FEATURES

Everything you need to manage your fleet

From device discovery to firmware upgrades, The Other Dude gives you complete control over your MikroTik infrastructure.

Fleet Management

Dashboard with real-time status, virtual-scrolled fleet table, subnet scanning, and per-device detail pages with live metrics.

Configuration

Browse and edit RouterOS config in real-time. Two-phase push with panic-revert ensures you never brick a remote device. Batch templates for fleet-wide changes.

Monitoring

Real-time CPU, memory, and traffic via SSE. Threshold-based alerts with email, webhook, Slack, and webhook push notifications. Interactive topology map.

Zero-Knowledge Security

1Password-style SRP-6a auth — the server never sees your password. Per-tenant envelope encryption via OpenBao Transit. Internal CA for device TLS.

Multi-Tenant

PostgreSQL Row-Level Security isolates tenants at the database layer. RBAC with four roles. API keys for automation.

Operations

Firmware management, PDF reports, audit trail, maintenance windows, config backup with git-backed version history and diff.

Your MikroTik devices
  • Three-service stack: React frontend, Python API, Go poller — each independently scalable
  • PostgreSQL RLS enforces tenant isolation at the database layer, not the application layer
  • NATS JetStream delivers real-time events from poller to frontend via SSE
  • OpenBao Transit provides per-tenant envelope encryption for zero-knowledge credential storage
