Define an Intent

You can define and configure new user-defined intents in vRealize Network Insight. After defining an intent, you can edit, delete, duplicate, enable, or deactivate the intent at any time.

Note: vRealize Network Insight supports a maximum of 1,000 intents. If you have 1,000 intents in your environment, you can not define any more intents. You must delete existing intents to define any new intents if you reach the maximum number of intents.

Procedure
