How to monitor switch ports via The Dude Monitoring? I want to see which port goes offline like how i monitor the devices via "The Dude Monitoring". Is there other freeware that monitors multiple switch ports in real time?

No idea. Most because that is not dead?

Set your switch to use syslog and capture to Graylog, and you could also integrate prtg for fun. Ideally, you want a SDN, like Ubiquiti.

OP wants to see what ports are going offline. My Ubiquiti system tells me that. It is a Software Defined Network (SDN). Do you see where I'm going with this? Did you look at the mp4 that I linked?

Ah, but it's that it is Ubiquiti, not SDN, that does that. It's that he would want a monitored system like Ubiquiti. ZeroTier is a more traditional SDN and would not in any way do what he wants. SDN is a red herring here. It's Ubiquiti itself that is what matters.

OK good, I wasn't loosing my mind, at least not in this case.
SDN has nothing to do with the OPs desires here.I'm also not sure how the video helps the OP get their desire - monitoring of a port going offline - I mean sure, if he has his phone he can see a port is offline, but I'm guessing what they really want is a logging system to log this - and possibly send him an email alert.

I suppose that's true. There are different levels of a software defined network and a ZeroTier or Silver Peak would be at a level that's too high to see ports, while a smaller Ubiquiti system definitely looks at ports. I think Meraki hardware & software shows the same thing, and I know they really defined the SDN space for site management. By definition, however, they're all SDNs. The days of using a command line to add a switch, define a vlan, or extend your footprint in to a new building are done, except for troubleshooting.
