-## Build from Git
-```shell
-git clone https://github.com/ytti/oxidized.git
-cd oxidized/
-gem build *.gemspec
-gem install pkg/*.gem
-```
-
-# Configuration
-
-Oxidized configuration is in YAML format. Configuration files are subsequently sourced from ```/etc/oxidized/config``` then ```~/.config/oxidized/config```. The hashes will be merged, this might be useful for storing source information in a system wide file and user specific configuration in the home directory (to only include a staff specific username and password). Eg. if many users are using ```oxs```, see [Oxidized::Script](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized-script).
-
-It is recommended practice to run Oxidized using its own username. This username can be added using standard command-line tools:
-
-```
-useradd oxidized
-```
-
-It is recommended not to run Oxidized as root.
-
-To initialize a default configuration in your home directory ```~/.config/oxidized/config```, simply run ```oxidized``` once. If you don't further configure anything from the output and source sections, it'll extend the examples on a subsequent ```oxidized``` execution. This is useful to see what options for a specific source or output backend are available.
-
-You can set the env variable `OXIDIZED_HOME` to change its home directory.
-
-```
-OXIDIZED_HOME=/etc/oxidized
-
-$ tree -L 1 /etc/oxidized
-/etc/oxidized/
-├── config
-├── log-router-ssh
-├── log-router-telnet
-├── pid
-├── router.db
-└── repository.git
-```
-
-## Source
-
-Oxidized supports ```CSV```, ```SQLite``` and ```HTTP``` as source backends. The CSV backend reads nodes from a rancid compatible router.db file. The SQLite backend will fire queries against a database and map certain fields to model items. The HTTP backend will fire queries against a http/https url. Take a look at the [Cookbook](#cookbook) for more details.
-
-## Outputs
+### FreeBSD
-Possible outputs are either ```file``` or ```git```. The file backend takes a destination directory as argument and will keep a file per device, with most recent running version of a device. The GIT backend (recommended) will initialize an empty GIT repository in the specified path and create a new commit on every configuration change. Take a look at the [Cookbook](#cookbook) for more details.
+[Use RVM to install Ruby v2.1.2](#installing-ruby-212-using-rvm), then install all required packages and gems:
-Maps define how to map a model's fields to model [model fields](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/tree/master/lib/oxidized/model). Most of the settings should be self explanatory, log is ignored if `use_syslog`(requires Ruby >= 2.0) is set to `true`.
-
-First create the directory where the CSV ```output``` is going to store device configs and start Oxidized once.
-```
-mkdir -p ~/.config/oxidized/configs
-oxidized
-```
-
-Now tell Oxidized where it finds a list of network devices to backup configuration from. You can either use CSV or SQLite as source. To create a CSV source add the following snippet:
-
-Note: If gpg is set to anything other than false it will attempt to decrypt the file contents
-```
-source:
- default: csv
- csv:
- file: ~/.config/oxidized/router.db
- delimiter: !ruby/regexp /:/
- gpg: false
- gpg_password: 'password'
- map:
- name: 0
- model: 1
+```shell
+pkg install cmake pkgconf
+gem install oxidized
+gem install oxidized-script oxidized-web
```
-Now lets create a file based device database (you might want to switch to SQLite later on). Put your routers in ```~/.config/oxidized/router.db``` (file format is compatible with rancid). Simply add an item per line:
+Oxidized is also available via [FreeBSD ports](https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203374):
+```shell

-## Cookbook
-### Debugging
-In case a model plugin doesn't work correctly (ios, procurve, etc.), you can enable live debugging of SSH/Telnet sessions. Just add a ```debug``` option containing the value true to the ```input``` section. The log files will be created depending on the parent directory of the logfile option.
-
-The following example will log an active ssh/telnet session ```/home/oxidized/.config/oxidized/log/<IP-Adress>-<PROTOCOL>```. The file will be truncated on each consecutive ssh/telnet session, so you need to put a ```tailf``` or ```tail -f``` on that file!
-
-```
-log: /home/oxidized/.config/oxidized/log
-
-...
