About this document

The Event Driven Automation (EDA) User Guide describes the system's core graphical user interface (GUI) and its use to configure and manage resources. It provides some information about EDA's purpose, a brief summary of its architectural components and central concepts, and includes administration concepts and procedures for maintaining EDA and the network elements it can manage.

Many of the capabilities of EDA are provided by individual applications that can be installed, updated, or uninstalled independently of the core EDA software. For details about those capabilities, see the documentation for individual applications.

This document is intended for network technicians, administrators, operators, service providers, and others who use EDA.

Note: This manual covers the current release and may also contain some content that will be released in later maintenance loads. See the EDA Release Notes for information about features supported in each load.
