A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: about 2 years ago
If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago
Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: over 2 years ago
At first I thought this was Glances[0]; a python-based htop alternative that has some incredibly useful outputs (like statsd, influxdb etc;) [0]: https://nicolargo.github.io/glances/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Wanting to get Glances installed on OPNsense for its integration into homepage. Source: 8 months ago
I'm looking for a web app having a UI to monitor system resources and processes (similar to Glances) docker containers (similar to Portainer) and that allows me to manually check and update containers (similar to WatchTower). It would be best if it's also installable via Docker itself! Source: over 1 year ago
Glances is easy to setup. I haven't tried netdata but it seems more powerful/complex. Source: over 1 year ago
Htop is powerful, but considered old-school, the cool kids use glances, netdata or bpytop now. Source: over 1 year ago