-
-input:
- default: ssh, telnet
- debug: true
- ssh:
- secure: false
-```
-
-### Privileged mode
-
-To start privileged mode before pulling the configuration, Oxidized needs to send the enable command. You can globally enable this, by adding the following snippet to the global section of the configuration file.
-
-```
-vars:
- enable: S3cre7
-```
-
-### Removing secrets
-
-To strip out secrets from configurations before storing them, Oxidized needs the the remove_secrets flag. You can globally enable this by adding the following snippet to the global sections of the configuration file.
-
-```
-vars:
- remove_secret: true
-```
-
-Device models can contain substitution filters to remove potentially sensitive data from configs.
-
-As a partial example from ios.rb:
-
-```
- cmd :secret do |cfg|
- cfg.gsub! /^(snmp-server community).*/, '\\1 <configuration removed>'
- (...)
- cfg
- end
-```
-The above strips out snmp community strings from your saved configs.
-
-**NOTE:** Removing secrets reduces the usefulness as a full configuration backup, but it may make sharing configs easier.
-
-### Disabling SSH exec channels
-
-Oxidized uses exec channels to make information extraction simpler, but there are some situations where this doesn't work well, e.g. configuring devices. This feature can be turned off by setting the ```ssh_no_exec```
-variable.
+If you need to use an internal CA (e.g. to connect to an private github instance):
-```
-vars:
- ssh_no_exec: true
-```
-
-### Source: CSV
-
-One line per device, colon seperated. If `ip` isn't present, a DNS lookup will be done against `name`. For large installations, setting `ip` will dramatically reduce startup time.
-
-```
-source:
- default: csv
- csv:
- file: /var/lib/oxidized/router.db
- delimiter: !ruby/regexp /:/
- map:
- name: 0
- ip: 1
- model: 2
- username: 3
- password: 4
- vars_map:
- enable: 5
-```
-
-### SSH Proxy Command
-
-Oxidized can `ssh` through a proxy as well. To do so we just need to set `ssh_proxy` variable.
-
-```
-...
-map:
- name: 0
- model: 1
-vars_map:
- enable: 2
- ssh_proxy: 3
-...
-```
-### Source: SQL
- Oxidized uses the `sequel` ruby gem. You can use a variety of databases that aren't explicitly listed. For more information visit https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel Make sure you have the correct adapter!
-### Source: MYSQL
-
-```sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev```
-
-The values correspond to your fields in the DB such that ip, model, etc are field names in the DB
-
-```
-source:
- default: sql
- sql:
- adapter: mysql2
- database: oxidized
- table: nodes
- username: root
- password: rootpass
- map:
- name: ip
- model: model
- username: username
- password: password
- vars_map:
- enable: enable
-```
-
-### Source: SQLite
-
-One row per device, filtered by hostname.
-
-```
-source:
- default: sql
- sql:
- adapter: sqlite
- database: "/var/lib/oxidized/devices.db"
- table: devices
- map:
- name: fqdn
- model: model
- username: username
- password: password
- vars_map:
- enable: enable
-```
-
-### Source: HTTP
-
-One object per device.
-
-HTTP Supports basic auth, configure the user and pass you want to use under the http: section.
-
-```
-source:
- default: http
- http:
- url: https://url/api
- scheme: https
- delimiter: !ruby/regexp /:/
- user: username
- pass: password
- map:
- name: hostname
- model: os
- username: username
- password: password
- vars_map:
- enable: enable
- headers:
- X-Auth-Token: 'somerandomstring'
-```
-
-You can also pass `secure: false` if you want to disable ssl certificate verification:

-For a single repositories for all devices:
+Install RVM
-``` yaml
-output:
- default: git
- git:
- user: Oxidized
- email: o@example.com
- repo: "/var/lib/oxidized/devices.git"
+```shell
+curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
```
-And for groups repositories:
+Setup RVM environment and compile and install Ruby 2.1.2 and set it as default
-``` yaml
-output:
- default: git
- git:
- user: Oxidized
- email: o@example.com
- repo: "/var/lib/oxidized/git-repos/default.git"
+```shell
+source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
+rvm install 2.1.2
+rvm use --default 2.1.2
```
-Oxidized will create a repository for each group in the same directory as the `default.git`. For
-example:
-
-``` csv
-host1:ios:first
-host2:nxos:second
-```
+## Configuration
-This will generate the following repositories:
+Oxidized configuration is in YAML format. Configuration files are subsequently sourced from `/etc/oxidized/config` then `~/.config/oxidized/config`. The hashes will be merged, this might be useful for storing source information in a system wide file and user specific configuration in the home directory (to only include a staff specific username and password). Eg. if many users are using `oxs`, see [Oxidized::Script](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized-script).
