Additional out-of-the-box rule sets for the CIS compliance of Cisco devices
Network Automation includes the following out-of-the-box rule sets for the CIS compliance of Cisco devices:

- CIS Level 2 - Cisco_IOS_16_Benchmark_v1.1.1
Ability to test the rule grammar when adding a rule
Before saving and enabling a rule, test the rule grammar with different configurations. This saves the time and effort required to update the rule in case the rule grammar does not work as expected.
For more information, see Adding or editing a rule.
Ability to search the trigger and subject in different domains
Search the subject in a domain different from the trigger's domain by specifying the scope of the subject in the Scope field.
For more information, see Defining rule grammar.
Ability to upload a file to a device by attaching it to a custom action
Use the following XML elements to upload a file to a device by attaching the file to a custom action:
<deploysFile>
<deployedFilePrompt>
For more information, see Developing a custom action adapter using XML. For a sample custom action that demonstrates how to attach a file, see the out-of-the-box Install License custom action from the Network Automation UI.
Support for multiple End of Life milestone dates

Support for the systemd service manager for Linux services
The database, application server, and agent services in Network Automation are now created by using the systemd service manager. In earlier versions, these services were created by using the systemV service manager. As a result, the commands accessing the init.d files (for example, /etc/init.d/enatomat status
) no longer work. Use the systemctl commands instead (for example, systemctl status enatomcat
).
Ability to change the list of actions from the Device Details page
Select the list of actions that you want to be made available on the Device Details page.
Important
- The list of actions changes for all the devices in the system even if you change it for one device.
- The changes are preserved across sessions for a particular user in the same browser.
Ability to modify a component from the component details page
Modify a component from its details page by using the Edit option as shown in the following example:
Generate rules while importing security vulnerabilities
Generate rules and associate them with the security vulnerabilities automatically while importing the vulnerabilities by using the Enable Automatic Rule Creation option.
