Build ADT Data Via Devices of Device Group

When to build ADT by selecting devices of the device group?

When some existing device groups in the domain can be used for solving specific network problems, ADT can be created via devices of a device group to display the useful data (such as device properties) and associate the intents related to the device for troubleshooting.

Define Basic Table Data via Devices of Device Group

Device properties and device groups that the device belongs to can be used as the input data for filling the table rows. Device properties can be used as built-in data.
To build the base table with the data in devices, follow the steps below:

Prerequisites: Create Device Groups to be selected.

  1. Open Automation Data Table, then create a new table and name it (for example, "GRE Tunnel").

  2. Click Table Builder to open Automation Data Table Builder of the created ADT.
  3. Under the Base tab of Automation Data Table Builder, define the following settings:

    • Description: Input descriptions for the base table (for example, "This is for checking GRE Tunnel Configuration") to describe its use and function.
    • Select Method to Build Base Table: Select Devices of Device Group.
    • Select Devices by Device Group: Select the created device group (for example, device group named "GER Tunnel") for building the base table with the devices in the device group.

  4. Mapping Available Fields to Column Group: Drag and drop the available fields (for instance, fields Device Group Path, Mgmt IP, Mgmt Interface) to the column group definition area to create ADT columns automatically. 

    Information Note: To perform common operations on a column, click corresponding items from the drop-down menu, for example, you can click Edit from the drop-down menu of Device column to change the display name to "Tunnel_Source_Device".
     

    Select fields from the following field category in this area:
  • Built-in Fields: The built-in fields available for this base table are listed in this area to be selected (see the table below for details).
