Winbox 3.7 Free System Monitoring

Now on the working PC (if these are Windows), we set the same file The Dude only to remove the checkbox from the Server Files item if Linux is installed using Wine and run the client.

Setting the auto unit devices Details Created 05142013 23:13 Updated 04152014 04:23 Views: 46991 Free monitoring system The Dude from Mikrotik.

I do not know what principle the developers called the monitoring system, but apparently wanted to bring a little humor, which would not be so boring.

I want to immediately warn the copy-pasters and plagiarists, when copying and placing these materials, reference to the author and the site, mandatory.

For lazy, author Vitaly (obsessions) - Tranz-it.net.

Lets start disassembled in more detail.

Since I am a remote company employee, and maintain remote servers and systems, and I do not have direct physical contact with the equipment, I needed a monitoring system.

Chose in many criteria: 1.

Free, i.e. Open Source.

The ability to deploy various systems those.

Monitoring based on standard tools all OS families (SNMP, TCP, etc.) without the use of agents 12.

The main thing -u003e network maps with the ability to manually build cards.

Main -u003e Running programs on a remote machine with transmission of contextual parameters 16.

Use standard software.

Thus, monitoring systems are such as Nagios, Cacti, Zabbix discarded immediately for many reasons, I do not even want to list.

For a very long time I went through a bunch of software, and even feared and even terribly paid, but it did not fit me, as it did not want to pay, because we need to get rid of small blood.

And when I started using the Mikrotik equipment, and put myself at home instead of Draytek, Mikrotik RB800 816, I came across a beautiful thing, it free system Monitoring The Dude.

I was very surprised that the company provides this development for free (the 1st item is satisfied).

Many will wipe the mud and say that the dude garbage and so on, the taste and color of the comrade is not.

The system can be installed both on Linux and on Windows, but best this system Works under its OS - Routeros.

The monitoring system itself for different platforms can be downloaded from the official site of Mikrotik.com.

Also on the official website you can try the demo mode, according to the link above, the IP address is specified, after downloading and installing The Dudee (it is both the client and the server, i.e.

Windows and Linux ) You can connect and watch the test grid using the Admin login and without a password.

I will describe a little sad experience of installing under Linux and Windows, only briefly, which found shoals and bugs, but maybe it was just me, please do not kick much.

Installation on the axis Windows Server Or Windows XP with a unlocked number of TCP sessions, failed, with an increase in the number of monitoring devices, the stack of sockets was overwhelmed, and the server began to slowly slow down, it was impossible to go on RDP and it all started to reboot, after some time it was repeated.

With Linux, as such, there were no problems, because The Windows and Linux sockets seem to be, but in Linux it works a little friend, and the overflows were not unprecedented, although at large and frequent queries on the TCP IP protocol sockets were overloaded, but it happened very rarely, and helped again a banal reboot of the system.

A minus to everything in Linux monitoring can work through Wine, and is not automatically prescribed to autoload, but with small manipulations you can do it, but it is not to run away from Wine.

Therefore, I still chose the Routeros native system to install the monitoring system, and installed it on virtual virtualBox machine.

After that, through the Winbox graphics utility connected to Routeros.

IP Address (IP -u003e Addresses - ), Gateway (IP -u003e Routes -u003e ), Well, DNS (for oil on local DNS Server m) From offsight Download.npk monitoring system file, in Winbox Open the Files menu item and throw it with drag-and-drop (mouse transfer) after which I restart the system (System -u003e Reboot -u003e Yes) Everything, after rebooting the system, the monitoring system is installed on Routeros.

For Windows Server All trivially, when you definitely indicate the checkbox item Server Files, and everything else is your taste.
