The Configuration editor view is where you view and manage aspects of your NSO deployment using the underlying YANG model, for example, to configure devices, services, packages, etc.
The Configuration Editor's home page shows all the currently loaded YANG modules in NSO, i.e., the database schema. In this view, you can also browse and manage the configuration defined by the YANG modules.
All NSO configuration is performed in this view. You can edit the configuration data defined by the YANG model directly in this view or in some cases, get directed by the Web UI to this view.
An important component of Configuration Editor is the Configuration Navigator which you can use to traverse and edit the configuration defined by the YANG model in a hierarchical tree-like fashion. This provides an efficient way to browse and configure aspects of NSO. Let's say, for example, you want to access all the devices in your deployment and choose a specific one to view and configure. In the Configuration Editor, you can do this by typing in ncs:devices in the navigator, and then choosing further guided options (automatically suggested by the Web UI), e.g., ncs:devices/device/ce0/config/....
As you navigate through the Web UI, the Configuration Navigator automatically displays and updates the path you are located at.
Use the TAB key to complete the config path.
When accessing an item (e.g., a device, service, etc.) using the Configuration Editor, the following tabs are visible:
Edit Config tab, to configure the item's configuration.
Config tab, to view configured items.
Operdata tab, to view the operational data relevant to the item (e.g., last sync time, last modified time, etc).
Actions tab, to apply an action to the item with specified options/parameters.
Depending on the selection of the tabs mentioned above, you may see four additional tabs in the Configuration editor view:
Widgets tab, to view the data defined by YANG modules in different formats.
None tab.
Containers tab, to view container-specific information from the YANG model.
List tab, to view list-specific information from the YANG model.
To exit back to the home page from another path, click the home button.
Click the up arrow to go back one step to the parent node.
To fetch information about a property/component, click the info button.
