Critical Functions of Intent Creation
There are also some helpful actions as follows for you to create an meaningful intent:
Active Cache Setting
The Active Cache effectively reduces redundant live data retrievals, preventing excessive strain on core devices or problematic devices. You can specify the maximum age of the CLI command/configuration file in the intent definition, specifically at the device command section level.
Duplicate Section
In the Add Command dialog, you can select Duplicate to duplicate the parsers and diagnosis defined under the current device to another device.
|
Note: If you open a NI from a map, the map devices are also displayed for you to select when you duplicate a section.
|
After selecting the device, the variables and diagnosis under the device "US-BOS-R1" will be duplicated to the selected device.
Switch Devices
When using a sample NI, click the 
icon and select Switch Devices to switch the devices in the sample NI to your real network devices. The system will switch the devices in diagnosis, compound variable, compound table, and Formula Column, and the baseline data of new device will get from live or current baseline.
