Netwrix Change Reporter named excellent at doing what it is intended to do!
Netwrix Auditing Platform Architecture
Network devices, such as routers, switches, firewalls, and others, are the core infrastructure of every computer network and without correct configuration settings the entire network or any part of it can become unreachable, underperforming, vulnerable to external attacks or become a source of numerous connectivity issues. And no network can live without dynamic changes that occur daily: new devices appear, old devices become obsolete, configuration changes are made by network administrators, including accidental and unauthorized changes.
Netwrix Network Infrastructure Change Reporter is a network device auditing and reporting tool. Currently the product is in BETA and allows to report only on the limited number of device configuration settings, such as Network Device, Network Interface, Gateways, Device IPs, MAC Address and several others.
When Netwrix Network Infrastructure Change Reporter is officially released, it will track changes to network devices, such as Cisco and CheckPoint, automatically detect new devices in specified IP ranges and tracks changes to their settings, such as modifications in IP routing tables, firewall rules, security settings, and protocol parameters. Armed with Network Infrastructure Change Reporter, network administrators will be able to automatically document every single change made to managed devices and detect unmanaged and rogue devices. The change audit data can be used for security analysis, troubleshooting, and compliance audits.
Note: Network Infrastructure Change Reporter queries device configuration using on SNMP protocol and supports only SNMP-enabled devices (SNMP v1, v2 and v3).
