Dynamic GC Compliance & Remediation

Dynamic GC Compliance & Remediation

Golden Configurations are frequently managed through the UI for many operations; however, it is important that we extend this functionality to Automation Studio via exposed tasks as well. Previously it was difficult to dynamically design Golden Configurations through tasks and APIs, but with two new APIs it has now become straightforward. With that being said, the following tasks have been implemented.

updateNodeConfig

The updateNodeConfig task allows you to easily update the configuration of a node in a GC tree.

Example

{
  "treeId": "60ad5b4948555dc621052bd0",
  "treeVersion": "initial",
  "nodePath": "base/US-West",
  "data": {
      "template": "ntp server {{ntp_ip}}",
      "variables": {
          "ntp_ip": "192.15.32.146"
      }
  },
  "updateVariables": false
}

convertChangesToConfig

The convertChangesToConfig task displays the remediation payload as a native configuration to preview the config that would be sent to the device for application.

Example

{
  "deviceType": "cisco-ios",
  "changes": [
      {
          "parents": [],
          "old": null,
          "new": "hostname IOS-Device1"
      }
  ]
}
