Build Map-based ADT Via Map and Intent

When to build ADT by selecting Map and Intent?

Site maps and map intents have been created to document the network infrastructure and critical design. From these maps, users can build an ADT for 5 types of events (TAF, PAF, Follow-up diagnosis, Chatbot, and Auto Intent). With this ADT, the system can find related site maps for an event by matching the ADT column data and the event data, then run the associated map intents for troubleshooting network problems.

Define Basic Table Data via Map and Intent

Map properties can be used as the input data for filling the table rows.

To build the base table with map properties, follow the steps below:

Prerequisites: Create maps and save the maps in a map folder (for example, Map Folder "Network Design").

  1. Go to Automation Data Table, then create a new table and name it (for example, "Network Design").

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

  • Description: Input descriptions for the base table to describe its use and function (for example,"This is for network design with map").
  • Select Method to Build Base Table: Select Map and Intent method.
  • Map Folders and Maps: Select the created maps for building the base table.

  1. Mapping Available Fields to Column Group: Drag and drop the available fields 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.
    Select fields from the following field categories in this area:
  • Built-in Fields: The built-in fields available for this base table are listed in this area.

    Built-in Field
    • Map
    • Map Name
    • Map Location
    • Map Devices
    • Map Device Interfaces
    • Map Intent
    		The built-in fields are created from map properties.
    Intent Output Field
    • Intent Message
    • Intent Status Code
    • Device Status Code
    • Intent Devices
    • Intent Map
    • Intent CLI Commands
    • Last Execution Time
    		The intent output fields are created from the intent details of the map intent.
  • Intent Outputs: Other intent information can be displayed in the intent output columns of the ADT, such as intent message, intent status code, intent devices, intent map, intent CLI commands, and last execution time.
  1. Click Save and Build. The Build Table dialog appears, define the settings as per your preferences.
  2. Click Build to save all the settings.

 If you need to enrich the ADT with more column groups, follow the instructions in Enrich Basic Table Data with Column Groups.
