A multi-tool for Linux administrators
Building on experience from its MAGNAPing infrastructure monitoring system, Zenith Elevate is announcing the launch of a new product for Linux administrators: MAGNABoard.
Register and manage as many remote Linux hosts as you need, from the comfort of a Windows GUI environment! Use passwords or SSH certificates, for authentication. Go crazy and login as root or stay safe and use sudo. Compare host configuration in an easy-to-use, tabbed UI. No more need to type commands into text-based terminals, pipe outputs to files, or to transfer files back and forth, over SSH/FTP. Even if you need a file from the host, MAGNABoard may already have an export feature for it.
It is a tool that manages a growing number of facets of Linux hosts. Currently, in its Beta stage, it supports:
- User, group, and session administration. Sudoer administration WIP.
- Firewall management. WIP.
- Package/repo management (RHEL/Fedora/CentOS dnf/rpm).
- Kernel module management.
- Cron/anacron scheduled task management.
- Built-in host file browser with chmod, chown, mkdir, and touch for complete file management.
All of the above facets can be loaded at the same time, in parallel, and for as many hosts as necessary, for administration, comparison, and synchronization (manual, for now).
Beta testers wanted! Use Contact Us form at Zenith Elevate or PM me on Linkedin for your free copy of the Beta version.
Roadmap
Coming soon is a number of features such as:
- Systemd services and timers management.
- Expanded support for Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, and other Linux flavours, and possibly for other UNIces, such as FreeBSD and whatnot.
- Expanded comparison that currently exists in package management.
- Synchronization of hosts’ configurations.
- Built-in basic terminal emulator.
- Generation/distribution of SSH keys.
I welcome and appreciate user input, and Beta testers will have a chance to influence further development, with the feedback about their needs.
