Title: Open source centralized management
Post by: mterry2015 on July 17, 2019, 09:03:23 PM
Hello.  Does anyone know of any open source software that can provide centralized management of multiple devices?  I have only been able to find a couple of options (PFMonitor and DynFi).  This may not exist at this point, but it never hurts to ask.  Thanks in advance.

Puppet supports OPNsense, as does Ansible. Zabbix can monitor OPNsense.

Which aspects do you want to manage?

This depends on what you are trying to do. Puppet is a big one but designed for the hyperscalers to deploy and configure systems on mass rather than as an infrastructure monitoring system.

If you're looking for an open source solution for monitoring with loads of flexibility then consider zabbix.

Our very own fraenki contributed to puppet: https://forge.puppet.com/fraenki/opnsense

I'm already using Zabbix and Graylog for Monitoring and Alerting :)
But i would like to run centralized updates, maybe that is possible with Puppet.

If it is only the firmware update, that works via the API so you can just use curl and sh to automate that.
