eNMS: Enterprise-Grade Network Automation

eNMS is an enterprise-grade vendor-agnostic network automation platform. Designed for crafting workflow-based network automation solutions, it offers several functionalities, including:

  • Configuration Management Service: Enables backup with Git and facilitates changes and rollback of configurations.
  • Validation Services: Validates device state data via Netmiko and NAPALM.
  • Ansible Service: Allows storage and execution of Ansible playbooks.
  • REST Service: Facilitates sending of REST calls with a variable URL and payload.
  • Python Script Service: Any python script can be integrated directly into the web UI. Impressively, eNMS automatically constructs a form in the UI for the script’s input parameters.
  • Workflows: Provides a graphical interface to piece together services into a comprehensive workflow.
  • Scheduling: Enables the scheduling of services and workflows to either commence at a future time or run periodically using CRON.
  • Event-driven automation: Via the REST API, services and workflows can be instantaneously triggered.
