Drill-down actions 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 system provides two levels of drill-down actions in DVT definition:
▪Template level — perform actions targeting all devices on a map. Drill-down actions 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 drill-down actions.
