opennetadmin / cfg_archive Goto Github PK

Not that I dont love maintaining code and such but hey, if there is better maintained tool to leverage, great! The https://github.com/ytti/oxidized project looks to be pretty well done and seems to cover most of the things I care about.

Check into viability of using it as the configuration archive method and integrate ONA to it using its API.

There may be a few areas to tweak and or give PRs for to mesh up with my desires and how I use archives.

Things to consider:

• password management
• user management
• host lists based on ONA
• snmptrap based triggers
• other methods of triggering (touching a file)
• other methods of loading into the system.. direct file, post to endpoint etc
• git as a backend
• types
• 'hiding'/ deleting text from the config.. seems to be there, how is it done?
• is there an untouched version of the config that can be used for restore?
• other security implications... encryption, ssl, blah d blah

@ytti Cool stuff by the way, hopefully I find time to dig in.

When an item that gets replaced with a hidden value such as a community string changes, then the config diff email does not indicate that change. Investigate how the diff can be made first and then possibly hide sensitive info afterwards.

I just fumbled around trying to install this plugin.

The error was telling me I didn't have DCM.PL installed, but the 'help' was pointing to:

I found out the right place to get it was here:
