System and Method to Provide Network Insights for Correct and Efficient Network Configuration

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to provide an augmented editor interface function, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication, from a graphical user interface presenting the augmented editor, that a parameter value associated with a network device configuration file for a first network device has been identified for update;
• determining possible valid completion values for the parameter value based on information in a network configuration data repository containing information about the first network device and other devices within a network configuration domain that includes the first device;
• providing information regarding possible valid completion values for the parameter value to the graphical user interface for display in a window of the graphical user interface;
• and
• receiving an indication that the parameter value has been updated with a new parameter value.

A computer system, comprising:

• a network communications interface;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more processing units, communicatively coupled to the memory and the network communications interface, wherein the memory stores instructions, that when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to provide an augmented editor function, the augmented editor function configured to:
• receive an indication, from a graphical user interface presenting the augmented editor, that a parameter value associated with a network device configuration file for a first network device has been identified for update;
• determine possible valid completion values for the parameter value based on information in a network configuration data repository containing information about the first network device and other devices within a network configuration domain that includes the first device;
• provide information regarding possible valid completion values for the parameter value to the graphical user interface for display in a window of the graphical user interface;
• and
• receive an indication that the parameter value has been updated with a new parameter value.
