MSP: Capturing information about an SDWAN prior to deployment

What does anyone use to document the desired configuration of site/s prior to jumping on the Dashboard?

 

In order to ensure a smooth transition to any new network, documenting the current and target configuration is often invaluable. 

 

I'm looking for a tool that has structure, can be shared with customers and 3rd parties, is version-controlled and centralised, something which can provide some input validation for things like IP addresses and duplicate information like the same VLAN twice... in a perfect world the data can be taken and provisioning automated directly (we have an automation tool already). I would like something which is guided and prompts users to complete config elements.

 

Desperately hoping to avoid Excel due to the lack of a native validation for IP addressing amongst other things.

Kind of a big deal

Not directly what you need, but I think it could all be done with NetBox:

For the Automation, an API is available. But the system is also quite complex ...