-``` bash
-$ ls /var/lib/oxidized/git-repos
+It is recommended practice to run Oxidized using its own username. This username can be added using standard command-line tools:
-default.git first.git second.git
+```shell
+useradd oxidized
```
-If you would like to use groups and a single repository, you can force this with the `single_repo` config.
+> It is recommended __not__ to run Oxidized as root.
-``` yaml
-output:
- default: git
- git:
- single_repo: true
- repo: "/var/lib/oxidized/devices.git"
+To initialize a default configuration in your home directory `~/.config/oxidized/config`, simply run `oxidized` once. If you don't further configure anything from the output and source sections, it'll extend the examples on a subsequent `oxidized` execution. This is useful to see what options for a specific source or output backend are available.
-```
-
-### Output: Http
+You can set the env variable `OXIDIZED_HOME` to change its home directory.
-POST a config to the specified URL
+```shell
+OXIDIZED_HOME=/etc/oxidized
+$ tree -L 1 /etc/oxidized
+/etc/oxidized/
+├── config
+├── log-router-ssh
+├── log-router-telnet
+├── pid
+├── router.db
+└── repository.git
```
-output:
- default: http
- http:
- user: admin
- password: changeit
- url: "http://192.168.162.50:8080/db/coll"
-```
-
-### Output types
-
-If you prefer to have different outputs in different files and/or directories, you can easily do this by modifying the corresponding model. To change the behaviour for IOS, you would edit `lib/oxidized/model/ios.rb` (run `gem contents oxidized` to find out the full file path).
-
-For example, let's say you want to split out `show version` and `show inventory` into separate files in a directory called `nodiff` which your tools will not send automated diffstats for. You can apply a patch along the lines of
-```
-- cmd 'show version' do |cfg|
-- comment cfg.lines.first
-+ cmd 'show version' do |state|
-+ state.type = 'nodiff'
-+ state
-
-- cmd 'show inventory' do |cfg|
-- comment cfg
-+ cmd 'show inventory' do |state|
-+ state.type = 'nodiff'
-+ state
-+ end
-
-- cmd 'show running-config' do |cfg|
-- cfg = cfg.each_line.to_a[3..-1].join
-- cfg.gsub! /^Current configuration : [^\n]*\n/, ''
-- cfg.sub! /^(ntp clock-period).*/, '! \1'
-- cfg.gsub! /^\ tunnel\ mpls\ traffic-eng\ bandwidth[^\n]*\n*(
-+ cmd 'show running-config' do |state|
-+ state = state.each_line.to_a[3..-1].join
-+ state.gsub! /^Current configuration : [^\n]*\n/, ''
-+ state.sub! /^(ntp clock-period).*/, '! \1'
-+ state.gsub! /^\ tunnel\ mpls\ traffic-eng\ bandwidth[^\n]*\n*(
- (?:\ [^\n]*\n*)*
- tunnel\ mpls\ traffic-eng\ auto-bw)/mx, '\1'
-- cfg
-+ state = Oxidized::String.new state
-+ state.type = 'nodiff'
-+ state
-```
+## Source
-which will result in the following layout
+Oxidized supports [CSV](docs/Configuration.md#source-csv), [SQLite](docs/Configuration.md#source-sqlite), [MySQL](docs/Configuration.md#source-mysql) and [HTTP](docs/Configuration.md#source-http) as source backends. The CSV backend reads nodes from a rancid compatible router.db file. The SQLite and MySQL backends will fire queries against a database and map certain fields to model items. The HTTP backend will fire queries against a http/https url. Take a look at the [Configuration](docs/Configuration.md) for more details.
