vConfig Documentation

vConfig is a Configuration-Driven Visual Network AIOps Platform for carriers, IDC operators and mid-to-large enterprise networks: configuration management, resource management (IPAM/DCIM), monitoring, log analytics, intelligent alerting, automation, AI-assisted fault analysis and visual topology — one self-hosted system covering the full network lifecycle.

Your device credentials, configurations and monitoring data never leave your infrastructure. The only things that talk to vconfig.ai are license activation, update checks and a one-time install registration (a random ID, version, OS, device count and the IP the request comes from — no hostnames, no license key, nothing about the devices you manage; VCONFIG_NO_TELEMETRY=1 switches it off). See the Privacy Policy.

Start here
Installation One-command install on any Linux server with Docker
Quick Start First login, adding devices, your first backup
Licensing & Activation Plans, license keys, offline grace
Updates (OTA) Keeping vConfig up to date

The modules

Every module below ships in every plan, including the free tier — the plan decides how many devices you manage, not which features you get.

Devices
Device Management The inventory everything else keys off: credentials, groups, bulk import, online inventory
Auto-discovery Find devices by scanning IP ranges over SNMP
Out-of-band Management Console servers and browser console access
Vendors & Drivers Login procedure, command sets and output formats — 15 built in, all editable

Configuration
Configuration Backup Scheduled collection, version compare, Git-backed archive
Config Changes & Diff What somebody changed last night, and drift from an approved baseline
Compliance Baseline Rules, variable profiles, scan results, one-click remediation
Config Insight Reconstruct the business ledger from running configuration
Config Push & Change Templates, approval, dangerous-command blocking, snapshot and rollback

Visualization
Network Topology Maps generated from the network, coloured by live utilization, with Path Trace
Neighbor Relations The adjacency table behind the map, and per-link latency
Interface Traffic SNMP history with 95th percentile, from live to a year back
Traffic analysis NetFlow / IPFIX / sFlow rankings by 5-tuple, AS and geography, targeted capture
SLA Matrix Full-mesh latency / jitter / loss, measured from your own routers

Resources
IPAM Prefixes, VLANs, VRFs, ASNs and tenants — reconciled against the network
DCIM & Racks Rooms, zones, racks, U positions, PDUs and cables
Cloud Resources Multi-cloud inventory and billing next to your own racks

Operations
Dashboard The morning-coffee view for a NOC
Monitoring & Alerting One alert center, three notification channels, evaluated every 2 minutes
Log Center Syslog ingest, drop rules and pattern-level log insight
AIOps Root-cause analysis on grouped events, with runbooks and local RAG
Bastion & Web Terminal Browser terminal with recording, replay and command rules
Reports Build a report from the module library, export PDF / HTML / CSV

Administration
Users & Access Control Three levels per module, LDAP / OIDC / TOTP
System Settings Reference for all thirteen settings sections

Supported vendors

18 vendors ship built in: Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, H3C, MikroTik, Arista EOS, HPE Comware, Ruijie RGOS, ZTE ZXROS, Netgear, Dell OS10, Broadcom SONiC / ICOS, Centec 盛科 (CentecOS), Fortinet 飞塔 (FortiOS), Hillstone 山石 (StoneOS), Palo Alto (PAN-OS), Linux and ATEN.

Each one arrives with its own login procedure, command set and output format family, and every one of them can be edited under Devices → Vendor settings. Anything else reachable over SSH or Telnet can be added as a custom vendor — no code change, no waiting for us.
