Using Instant Qapp to Decode Network Design

Contents

Instant Qapp is the fastest way to decode network design in a live network and overlay the discovered data on top of any maps. With Instant Qapp, a dynamic map becomes the single pane of glass for any network data.

Example: Visualize parser variables on a map.

Supported Parser Types

The following types of parser types are supported in Instant Qapp:

Parser Type	Sample of Search Result
Config Parser
CLI Parser
SNMP Parser
API Parser

Note: For CLI/SNMP/API parsers that contain parameters, only those containing the $intf_name parameter can be searched out in Instant Qapp.

Parser Variable Types in Instant Qapp

The following table introduces the available types of parser variables supported in Instant Qapp:

Parser Variable Type	Icon	Description
Single Variable	N/A	A basic variable type defined in a keyword parser.
Table Variable		A table-formatted variable defined in a table parser. It contains sub variables. Note: You can only drag this variable type to device labels directly.
Paragraph Variable		A paragraph-formatted variable defined in a paragraph parser. It contains sub-variables. Note: You can only drag this variable type to device labels directly. If its sub-variables contain an interface key, you can drag one or more sub-variables to interface labels.
Key Variable		An interface variable that has been configured as an interface key.

Two Levels of Variables

Both device-level and interface-level variables are highlighted in the result of Instant Qapp, with different background colors.

The following table introduces the background colors for the two levels of variables.

Variable Level	Icon
Device-level Variables	Icons are highlighted with a blue background color. For example: .
Interface-level Variables	Icons are highlighted with a green background color. For example: .
