Build Base Table via Member Intents of Intent Cluster

When to build ADT by selecting intent cluster?

When member intents of an intent cluster contain the critical network assets or properties useful to solve a repeatable network problem, this intent cluster can be used to create an ADT to populate the useful data, such as source device properties.

Define Base Table via Intent Cluster

The eigen variables used for intent cluster decoding can fill the table rows. The member intents, member intent devices, and signature values are built-in data sources. Intents outputs can also be added to ADT.

To build the base table with intent cluster, follow the steps below:

Prerequisites: Create an intent cluster and generate member intents for this cluster.

  1. Go to Automation Data Table Manager, then create a new table and name it (for example NIC Timer).

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

    1. Select Method to Build Base Table: Select Other Object > Member Intents of Intent Cluster.
    2. Description: Input descriptions for the base table to describe its use and function.
    3. Intent Cluster: Select the created intent cluster for building the base table.
  4. Mapping Available Fields to Column Group: Drag and drop the available fields to the column group definition area to create ADT columns automatically.

    InformationNote: To perform common operations on a column, click corresponding items from the drop menu

    There are three field categories in this area to be selected.
  • Built-in Fields: The built-in fields available for this base table is Member Intent field. 
  • Signature Variables: Select data fields to use the data as the signature variables for the intent cluster.
  • Intent Data: 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. Filter Row: Select sites or device group for filtering the data in the table row.

  2. Click Save and Build to save all the settings and build the base table data.

 The following table describes available data fields for building base table if the intent cluster is the data source.

Data Fields for Building Base Table Via Intent Cluster
 Field TypeFieldsDescription
Built-in Field

Member Intent

The built-in fields are created from the data used for intent cluster definition.
Device Signature Variables

Device Name

mgmp ip

The signature variable is defined by the table columns. The signature variables can only be used in the base table of ADT and when the method to build base table is Pre-replicated Intent Template.
Intent Output Field

Intent Message

Intent Status Code

Device Status Code

Status Code Summary

Result Summary

Intent Devices

Intent Map

Intent CLI Commands

Last Execution Time

The intent output fields are created from intent details of the intents replicated from the intent cluster.
