Studio Module

This chapter covers the major features and functionality of the AppViewX Studio module, which is a platform that can be used for the following purposes:

  • Building custom workflows and tasks to make network operations agile
  • Performing decision-based automation to achieve single or zero-touch provisioning
  • Automating tasks using a third-party integration

The Studio module is divided into three sub-systems, each of which has its own set of tasks you can perform:

  • Workflow - It comprises of the following:
    • Design a custom workflow using a drag and drop UI or Import an existing workflow.
    • Variables & Hooks - Execute custom REST or script codes on top of the existing code using the Hooks section. You can define Magic variables (static or dynamic), which are similar to the global variables. The only difference is that the global variables can be used only within one workflow, whereas, magic variables can be used across workflows. The hooks can also be mapped with the magic variables.
    • General - Add/manage Python codes and regular expressions using the Helper script and Regex Library sections respectively. You can access the AppViewX GitHub repository containing various reusable workflows.
  • Reports - It comprises of the following tabs:
    • My reports contain all the reports created by you or all the reports that have been created, depending on the permissions you have been assigned. It allows you tocreate,clone, ordeletereport(s).
    • Store allows you to view or clone 31 (6 samples and 25 certificates) pre-built reports.
  • Rules - Allows you to create an action (force down, enable, and disable) related rule(s) to trigger workflows for the ADC objects.
