IronDiff

IronDiff is a lightweight drift detection tool that gives network engineers instant visibility into configuration changes without compromising security. When network outages occur, infrastructure teams waste hours trying to figure out exactly what changed on the router or switch. IronDiff solves this by deploying as a local Docker container that pulls hardware configurations and provides visual, side-by-side diffs directly to your portal. Because the agent operates entirely outbound from your local environment, it requires absolutely zero inbound firewall rules to be opened. You maintain complete control over your device credentials while automating configuration backups and drastically reducing Mean Time to Resolution. Deploy the container, connect via the local web UI on port 5000, and start detecting drift in minutes.
