Netshot on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

Netshot is an open source network configuration and compliance management platform. It periodically connects to your network devices to back up their running configurations, keeps a full history so you can diff and audit every change, maintains a live inventory of hardware and software, and continuously checks each device against configuration and software version compliance rules. It ships more than a hundred device drivers covering Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Fortinet, HPE, Nokia and many other vendors, and exposes every feature through a REST API so it plugs into automation and change workflows.

It suits network and operations teams who need a single source of truth for device configurations and want to prove compliance and catch unauthorised or risky changes: scheduled configuration backups with change detection from Syslog and SNMP traps, software and configuration compliance reporting for audits, and configuration diffing and rollback references across a multi vendor estate.

Common uses

• Scheduled multi vendor configuration backups with change detection from Syslog and SNMP traps and full configuration history
• Software version and configuration compliance reporting to enforce standards and evidence audits across the estate
• Configuration diffing, inventory and REST API driven automation for network change workflows
