Script Discrimination for Network Configuration Change Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Automating operations in large-scale telecom networks poses a risk due to the potential for network failures when changing network configurations, necessitating a method to identify and assess such changes in automation scripts.
Innovation Solution
A script discrimination apparatus and method that acquires automation scripts, determines the presence of specific keywords related to network configuration changes, and discriminates the corresponding processes, providing a degree of certainty and outputting results to either skip or confirm these changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automation scripts are used to change network configuration, then operational efficiency is improved, but the risk of network failure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of automation scripts before execution to identify configuration change processes. By detecting keywords and patterns that indicate configuration changes in advance, the system can prepare appropriate risk mitigation measures, such as validation checks or approval workflows, thereby maintaining operational efficiency while reducing network failure risk.
2Reliability
If manual review of automation scripts is performed to assess configuration changes, then risk control is improved, but operational efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual review of automation scripts with an automated analysis mechanism that uses keyword detection and pattern recognition. This mechanical substitution maintains thorough risk control by systematically identifying configuration change processes while eliminating the time-consuming manual review step, thereby preserving operational efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive analysis of automation scripts is performed, then measurement precision of configuration changes is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the critical elements from automation scripts that indicate configuration changes, such as specific keywords and patterns. By focusing on these essential indicators rather than analyzing every aspect of the scripts comprehensively, the system achieves high measurement precision in detecting configuration changes while keeping the analysis mechanism relatively simple and manageable.

AI summary
Disclosed herein is a script discrimination apparatus, comprising: a script acquisition unit configured to acquire a script for automating an operation related to operating a network; a keyword determination unit configured to determine whether or not a source code of the script acquired by the script acquisition unit includes a specific keyword that is related to a process of changing a configuration of the network; and a configuration change discrimination unit configured to discriminate, when the specific keyword is determined to be included in the script by the keyword determination unit, a process corresponding to a portion including the specific keyword from among processes described in the script acquired by the script acquisition unit as the process of changing the configuration of the network.
