<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the implementation of The Dude application as a monitoring system for network devices and connectivity on a fiber optic infrastructure at the Department of Communication, Informatics, and Statistics (Diskominfo) of Enrekang Regency, to identify its capability in detecting network faults and displaying device status in real time, and to evaluate its effectiveness in supporting network monitoring and management. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The research participants consisted of network administrators and technical staff directly involved in operating The Dude application. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that The Dude was successfully implemented as a monitoring system for network devices and connectivity on the fiber optic infrastructure, covering 32 interconnected network devices. The application was able to display network topology, connectivity status, monitoring services, and device information in a centralized interface. Observation results indicated that 23 devices were in the up condition, 3 devices were partially down, and 6 devices were down. In addition, The Dude detected network faults in real time through green, red, and green-red status indicators and stored fault history using the Outages feature. Interview results showed that network administrators were able to identify network faults immediately, while the response time for handling faults after detection was approximately 30 minutes, depending on field conditions and operational procedures. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of The Dude effectively supports the monitoring and management of network devices and connectivity on the fiber optic infrastructure at Diskominfo Enrekang Regency by providing real-time network information, clear network topology visualization, and facilitating faster identification and handling of network faults.]]>
