Network backup, alerting and cartography for controlled environments.
OPIA is a Windows application for Cisco-first environments. It collects network evidence locally, protects device configurations, highlights change and builds useful topology and inventory information.
Discover devices. Understand physical and logical relationships. Track change. Investigate issues. All from a purpose-built application designed to operate without requiring cloud connectivity.
Backup
Organisations can maintain a persistent capability for collecting evidence, understanding topology, protecting configurations and identifying change.
OPIA supports scheduled and manual activities including configuration backup, fingerprinting, inventory collection, topology discovery and connectivity testing.
- OPIA can securely collect and retain device configurations, providing a historical record of the network and making configuration changes easier to identify.
- Run manual or scheduled configuration backups.
- Compare configuration versions.
- Identify changed and unchanged configurations.
- Retain configuration versions for later review.
- Record successful and failed collection attempts.
Cartography
OPIA builds interactive network inventory and evidence-based diagrams to show devices, connections, topology and how the network fits together.
- Use a range of protocols to fingerprint devices.
- Distinguish directly observed relationships from inferred relationships.
- Explore physical connectivity and logical context together.
- Visualise VLANs, routing, HSRP and Spanning Tree information.
- Identify infrastructure roles such as access, distribution, core and routed devices.
- Customise and store network drawings.
- Export topology diagrams for reviews, change control, audits and customer meetings.
Alerting
OPIA provides operational alerting to highlight issues, track activity and help users investigate and resolve problems.
- Action Queue highlights current work and items requiring attention.
- Alerts consolidate findings from devices, backups, topology, inventory, automation, licensing and the underlying system.
- Acknowledge, investigate, annotate, suppress or resolve issues while retaining the operational history behind them.
- Retain a history of successful and failed collection attempts.
- Keep an operational timeline of activity and findings.
- Sent alert notifications by email.
OPIA
OPIA was created to bring clarity to complex network environments, giving engineers, technicians and security teams a clearer view of configuration, connectivity and operational state.
OPIA makes complex networks visible through an intuitive, evidence-based interface, with integrated configuration backup, alerting and operational tools.
