Store/backp the Monitored Device Configuration with NagiosXI

Post by network2016 »

Hi ALL,

I am looking for a solution for storing Device configuration[for ex. network switch monitored by NagiosXI] ,into NagiosXI database or somewhere where Nagios can extract it and restore on new device added in the network or removing the configuration on any switch. Basically It should backup and restore device configuration in any format [images,database or config files].

My requirements

1 Nagios should be able to store or backup the monitored device configuration in nagios database.
2 Nagios can restore the configuration on devices
3 Also able to sync the configuration on regular interval from devices and restore on demand


Please advice is there any plugin or method or link to achieve the above query

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

This isn't really what Nagios as a platform was designed for. It's certainly something you could integrate with Nagios fairly easily, but at least 90% of the work would have to come in the form of a custom plugin that handles all the wrangling of your device configurations. Actions like pulling the device's configuration, saving it, restoring it, etc is not a feature native to Nagios Core or Nagios XI.
