Enhancement to Impact Analysis Feature

The Impact Analysis feature has been enhanced to provide information about additional anomalies. When an Apstra Edge device is onboarded, the Impact Analysis feature helps detect anomalies in the data center network with the help of predefined IBA probes. It displays detailed information about the key anomalies along with a list of their associated anomalies, symptoms, affected devices, interfaces, services, Virtual Networks, and VRFs on the Anomalies tab on the Impact Analysis page. This enables you to quickly identify the root cause of an issue and resolve it, thus reducing the mean time to resolution (MTTR).
