Oxidized

Purpose: Oxidized is a network device configuration backup tool and a RANCID replacement.
Scale: The project describes Oxidized as light and extensible and says it supports over 130 operating system types.
Scheduling: Oxidized automatically adds or removes threads to meet the configured retrieval interval.
REST API: Its REST API can reload nodes, fetch configurations, list nodes, show node versions and diffs, and move a node to the head of the queue.
Change triggers: A syslog UDP and file example can catch IOS or JunOS configuration changes and trigger a configuration fetch.
Data sources: Supported source backends are CSV, SQLite, MySQL and HTTP.
Storage outputs: Supported outputs are File, GIT, GIT-Crypt and HTTP; GIT creates a commit for each configuration change.
Web interface: The RESTful API and web interface are provided by the optional oxidized-web gem, disabled by default and configured on port 8888 by default.
Secret handling: The remove_secret option strips sensitive data from fetched configurations before storage, and the GIT-Crypt backend encrypts configuration pushes using git-crypt.
Integrations: Hooks support GitHub repository pushes, AWS SNS, Slack, Cisco Spark and XMPP notifications.
Support: The project lists Gitter, GitHub and the LibreNMS community forum for help and support.
Maintenance: The README says Oxidized is currently maintained by very few people and asks more individuals and companies to get involved.
