Exam JN0-481 Topic 6 Question 89 Discussion

Intent-based analytics (IBA) is a feature of Juniper Apstra that allows you to combine intent from the network design with current and historic data from devices to reason about the network at- large.
IBA has the following characteristics:
It is a real-time information processing pipeline. This means that IBA can ingest, process, and analyze large amounts of data from devices in real time, using agents and probes.
Agents are software components that collect data from devices and send them to the Apstra server.
Probes are user-defined queries that aggregate data across devices and generate advanced data that can be more easily reasoned about.
It is used to establish network performance baselines. This means that IBA can use the advanced data to measure and monitor the network performance against the expected outcomes and service levels.
IBA can also use the historic data to create baselines that represent the normal behavior and state of the network.
It alerts the network operator when network performance moves away from the baseline. This means that IBA can detect and report any anomalies or deviations from the baseline or the intent in the network.
IBA can also provide insights and recommendations for troubleshooting and resolving the issues.
