Network Health Runbooks

Does anyone have a runbook they can share made specifically for network health checks? I know how to put together a runbook with CLI commands to show CPU utilization or check for interface errors but was wondering if anyone got creative and made some Qapps or other elements in a runbook to accomplish this that I am not thinking of.On a side note, is there any place that NB users can submit their own custom made stuff?

Configuration change CLI commands

Hello! Is there a way to run configuration change CLI commands (for example “conf t” → “banner login ‘some banner’” → “exit” → “copy running-config startup-config”)? I saw that you can run show type CLI commands through benchmarks, but the config change ones don’t seem to work. Thank you

Rate Limiting Automation Library

Hello everyone, My network has a couple of sites, which were having download/upload speed issues. We checked everything on our ISP, it wasnt them. After running the Highlight MTU Interface QAPP we realized some MTU mismatches which fixed the issues after matching them.But one site is still having the issue, I am checking the sites’ configs but is are there any automation library that checks rate limiting, or give me a good overall health for the site. So far I have tried the Overall Health View, nothing stands out, MTU matches. I’d like to have a real in-depth look to the entire network on the site.Thank you. 6

Network Speed Benchmarking

Does anyone have a Qapp that will help conduct a network speed test (like iperf)? I want to automate a periodic test to prove speed over a longer period of time.

Compliance and NGFW Policy Audit?

Has anyone done NFGW Policy Audit with NetBrain automation (Rule Compliance, Access Compliance, Configuration Compliance) ?NetBrain collects the configuration, but there doesn't seem to be a build-in check relevant for businesses.Deleting unused rules also needs log information, but perhaps doable? SD-WAN, NFGW, and Cloud FW are usually under the special control and ownership of companies, i.e., there is interest, while the operator holds the WAN configuration. Even outsourced FW management, business need to audit compliance regulary. Of course, one option is to choose a separate FW Policy audit software, but if you have all config and digital twin it could be part of NB solution by default?

Multivendor environment and EEE verification using NetBrain?

What would be the best way to verify (audit) using NetBrain that all devices in the multivendor network with power saving features are also configured and turned on? (Cisco EEE, IEEE 802.3az, HPE Aruba Green AP) - Electricity in Europe will be astronomically expensive by 2022.

Parser with multiple variables

Hello I’m trying to create a parser for repeated use in my company. My goal is to identify intrefaces that haven’t been used in over 6 months by using the “sh int” command and parsing the “Last input” portion of the output.GigabitEthernet1/0/19 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect) Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 1111.1111.111 (bia 1111.1111.111) Description: Example MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set Keepalive set (10 sec) Auto-duplex, Auto-speed, media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX input flow-control is on, output flow-control is unsupported ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00 Last input 6w4d, output 6w4d, output hang never In theory this should be easy but because of how Cisco shows the dates it is fairly hard to put into a string and parse it. I have this so far as to identify interfaces:$int is $int_status, line protocol isAnd this for the last input port

Netbrain Report for all configured IP addresses

I am looking to see if there is a report or an easy QAPP that can query a device (like a core switch) and return all configured IP addresses (some devices have multiple VRFs). We have a few initiatives that this would be a handy set of data (dynamic on demand) for us to have.

Diff Report

Is there an option to create a report of all the devices with a configuration drift. Also know as a differential (diff) between device configurations and a golden config? Ideally I do not select each device and compare configurations.

Multiple Dataviews per Qapp

Is there any way to apply more than one dataview within a single Qapp? I have created a Qapp that has two data tables, however even though you can create what looks like two dataviews, the definition of those only references Table 1 and I have not found a way to change the reference.

API Support - User Details

Where is the best place to get support for API related questions? The API is maintained on GitHub, which has its own built in issue tracker. Our support contract gives me access to the support portal where I can open tickets. The Exchange gives me access to the Netbrain community. Which is the “best” place to get support for API issues? Specifically, when I send an authenticated request to the CMDB/Users API endpoint and I provide the authentication server, username, tenant, and domain parameters, I get back just basic user information for the given user. If I don’t specify anything except the admin account name I get back a lot more data. I’m assuming by not specifying tenant and domain, the API is pulling data at the system level for the username instead of the domain level. For user tracking and auditing, I need to be able to get back the detailed data for domain users as well as system level users. Sample of what I get back for domain users with external authentication:[{
