The Dude is a free application by MikroTik, which can dramatically improve the way you manage your network for Windows PC.

It will automatically scan all devices within specified subnets, draw and layout a map of your networks, monitor services of your devices and execute actions based on device state changes.

Not only can you monitor your devices, but you can also manage them. Mass upgrade RouterOS devices, configure them right from within The Dude interface, run network monitoring tools, etc.
