Usage¶

You use the plugin by navigating to Plugins > Dashboard in Nautobot. Then click on Cisco ACI Data Source.

From the Cisco ACI Data Source page you can click Sync Now to begin a synchronization job and view the history of synchronization jobs.

After clicking Sync Now, you can select whether you would like to do a dry-run as well as schedule when you would like the job to run. With a dry-run, you can see what information will be brought from ACI into Nautobot without actually performing the synchronization. The job can be run immediately, scheduled to run at a later date/time, or configured to run hourly, daily, or weekly at a specified date/time.

Once you click Run Job Now, you will see the logs as the job progresses. When synchronization completes, you can click the SSoT Sync Details button to view the changes, or proposed changes, to Nautobot records.
