Tool for checking and grading configuration

Marek

Let's have troubleshooting (or even configuration) tasks. After completing each task (or all task),the tool would be able to evaluate configuration through script (based on existence of specific commands in configuration and specific command outputs) - Cisco is using something like this for evaluating/grading CCIE labs.
It would be nice to be able define through GUI, what script shoud do check.

I think for something like this we can create an interface that allows you to run python scripts (or similar) against the devices inside the lab. I think the best path would be to extend lab configurations to include, startup configurations, yaml lab instructions, and scripts.

Yaml File

Lab overview
Lab Guide with lab steps

Scripts

We could have correlation to each lab step in the lab guide where the user can run a script
We could also have a script that corrects the output for each step
- For if the user gets stuck or if the user wants to start a lab at a certain point
