Hello everyone,
I've implemented the RANCID integration feature, which has been working quite well over the past week. I'm very excited to have config diffs on the same page as the health of each device. It's little features like this that are allowing us to leverage Observium over other monitoring platforms.
That said, I was curious about a related Observium feature request. Would it be possible to configure a RANCID on/off switch on the device settings page?
Please allow me to clarify this further. When I run generate-rancid.php, It's going to generate a router.db for all of the devices listed within observium. While this is amazing and extremely useful, not all devices within Observium need to be added to this list.
My idea is to add a switch that determines whether the device will be added to the router.db. That way, when our CRON job runs each night to update router.db, it only does so for the devices we know RANCID can log into.
Again, this is just an idea I wanted to share. If you feel there is something I could do to get around this, please let me know. As of right now, I generate the new router.db myself and manually remove each device I know shouldn't be listed.
Thanks in advance,
