Abstract
A method is described that involves receiving configuration information from one or more network services within a network. This information includes configuration descriptions of rules which are configured on the respective services. The method then analyzes the configuration information for the network services and presents identified rules on the respective services that have similar intents together in a group within a user interface. If an input is received to expand the group, the method presents similar rules proximate to the group with a suggestion to modify the similar rule to correspond to the identified rules. The method then determines a configuration update for the network service on which the similar rule is configured to apply a change to the similar rule, making it correspond to the identified rules. The method can then transmit the configuration updates to each of the network services within the network.
