Oxidized is a network device configuration backup tool.
It’s billed as a replacement for RANCID.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Automatically adds/removes threads to meet configured retrieval interval.
- Restful API to a move node immediately to head-of-queue (GET/POST /node/next/[NODE]).
- Syslog udp+file example to catch config change events (IOS/JunOS) and trigger a config fetch:
- Will signal which IOS/JunOS user made the change, can then be used by output modules (via POST).
- The git output module uses this info – ‘git blame’ will show who changed each line, and when.
- Restful API to reload list of nodes (GET /reload).
- Restful API to fetch configurations (/node/fetch/[NODE] or /node/fetch/group/[NODE]).
- Restful API to show list of nodes (GET /nodes).
