Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Need your support. We have implemented Nagios in our environment to Monitor our network devices and its working great.
I need some help with getting my devices configuration backup. Can you please assist me how can i achieve this.
We have 27 Cisco Switches
4 Cisco Router.
2 Ruckus Wireless Controllers.

Thanks in advance.

What precisely do you mean by backup? If you just want to copy the .../nagios/etc/ directory it should be a complete config backup as far as host/service/object configs go.

Hi Tmcdonald,

Thanks for your reply. I want to take the running configuration backup for my Cisco Devices.

Though I have configured the Kron for the same in Cisco Device and its working fine but would like to know if there is any other way i can take the device configuration using nagios.

Thanks in Advance.

Are you talking about the Cisco router's IOS config? Nagios is a monitoring solution, not really a backup solution. While it could technically be done using event handlers, or really just a script that is run as a check, this isn't something I would imagine there to be an existing solution for. You would need to script this out yourself.
