Intent-Based Analytics - Probe Basics
IBA empowers the management of complex networks by bridging the gap between raw data and actionable intelligence. IBA probes provide the following benefits:
-
Proactive Monitoring - IBA continuously checks the network’s health against predefined expert rules and dynamically updates as the network evolves.
-
Customization and Automation - Users can create sophisticated analytics pipelines, then leverage them to extract meaningful insights from a vast amount of telemetry.
-
Enhanced Telemetry Analysis - Built-in and user-defined telemetry collectors can be customized to perform data collection from existing NOS commands.
-
Real-Time and Historical Insights - analysis of real-time and historical telemetry provide trend analysis, statistical insights, and anomaly detection to support long-term planning and troubleshooting. This simple exercise shows the fundamentals of working with a built-in IBA probe.
