Re: Unimus as NCM (Network Configuration Management) Tool

[Tim Požar via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

For backup and version control (e.g., git), I use Oxidize.  It supports 
a bunch of different vendors, so long as there is a CLI. Writing scripts 
for new vendors is very simple.

Oxidized can run on its own or get fed by something like LibreNMS so as 
you add devices for monitoring, Oxidize will pick up the new devices. 
Very handy to track changes that get pushed out. And track down who did 
what to screw up your network.
