Configuration Management?

[leens]

Hi,

I'm currently testing nagios XI and I'm looking if there is a configuration management module for take and save config on router by example. Compare if there is changement.... Do some one have idea?

thanks in advance

Nagios XI has a configuration wizard for monitoring switches and routers, that's the fastest way to get a set of working configurations set up for a router. You can access this wizard from the Configure->Run The Monitoring Wizard and select the "Network Switch / Router" wizard.

Thanks... but my question is can we save the startup configuration of our switch/router in file? by example take backup of the startup configuration of all host every night.

I guess I'm not completely clear on what you're asking. What is the "startup configuration" that you're referring to?

it's the configuration of a router. His interface,..... If the router is down we can get this configuration and put on another router to go back

There isn't anything "out of the box" for this, but I did find one community contributed plugin for this sort of check, or you could write your own. The one I found on the Exchange is http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ig/details. If you want to write your own, you would just need to find out what the process would be for remotely dumping the config with your particular hardware (SSH? Telnet? The exact commands? etc.), and the rest is pretty easy to put together.
