Crosswork API: Cisco Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights provides a robust set of APIs that allow it to be integrated with other tools you use to manage and configure your network.
For more details on the product APIs, see the Cisco Crosswork Network Automation API Documentation on Cisco DevNet.
Cisco WAE: Cisco WAN Automation Engine (Cisco WAE) providers supply traffic and topology analysis to Cisco Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights. The foundation software is Cisco WAE Planning, which provides a cross-sectional view of traffic, topology, and equipment state.
Cisco NSO: Cisco Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights uses Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (Cisco NSO) as the default provider to configure the devices according to their
expected functions, including configuring any required model-driven telemetry (MDT) sensor paths for data collection. Cisco
NSO is vital in supplying device management and configuration-maintenance services.
Crosswork Active Topology: Cisco Crosswork Active Topology enables visualization of topology and services on logical and geographical maps.
Crosswork Optimization Engine: Cisco Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights uses instances of Cisco Crosswork Optimization Engine to provide real-time network optimization allowing operators to effectively
maximize network utilization as well as increase service velocity.
Crosswork Zero Touch Provisioning: Cisco Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights works with Crosswork Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to allow users to bring up devices quickly and easily using a Cisco-certified
software image and a day-zero software configuration of the customer's choice. Once provisioned in this way, the new device
is onboarded to the Crosswork device inventory (and, if it is configured as a Crosswork Provider, to Cisco NSO), where it
can be monitored and managed like other devices.
Syslog Server: Cisco Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights interacts with syslog server to parse the syslog events from devices in recognized formats (RFC5424 and RFC3164).
