I have push back from management, that capability of change runbook are not real automation as there is manual intervention needed in each step of the runbook node.

  • I would like to have runbook, where I can create step of nodes, where I will define benchmarks before and after.
  • I want to have a node with pre-check, for example Qapp to test if it’s safe to proceed with implementation of change. Only if the test is passed the change part would be executed.

The use case is to run IOS upgrade with defined runbook, that can be executed on 1 click

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your enthusiasm and support for NetBrain! We truly appreciate your suggestion. Our Product team takes it seriously and has conducted an internal discussion. Currently, our feature does not include a "Run All" function for the following two reasons:

  1.  In a normal runbook, "Run All" executes all nodes concurrently. However, in change management runbook, nodes have a clear sequential order—some nodes run before a change, while others run after it—making simultaneous execution unsuitable.
  2. Many changes are a serious process, requiring manual review of each node's result before deciding whether to proceed to the next step.

Let us know if you have any further thoughts or suggestions!

 For your two requests:

  1. The first request can be addressed by Retrieve Live Data Node and Compare Node.
  1. Regarding the second request, the current pre-check already supports implementation using different nodes. You can use the Intent node to check the result and proceed with execution if successful. For more details, you can contact the support team.
