Opsview 6.8.x End of Support

With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.

The documentation for version 6.8.9 and earlier versions will remain accessible for the time being, but it will no longer be updated or receive backports. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.

Tracking NetAudit changes

Once NetAudit is configured, Opsview Monitor starts backing up your network configuration and the information becomes available in the Monitoring > NetAudit page.

Note

The data on this page is then updated every 4 hours.

To view the details of a NetAudit-enabled Host, go to the Monitoring > NetAudit page. The following screen is displayed:

Click on rancid to display the list of Hosts that have NetAudit enabled (and are thus having their configuration files backed up):

Click on the hostname or IP address to view the configuration file:

This will display the latest whole configuration file for the host. Keep in mind that the collection job is run every 4 hours, therefore you may not see the up-to-date information immediately.

To view historical versions, use the arrows in the toolbar above the display area. You can also compare with the previous configuration file to see what has changed, by clicking the Compare with Previous button. This will enable a screen with both versions in parallel, highlighting the changes:

Note

As Opsview Monitor is only used to help you see changes, as an audit functionality, if you locate a change that is not adequate, you will need to manually correct the configuration file for the device.
