O que o DumbMonit vigia
Keep every version of the configuration of a switch, a router or a firewall, see what changed line by line, and be told when it changes, the way Oxidized or RANCID do. DumbMonit reads the configuration over SSH (or through the device's API for OPNsense and PAN-OS), keeps a new version only when the configuration really changed, and stores each version compressed and encrypted.

Passos de configuração: Back up a device configuration
Choose the device model in "Device model": it decides the commands sent, and nothing else is ever run on the device.
Create a read-only account on the device that may log in over SSH and show the running configuration.
For OPNsense through its API, create an API key for a user allowed to download backups; for PAN-OS, generate the API key of a read-only role.
The first SSH connection remembers the device's host key: if it ever changes, backups stop and an alert asks you to check it.
Atenção. Configurations hold secrets: they are stored encrypted, shown with their secrets masked, and only an administrator signed in can reveal or download them.
