Gluware 5.4 Ushers in a New Era of Network Automation with Key Enhancements:
■ Updated Network Discovery: Gluware 5.4 boasts the industry's most powerful discovery capabilities, providing a comprehensive and insightful view of your entire network landscape. The redesigned network discovery UI offers an intuitive user experience, while a new subnet-based search functionality and a create search job functionality helps users to streamline the discovery process. This is in addition to the existing seeded device and neighbor discovery method that uses ARP, LLDP and CDP.
■ Native Ansible Playbook Execution: Gluware 5.4 empowers users to seamlessly run Ansible playbook tasks directly within the Gluware platform. This is provided in the Network RPA app and provides new drag-and-drop tasks to run any user-defined playbook on a remote system with programmatic integration with the response using JSON.
■ Limitless Customization: Gluware 5.4 grants users unprecedented control over their network automation. The platform now allows you to add your own commands and tailor functionalities to meet your specific needs in the Network RPA app.
Additional Platform Upgrades:
- Streamlined ServiceNow CMDB Sync Configuration: The update simplifies ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB) sync configuration, ensuring seamless data flow and source of truth synchronization with the ability to easily define if Gluware or ServiceNow is the source for each field.
■ Allow List Commands: Gluware 5.4 introduces new configuration options for granular control over Command Line Interface (CLI) commands executed from the Gluware platform. These options allow administrators to define user policies for both read and write access, significantly reducing risk by ensuring only authorized commands are executed.
■ Expanded Vendor Support: Gluware 5.4 delivers multi-vendor support across its entire automation suite, enabling IT teams to manage heterogeneous network environments with exceptional efficiency. This update expands support in key areas:
- OS Manager: Automate OS upgrades/downgrades/patches for Cisco IOS XR and HPE/Aruba Aruba-CX devices.
- Config Model Editor: Simplify configuration management for Cisco IOS XR devices.
- Topology: Gain comprehensive network visibility with expanded support for Arista EOS.
- NIST Integration: Strengthen security posture with NIST CVE support for Arista EOS and Fortinet FortiGate devices.
- Enhanced OS Options Support: Manage Arista EOS, Cisco NXOS, and Juniper Junos devices with new features including the ability to ignore file integrity checks on standby supervisors, perform HA pair health checks, monitor boot flash status, and execute file system cleanups.
■ Network RPA Enhancements: Gluware 5.4 further extends the power of Network RPA with new features that streamline automation workflows, including drag-and-drop process automation, operational command execution, and per-target execution capabilities.
