to activate the world map individually?

Comment by Qamar — July 6, 2012 @ 9:04 PM

ReplyI haven’t faced this issued. Where your map image file is residing, it must be uploaded by dude in its folder.

Reply9. can I see my employee’s bandwidth uses …. actually some of my employee download many things and it affect on my network….. plztell me how to control their bandwidth

Comment by NISHAT — September 11, 2012 @ 10:01 AM

ReplyEasiest way is to install a RB750 between your internet and your computers on your network. Map every IP adress in the simplequeues, and set bandwidth limits there. this way you could see what the usage is, and limit them per connection, without effectingyour intra network speed. some other forums have scripts to help you set up a daily export method to mail for a report on theusage.

Reply10. Hi, I saw on the graph you control vmware server. Could you tell us how to do to control a VMWare server from The Dude? thank you

very much.

Comment by Luciano — December 6, 2012 @ 4:50 PM

ReplyHmm Actually You can’t CONTROL the Vmware Server from the DUDE, just few functions that can be performed via usingcustom script. for example batch file that can do ssh to VM and do specific task like power OFF, or POWER ON, or stuff like thiswhich can done using CLI. and it can tagged with Dude Action using Right click on that particular server.What specific functions you want to control ?

12. I also struggle with the “parse failed” error message. *bump*

Comment by Stian Johansen — April 2, 2013 @ 4:44 PM

ReplyExactly where you are getting this error ? post details. Parse error usually comes when dude doesn’t understand the code yourenter in create agent/probe , sytanx mistakes are common issues

Comment by Syed Jahanzaib / Pinochio~:) — April 3, 2013 @ 9:15 AM

ReplyHi,I also struggle with the “parse failed” error message. I use the latest version 4.0Beta

First i’d like to test it with the notepad.exe so i created this probe:Type: functionAvailable: if(array_find(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2″),”NOTEPAD.EXE”)>0, 1, ‑1)Error: if(array_find(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2″),”NOTEPAD.EXE”)>0, “”, “NOTEPAD.EXE not detected by SNMPprobe”)Value: 1Unit: runningRate: none

Then, I got “parse failed” error message.

Then, I got “parse failed” error message.

I tried to use “SNMPB”, “PowerSNMP Free Manager” to get the information “1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2”, it can’t get any information.But I can get the information of “1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0”.

I don’t know if I miss something there and which I set wrong in code.

Please advise me and thank you in advance.

Comment by Bruce — October 14, 2014 @ 5:48 AM

Sorry, I have worked it out.The original code is from another site and its quotation marks are different so that it failed. While I use your code, it is alsofailed, too.for example:Your is: if(array_find(oid_column(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2), notes2.exe)0, 1, ‑1)After I use : if(array_find(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2”), “notes2.exe”)>0, 1, ‑1)

After correcting, I get it to work.

Thank you for your nice article that I have not seen before.

May I have your contact mail?


Actually some times wordpress coding sucks and they mess with many special characters thats why codes gets messed up. I willcheck the coding again in free time and correct it if any error is in there,.

Comment by Syed Jahanzaib / Pinochio~:) — October 14, 2014 @ 8:20 AM

Thank you for your soon reply. I appreciate it. I finally know how to setup and config the Dude. By the way, how I set thefunction to restart the service while it failed?

Please advise me and thank you in advance.






You can use tool/function combination also and tag it with notification. you can use external syslog server also which can actupon the failure. or do ssh to remote pc and restart the service.

Reply16. Hi Syed, I am a newb with The Dude and I am already pretty discouraged. I just cannot get The Dude to map out my network. I have

tried all kinds of stuff without success. Is the fact that I still have Network Magic, which I am looking to replace by The Dude, installedon my computers could be blocking The Dude from drawing my network map.

specific probe to allow this function?

Comment by Robert Bonds — February 13, 2014 @ 1:33 AM

ReplyMikrotik DUDE is not designed to monitor internet bandwidth for users. Mikrotik DUDE works with SNMP , so monitoringbandwidth usage for each user with SNMP would be a overhead management. You can monitor server’s / devices / routers typeperipheral more efficiently with the dude.

Reply20. what does it mean when a link between two devices turns RED COLOUR?

Comment by pascal — May 9, 2014 @ 6:48 PM

Replyit means the data transfer is in progress between two devices, or you can adjust the speed for that link, for example 10 mb, if thespeed comes near or above 10 mb, the link will become RED, indicating load conditions visually, useful for monitoring purposes.
