Keep network configuration aligned with approved intent.
Define reusable configuration intent, detect departures, apply modeled changes, and reassess the result.
THE BUSINESS NEED
Correct drift before it costs the business.
A network can drift away from the company’s standards as teams make changes, software is updated, and incidents are resolved. Detecting the departure and restoring approved behavior are different functions. Gluware brings both into a repeatable operating process.
HOW THE CAPABILITY WORKS
How Gluware supports a robust process.
Define the required behavior
CME (Config Model Editor) manages reusable multi-vendor CLI/API configuration-model constructs and node associations. Teams define the Features and Assemblies that represent approved intent.
Detect departures
Config Drift & Audit captures configuration and operational results, compares snapshots, and evaluates audit policies. Run drift or audit checks on demand, scheduled with email notification, from syslog events, or through Network RPA. Integrated logs and reports expose the results.
Preview and apply modeled correction
CME’s Connected Preview analyzes the live configuration and renders proposed differences without writing them. Provisioning is the separate operation that applies the modeled Features. Backup restoration in Device Manager is a distinct recovery path.
Coordinate and reassess
CME CLI/API state assessments run on demand, during provisioning pre/post checks, or through Network RPA tasks. RPA coordinates corrective work and reassessment. Git integration synchronizes CME constructs and audit policies for backup/restore; restoring an artifact is distinct from changing a device.
THE BUSINESS Value
Drive network standards and continuity.
Maintain approved multi-vendor CLI/API intent and address departures before they become security or continuity problems. Measure recurring drift, time to correction, and policy coverage. Enable Git integration to preserve and restore supported modeling and audit-policy artifacts.
WHAT DELIVERS THIS CAPABILITY
Several components.
One operational capability.
Each component has a defined role in the process. Explore the reference pages for its functions and boundaries.
Config Model Editor
Defines, previews, and provisions modeled CLI/API configuration intent.
Config Drift & Audit
Captures snapshots, detects drift, and evaluates audit policies.
Network RPA
Coordinates detection, corrective tasks, and reassessment.
Version Control
Versions supported modeling constructs and audit policies.
Device Manager
Supplies fleet context and a separate supported backup/restore path.
DIAL
Provides the maintained device-interaction foundation.
Related Capabilities

Network state assessments
Define CLI/API state checks for on-demand assessment, provisioning pre/post checks, and Network RPA tasks.
Configuration audit
Evaluate required and forbidden configuration conditions with repeatable audit policies and evidence.
Git integration
Synchronize supported constructs, audit policies, and Network RPA artifacts with Git-based repositories.
Backup & restore
Back up supported device configurations and preserve the model, policy, and process artifacts needed to operate them.
Platform Capabilities
Git integration and Version Control
Git integration is the capability; Version Control is the Gluware component that provides it for supported automation artifacts.
