Define Recommended Automations

Recommended automations are a group of tasks elaborately designed to analyze and troubleshoot a certain network issue, building a bridge to connect dynamic maps with network automation for diagnosis and troubleshooting.

The action input for each recommended automation is script-based. If you want to customize input parameters in the script to ensure actions can run as expected, please refer to The Syntax for Defining Action Input and  Syntax for Defining Target Devices.

Action Level and Device Scope

The system provides two levels of recommended automations in DVT definition:

• Template level — perform actions targeting all devices on a map. Recommended automations at the template level are displayed unconditionally.
• Device level — perform actions targeting specific devices/interfaces only, and its display is controlled via conditions.

The following table shows whether action input and device scope can be customized at each level of recommended automations.

Tip: Action input for most recommended automations can be customized. See Syntax for Defining Action Input for more details.

Tip: To customize device scope for recommended automations at the device level, see Syntax for Defining Target Devices for more details.

Available Recommended Automations at Both Levels

The following table introduces the recommended automations that can be defined at the template level and device level.
