Oxidized with LibreNMS helps you improve network management and monitoring by providing automated configuration backup, change tracking, and historical data analysis, all of which contribute to enhanced network security, stability, and troubleshooting capabilities. Here are some of the Benefits:

1. Configuration Backup: Oxidized automatically backs up the configurations of your network devices, allowing you to easily recover in case of a failure, misconfiguration, or during troubleshooting.
2. Change Tracking: It helps you keep track of configuration changes over time. If someone makes an unauthorized or unexpected change to a device, you can quickly identify it and take necessary actions.
3. Version Control: Oxidized stores configuration backups in a version-controlled format, making it easy to review and revert to previous configurations when necessary.
4. Efficient Troubleshooting: When an issue arises, you can compare current configurations with previous ones to pinpoint the changes that might be causing problems, saving time during troubleshooting.
5. Security and Compliance: Configurations are often sensitive, and having a backup helps maintain security and compliance by ensuring you have a record of your network's settings.
6. Automated Synchronization: Oxidized can automate the synchronization of network device configurations with LibreNMS, making it easier to manage a large number of devices in your network.
7. Reduced Downtime: By having quick access to historical configurations, you can minimize downtime during maintenance or recovery operations.

8. Historical Analysis: Storing historical configuration data can be valuable for trend analysis, performance optimization, and capacity planning.
