Title: manage multiple sites routers
Post by: NevadaTech on September 09, 2021, 07:53:40 pm
Hello,

I've been looking but not finding, any help?

We have a couple dozen pfSense routers we support. Some of the sites have IPSEC VPNs, some use OpenVPN for remote access. Most sites are basic single segment networks - DHCP, DNS, NTP. The plan is to migrate them to OPNsense. Is there a tool/service that we can manage all of the routers from a single dashboard?

It can be a limited overview/manager. Something that takes care of 80% of the jobs. For all of the features of OPNsense we only use 10% of them. Items we're looking for are
* sends the remote router's firmware/version
* allows remote kickoff of updates (yes, I know this can be dangerous)
* check status and restart of IPSEC VPNs
* alerts on gateway failures and packet loss alerts (pull sided vs remote pushing?)
* pull config backups from remote routers so we have a backup locally for future jobs/recovery
* since this is a wish list, a feature that we could semi prep the router (WAN static or DHCP), a public/private SSH key exchange (?), when the user plugs it in, we could then attach and do a little deeper config
* this tool would send out email/sms notifications

I imagine you could do a lot of the reporting with Zabbix. Is the plugin current?. There is Monit on the boxes but I haven't looked into its features yet.

And, yes, we'd happily pay for a quality product, anything that saves us work.

Thanks for ideas and input!

... I meant for the plugin only.
