Incident Management using the new workflow-based UI (Limited Availability – intended for non-production use only):
NOM 2019.05 adds an incident management workflow to the existing compliance management workflow in the new user interface for NOM.  This new capability enables a user to easily identify the most urgent open incidents, troubleshoot the issue efficiently, and initiate an automated remediation action to correct a configuration all from a single end to end UI.  This capability, that greatly improves mean time to repair and helps prevents network downtime, includes:
  • Detailed incident information across the managed infrastructure to help assess impact and urgency.
  • An Incident troubleshooting dashboard including default metric information relevant to the specific incident, with ability to configure metrics displayed to provide a single actionable dashboard to resolve an incident efficiently and accelerate mean time to repair.
  • Configuration and diagnostic change events overlaid on graphs of troubleshooting metrics to help speed identification of the root cause.
  • Incident remediation by deploying user-defined Change Plans in the context of troubleshooting to automate the configuration changes needed to resolve an incident across groups of nodes.
  • New REST APIs for the Network Automation and Network Node Manager i backend to support the NOM UI incident management functionality and for orchestration use cases.

  • Save time and skip up to 10 intermediate releases, reduce risk in upgrading and take advantage of a variety of new features, enhancements, and quality improvements.
