What solution do you use for configuring monitoring? (lemmy.world)

We currently have ansible, solarwinds and librenms in our environment but ran into an issue recently where a config setting was lost. I know ansible can check these things but then I'll have to configure email and stuff I guess to send alerts? What solution are you using?

We've been using CheckMK for years, even before it was conveniently packaged as OMD, and I would definitely recommend it. We use SaltStack and have a hook on VM deploys/destroys where it adds/removes from monitoring automatically, works great for us.

If you have LibreNMS, why not run the Oxidizer plugin to pull the units config?

Because I didn't know about it... Thank you!

Is this a plugin or a hook into yet another server that runs oxidized?

It's up to you where to run it. We ran it on the same server as our main LibreNMS poller and didn't have any issues getting the config.

Rancid for capturing configs, with some custom Python for grabbing changes as they happen and announcing via Slack.
