[AusNOG] Wiki for network ops

[Sean K. Finn]

ATLASSIAN + CONFLUENCE + FISHEYE is a killer combo.

There's a 10 user free, if you need more users, you need to pay.

The best part is that you can link it to SVN or CVS, so if you use RANCID to log network changes from your router you can,
http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/

Submit a ticket in your own system,
Make the change,
Link the new rancid CVS to the change,
Link with yEd http://www.yworks.com/en/products_diagramsforconfluence_about.html <- Again free for up to 10 users,
Draw a pretty picture of your network,
And add it to the WIKI.

It makes sense to have the whole lot of back-office / back-network config, issue tracking, change management and diagramming all in one place.

Sean.

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building a new wiki as a repository for network ops type information (work instructions, configuration standards, site information, howtos, and so on).

I've previously used MediaWiki and I guess it was "OK" but I'm interested in learning what other people are using for similar purposes. I was leaning towards DokuWiki, based on a friend's positive experience. We don't have any special requirements, I don't think.
LDAP auth required, being able to PDF'ify articles would be nice.

Does anything in particular stand out? What are the features of your wiki software that you really like?

Open source preferred; underlying OS is Red Hat Linux.

Feel free to reply on or off-list.

cheers,
Dale
