netwiz

netwiz - A powerful network visualization and monitoring platform with AI-powered assistance.

Overview

A self-healing network system that uses AI and Ansible to detect, roll back, and adjust network configurations.

Todo

• Network data structure visualization in the UI
• Device configuration retrieval via Ansible playbooks
• Version control system for device configurations
  • Tagging mechanism for stable configurations
  • Configuration history tracking
• Automated rollback functionality for failed changes

Stack

• Python
• FastAPI
• Ansible
• OpenSearch
• Docker
• React (UI)
• TypeScript

Demo Infrastructure

The demo infrastructure creates a multi-tier network topology using Docker containers:

Client (192.168.10.10) → Switch1 → Router (FRR) → Switch2 → Server (192.168.30.10:8080)

Network Architecture

• Management Network: 172.25.0.0/24 (for SSH access and control)
• Client Network: 192.168.10.0/24 (client-side network)
• Server Network: 192.168.30.0/24 (server-side network)

Containers

• Client: Test client (192.168.10.10)
• Switch1: OVS-based Layer 2 switch (SSH: port 7771)
• Router: FRR router with dual interfaces (SSH: port 7777)
  • Client-side: 192.168.10.254
  • Server-side: 192.168.30.254
• Switch2: OVS-based Layer 2 switch (SSH: port 7778)
• Server: HTTP server on port 8080 (192.168.30.10, SSH: port 7780)

Services

• collective-hackathon: 192.168.0.130
• collective-ansible: 192.168.0.131
• collective-opensearch: 192.168.0.132

Goals

• Monitor logs via OpenSearch
• Version control of configs
• Event-driven network management with AI
• End-to-end network testing and validation
