    Retivo documentation

    Back up, compare, push, patch and audit the configs of your network devices, from one place.

    Retivo keeps an eye on your switches, routers, firewalls and access points: whether they are up, what their configuration looks like today and on any day before, which of them run software with known vulnerabilities, and whether they follow your rules. These pages explain how it works and how to do things with it.

    New to Retivo?

    Start with What is Retivo, then follow the Quick start. You can have your first two devices backed up in about fifteen minutes.

    The documentation is split the same way as many infrastructure projects:

    • Getting started walks you from sign-up to your first backups.
    • Concepts explains the parts of Retivo and how they fit together.
    • Tasks are step-by-step guides for one job each.
    • Reference lists platforms, permissions, background jobs, settings and known limits.