-```
-diff/$FQDN--show_running_config
-nodiff/$FQDN--show_version
-nodiff/$FQDN--show_inventory
-```
+## Outputs
-### RESTful API and Web Interface
+Possible outputs are either [File](docs/Configuration.md#output-file), [GIT](docs/Configuration.md#output-git), [GIT-Crypt](docs/Configuration.md#output-git-crypt) and [HTTP](docs/Configuration.md#output-http). The file backend takes a destination directory as argument and will keep a file per device, with most recent running version of a device. The GIT backend (recommended) will initialize an empty GIT repository in the specified path and create a new commit on every configuration change. The GIT-Crypt backend will also initialize a GIT repository but every configuration push to it will be encrypted on the fly by using `git-crypt` tool. Take a look at the [Configuration](docs/Configuration.md) for more details.
-The RESTful API and Web Interface is enabled by configuring the `rest:` parameter in the config file. This parameter can optionally contain a relative URI.
+Maps define how to map a model's fields to model [model fields](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/tree/master/lib/oxidized/model). Most of the settings should be self explanatory, log is ignored if `use_syslog`(requires Ruby >= 2.0) is set to `true`.
-```
-# Listen on http://127.0.0.1:8888/
-rest: 127.0.0.1:8888
-```
+First create the directory where the CSV `output` is going to store device configs and start Oxidized once.
+```shell
+mkdir -p ~/.config/oxidized/configs
+oxidized
```
-# Listen on http://10.0.0.1:8000/oxidized/
-rest: 10.0.0.1:8000/oxidized
-```
-
-### Advanced Configuration
-Below is an advanced example configuration. You will be able to (optionally) override options per device. The router.db format used is ```hostname:model:username:password:enable_password```. Hostname and model will be the only required options, all others override the global configuration sections.
+Now tell Oxidized where it finds a list of network devices to backup configuration from. You can either use CSV or SQLite as source. To create a CSV source add the following snippet:
-```
----
-username: oxidized
-password: S3cr3tx
-model: junos
-interval: 3600
-log: ~/.config/oxidized/log

-### Advanced Group Configuration
-
-For group specific credentials
+Now lets create a file based device database (you might want to switch to SQLite later on). Put your routers in `~/.config/oxidized/router.db` (file format is compatible with rancid). Simply add an item per line:
+```text
+router01.example.com:ios
+switch01.example.com:procurve
+router02.example.com:ios
```
-groups:
- mikrotik:
- username: admin

-```
-and add group mapping
-```
-map:
- model: 0
- name: 1
- group: 2
-```
-
-# Hooks
-You can define arbitrary number of hooks that subscribe different events. The hook system is modular and different kind of hook types can be enabled.
-
-## Configuration
-Following configuration keys need to be defined for all hooks:
-
- * `events`: which events to subscribe. Needs to be an array. See below for the list of available events.
- * `type`: what hook class to use. See below for the list of available hook types.
-### Events
- * `node_success`: triggered when configuration is succesfully pulled from a node and right before storing the configuration.
- * `node_fail`: triggered after `retries` amount of failed node pulls.
- * `post_store`: triggered after node configuration is stored (this is executed only when the configuration has changed).
+Run `oxidized` again to take the first backups.
-## Hook type: exec
-The `exec` hook type allows users to run an arbitrary shell command or a binary when triggered.
+## Extra
-The command is executed on a separate child process either in synchronous or asynchronous fashion. Non-zero exit values cause errors to be logged. STDOUT and STDERR are currently not collected.
