Pitch
- automatically adds/removes threads to meet configured retrieval interval
- restful API to move node immediately to head-of-queue (GET/POST /node/next/[NODE])
- syslog udp+file example to catch config change event (ios/junos) and trigger config fetch
- will signal ios/junos user who made change, which output module can (git does) use (via POST)
- 'git blame' will show for each line who and when the change was made
- restful API to reload list of nodes (GET /reload)
- restful API to fetch configurations (/node/fetch/[NODE] or /node/fetch/group/[NODE])
- restful API to show list of nodes (GET /nodes)
Install
- early days, but try:
- apt-get install ruby ruby-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev
- gem install oxidized
- gem install oxidized-script oxidized-web # if you don't install oxidized-web, make sure you remove "rest" from your config
- oxidized
- vi ~/.config/oxidized/config
- (maybe point to your rancid/router.db or copy it there)
- oxidized
API
Input
- gets config from nodes
- must implement 'connect', 'get', 'cmd'
- 'ssh' and 'telnet' implemented
Output
- stores config
- must implement 'store' (may implement 'fetch')
- 'git' and 'file' (store as flat ascii) implemented
Source
- gets list of nodes to poll
- must implement 'load'
- source can have 'name', 'model', 'group', 'username', 'password', 'input', 'output', 'prompt'
- name - name of the devices
- model - model to use ios/junos/xyz, model is loaded dynamically when needed (Also default in config file)
- input - method to acquire config, loaded dynamically as needed (Also default in config file)
- output - method to store config, loaded dynamically as needed (Also default in config file)
- prompt - prompt used for node (Also default in config file, can be specified in model too)
- 'sql' and 'csv' (supports any format with single entry per line, like router.db)
Model
- lists commands to gather from given device model
- can use 'cmd', 'prompt', 'comment', 'cfg'
- cfg is executed in input/output/source context
- cmd is executed in instance of model
- 'junos', 'ios', 'ironware' and 'powerconnect' implemented

Configuration I use in one environment
---
username: LANA
password: LANAAAAAAA
output:
default: git
git:
user: Oxidized
email: [email protected]
repo: "/usr/local/lan/oxidized.git"
source:
default: sql
sql:
adapter: sqlite
file: "/usr/local/lan/corona.db"
table: device
map:
name: ptr
model: model
Configuration you end up after first run
If you don't configure output and source, it'll further fill them with example configs for your chosen output/source in subsequent runs

Output and Source could be:

source:
default: csv
csv:

delimiter: !ruby/regexp /:/
map:
name: 0
model: 1
which reads nodes from rancid compatible router.db maps their model names to model names oxidized expects, stores config in git, will try ssh first then telnet, wont crash on changed ssh keys.
Hopefully most of them are obvious, log is ignored if Syslog::Logger exists (>=2.0) and syslog is used instead.
System wide configurations can be stored in /etc/oxidized/config, this might be useful for storing for example source information, if many users are using oxs/Oxidized::Script, which would allow user specific config only to include username+password.
