Network "Binnacle"

Hello Redditors,

I'm curious about what people use to log network changes, specifically, the reasons for such changes and the procedures done, so you can go back and see them and why were done, say Person A changes 3 things at 3 different devices we currently use a mix of logs and oxidized to track these changes who did them and the diffs with old config, but we don't have a real system where we can go and check "hey those 3 changes done at 3 am were to fix this or that, and this is the procedure followed".

Something that shows all the changes logged in time, then you click in one and you can read the description of the change, who did it, affected devices, config snippets, etc. I'm looking for something that has to be manually filled by operators.

Where I work basically this is just a mix of emails, then oxidized logs the diffs and the loggins systems shows who did it, but having to go and check different systems at once just to see what was done and then go check emails to know why this or that was done, I don't see it that helpful. Maybe a ticketing system would work, but I'm thinking about something that actually shows a timeline of changes logged.
