Show me the devices that have this BGP statement. Now you can do a configuration search for the absence or presence of any configuration element. Configuration Search / ValidationĮver been in a situation where you are about to go live with a major new network segment and/or change, and wondered if every configuration was set the way it needed to be? This solution highlights the strength of the selector architecture, capable of correlating any data source or data type, including configuration changes. With the impact of the configuration change identified, operations teams can roll back the change if needed, using an approved process. Instead of operations teams having to guess at what the likely sources of anomalies are, there is greater clarity, more efficient triage, lower mean time to detect (MTTD), and lower mean time to repair (MTTR). Through this workflow, anomaly detection is much richer, and correlated to likely causes whether it is a fault in the network or a configuration change. Selector users can drill down on all correlated information including diff and whole configuration Selector highlights the correlated incident to users.Selector correlates the diff to any relevant anomalies.Selector stores both the diff and the new configuration.The repository does a diff between the old config and the new config.The entire configuration is retrieved from the affected device and stored in a repository.A syslog event monitor invokes an automation webhook, for example Rundeck/Ansible,.Operations teams can be configuration commandos, with an elite understanding of configuration changes, settings, and consequences.
Operations teams can now audit configuration changes, correlate configuration changes to anomalies, and search for the presence or absence of specific configuration statements.
This is surprising given how often configuration changes lead to outages as well as their potential to create security vulnerabilities.Įnter the Selector Configuration Compliance solution. Observability tools have historically focused on logs and metrics, but not configuration information. Selector Platform Architecture Introduction
