Automatic Backups Upon Changes

Device configurations are normally backed up one per day according to a schedule. However, it might be very useful to trigger an automatic configuration backup right after some changes to configuration has been made. In this case Iotellect Network Manager will provide fully detailed history of all configuration changes.

This is technically possible for devices that can send SNMP Traps, Syslog messages or other notifications to inform about their configuration changes. A server alert should be configured to listen to those configuration change notifications and execute Backup Configuration automatic corrective action when a notification is received.

Configuration and Compliance module of Iotellect Network Manager includes a Router Configuration Changed alert. This alert reacts to configuration change notifications sent by Cisco devices via SNMP traps. Once such a notification is received, the system attempts to backup source device's configuration.

Router Configuration Changed alert can be easily cloned and adopted to other types of devices that support asynchronous configuration change notifications.
