The Dude, Still use it? Looking for NM with live map bandwidth.

[DCUK6]

Hi All,

 

Is anyone using the pre nerfed version of The Dude Beta 4?

 

Ive used previously and really liked the live map where you can create links and see the bandwidth being used between devices.

 

This is a bit of a old bit of software now and try not to use old versions encase of security risks.

 

Does anyone still use The Dude?

ive tried a few other products but none offer this live map from what i can see.

 

If you know of other products, please let me know.

I liked how Spiceworks monitor was heading but they seem to be doing the "Jack of all trades, master of none." thing at the minute where they are trying to work on to many projects, network monitor was rolled back as they had to many bugs.

We use Nagios (the Check_MK implementation) to monitor all our network devices and servers, which includes NagVis for creating maps. It also includes historical graphing, which I've generally found to be more useful than live data. It's quite a bit of work (!), but in theory you could have maps showing bandwidth use between devices. Each data point is updated roughly once per minute.

Still using the dude here. It monitors our core network, access points, servers and printers. Very handy.

Thanks both,

have used Fully Automated Nagios previously, worked quote well but moved over to spiceworks eventually as it wasnt so much of a pain.

Not got the patience for Nagios at the minute.

 

May see if the dude works on a test setup.

do you need something like that?
