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.

Rancid for capturing configs, with some custom Python for grabbing changes as they happen and announcing via Slack.
Why not track changes in a git repo and post git diff after each change?
That’s how it works, except we use the Rancid default of CVS instead of git. Rancid handles pulling the configs and puts them into a CVS repo, then the diffs are sent to the channel.
Ah! Last I looked at Rancid it was backups with optional $REPO. TIL
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.
Thanks I just got it running. Now to figure out what to do about credentials 😞. Our enable creds are different depending on region.