+### Ubuntu SystemV init setup
-Command is executed with the following environment:
-```
-OX_EVENT
-OX_NODE_NAME
-OX_NODE_FROM
-OX_NODE_MSG
-OX_NODE_GROUP
-OX_JOB_STATUS
-OX_JOB_TIME
-OX_REPO_COMMITREF
-OX_REPO_NAME
-```
-
-Exec hook recognizes following configuration keys:
-
- * `timeout`: hard timeout for the command execution. SIGTERM will be sent to the child process after the timeout has elapsed. Default: 60
- * `async`: influences whether main thread will wait for the command execution. Set this true for long running commands so node pull is not blocked. Default: false
- * `cmd`: command to run.
+The init script assumes that you have a used named 'oxidized' and that oxidized is in one of the following paths:
-
-## Hook configuration example
-```
-hooks:
- name_for_example_hook1:
- type: exec
- events: [node_success]
- cmd: 'echo "Node success $OX_NODE_NAME" >> /tmp/ox_node_success.log'
- name_for_example_hook2:
- type: exec
- events: [post_store, node_fail]
- cmd: 'echo "Doing long running stuff for $OX_NODE_NAME" >> /tmp/ox_node_stuff.log; sleep 60'
- async: true
- timeout: 120
+```text
+/sbin
+/bin
+/usr/sbin
+/usr/bin
+/usr/local/bin
```
-### githubrepo
-
-This hook configures the repository `remote` and _push_ the code when the specified event is triggerd. If the `username` and `password` are not provided, the `Rugged::Credentials::SshKeyFromAgent` will be used.
-
-`githubrepo` hook recognizes following configuration keys:
+1. Copy init script from extra/ folder to /etc/init.d/oxidized
+2. Setup /var/run/
- * `remote_repo`: the remote repository to be pushed to.
- * `username`: username for repository auth.
- * `password`: password for repository auth.
- * `publickey`: publickey for repository auth.
- * `privatekey`: privatekey for repository auth.
-
-When using groups repositories, each group must have its own `remote` in the `remote_repo` config.
-
-``` yaml
-hooks:
- push_to_remote:
- remote_repo:
- routers: git@git.intranet:oxidized/routers.git
- switches: git@git.intranet:oxidized/switches.git
- firewalls: git@git.intranet:oxidized/firewalls.git
+```shell
+mkdir /var/run/oxidized
+chown oxidized:oxidized /var/run/oxidized
```
+3. Make oxidized start on boot
-## Hook configuration example
-
-``` yaml
-hooks:
- push_to_remote:
- type: githubrepo
- events: [post_store]
- remote_repo: git@git.intranet:oxidized/test.git
- username: user
- password: pass
+```shell
+update-rc.d oxidized defaults
```
-## Hook type: awssns
+## Help
-The `awssns` hook publishes messages to AWS SNS topics. This allows you to notify other systems of device configuration changes, for example a config orchestration pipeline. Multiple services can subscribe to the same AWS topic.
+If you need help with Oxidized then we have a few methods you can use to get in touch.
-Fields sent in the message:
+* [Gitter](https://gitter.im/oxidized/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) - You can join the Lobby on gitter to chat to other Oxidized users.
+* [GitHub](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/) - For help and requests for code changes / updates.
+* [Forum](https://community.librenms.org/c/help/oxidized) - A user forum run by [LibreNMS](https://github.com/librenms/librenms) where you can ask for help and support.
- * `event`: Event type (e.g. `node_success`)
- * `group`: Group name
- * `model`: Model name (e.g. `eos`)
- * `node`: Device hostname
+## Help Needed
-Configuration example:
+As things stand right now, `oxidized` is maintained by a single person. A great
+many [contributors](https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/graphs/contributors) have
+helped further the software, however contributions are not the same as ongoing
+owner- and maintainer-ship. It appears that many companies use the software to
+manage their network infrastructure, this is great news! But without additional
+help to maintain the software and put out releases, the future of oxidized
+might be less bright. The current pace of development and the much needed
+refactoring simply are not sustainable if they are to be driven by a single
+person.
-``` yaml
-hooks:
- hook_script:
- type: awssns
