Multi-Device Collapsing Config Diff #825

Open rifen opened 2 hours ago

rifen commented 2 hours ago

Environment

I'd like to be able to select a certain amount of devices and see all of their config diffs and if they all have the same diff then they would combine or not. It could be shown in Config Plans as a button with a popup of all the devices in the plan and/or Configuration Overview I could select the devices (probably a bulk action) and get a collapsing diff view of them all.

I want to deploy a bunch of configs to a lot of devices and I want to check what is going on with all the devices. Selecting each device 1 by 1 is not scalable and adds a lot of engineer time.

Figmaed (Figma'd?) a quick example: image

Yea, certainly agreed, this was on our original design spec, but did not make MVP (along with many other features). Another relevant one was the ability to understand when the changes are the same, e.g. if there was a hash value associated with the change and ideally a filter, to filter out one hash value at a time.

A good example of that: https://aeolun.github.io/react-diff-viewer-continued/ though not working in React in this case :)

hmm, that just looks like a diff viewer, which we already have in bootstrap: https://demo.nautobot.com/plugins/golden-config/golden-config/d200ff18-ef93-449b-b75e-301e948aaf50/compliance/

not sure what you are suggesting we are comparing?
