MantisNMS backs up your switch, router and firewall configurations on a schedule and on demand, keeps every version, shows exactly what changed, and flags insecure settings — without another tool to run.
Scheduled and on-demand backups over SSH for Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Arista, HPE/Aruba, MikroTik and Palo Alto, plus Cisco Meraki through the Dashboard API. A new version is saved only when the config really changes.
Every version is kept, with a side-by-side diff of exactly what changed between any two.
Get an alert when a device's running config changes, so no change goes unnoticed.
Built-in checks per vendor — default SNMP communities, telnet, plaintext passwords, missing hardening — plus your own rules. High-severity findings open an incident.
Passwords and keys in stored configs are masked. A changed secret still shows up in the diff; its value never does.
SSH credentials live in an encrypted vault, can be set per device, and each device's SSH host key is pinned so credentials are never sent to an impostor.
Add the switch, router or firewall as an SNMP sensor; MantisNMS identifies the vendor.
Assign an SSH credential for the site, or pin one to the device. Meraki uses your Dashboard API key.
Configs are backed up on a schedule, and you can click "Backup now" any time.
Drift alerts and compliance findings appear in Alerts and the notification bell.
Config backup is part of MantisNMS, priced per sensor from $175 per month for 500 sensors, with no multi-year contract. See pricing →
Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Arista, HPE/Aruba, MikroTik and Palo Alto devices over SSH, and cloud-managed Cisco Meraki networks through the Meraki Dashboard API.
No. Secrets in stored configs are replaced with a masked fingerprint before they're saved, so changes still show up in diffs but the values never appear.
On a regular schedule and whenever you click "Backup now". A new version is only saved when the configuration actually changes.
Yes. Add rules that require or forbid any pattern in a config, alongside the built-in checks for each vendor — and switch off any built-in check you don't need.
