CVM (Configuration Versioning Manager)

---

CVM is an open source, generic device configuration collector that uses Git as its change historization engine. Its a more modern alternative to RANCID

A Brief Overview of how CVM works:

- Retrieves the list of devices from either a static file (json) or dynamically from NNMi
- Logs into each device using the matching Authentication and Device Profile taking advantage of Parallelism
- Runs the defined commands on the device and collects their expected output
- Cleans Up the output by removing sensitive and unnecessary data
- Individually saves the resulting output of each command locally in the file system
- A per device Git Repository is created and maintained with all the device commands

Features

• Collects and Processes device data concurrently (GPars)
• Supports any SSH enabled device (v2+ Only)
• Independent Git Repository for each collected device
• Integration with HP NNMi for device discovery
• Device Profile schema validator
