Give EVE a Northbound API?

Post by WillowWyatt » Sat May 07, 2022 11:11 pm

Currently, we're all busy with network automation. At least I am
The beauty of virtual environments is that it is flexible. You can test your code on network devices without all the physical activities.

Also you can do versioning with your lab state.

Wouldn't it be great to give EVE an API so you can use scripting to let EVE build you a network with state X.

You can then automate your test environment

I got inspired by a Cisco Techwise video. they introduced NetOps in a nice way.
When they commit their scripting, as part of the test process, they'll launch a virtual network from scratch in VIRL
Then their scripting will be tested after the virtual network has been converged. When the test is successful the lab shuts down again. And the commit is approved.

It is ready to be tested on physical hardware.

It will have a huge potential. And it will be a killer feature for the network automation world.

Please give us an programmable interface besides HTML to control EVE.

Wouldn't it be neat if we had an API for EVE that would let you script the game so that your network is in a certain state?

If you are doing an asynchronous read or call back you should also use a connection monitor ExceptionListener to be notified when the connection drops, cleanly remove the MQ resources and reacquire them.

At all I do not know, as to tell...
