I have created a basic parser using a show interface command, the parser is stored in the shared folder of the parser library and is created properly. I created a network intent for the exact same command (show interface) yet when i try to load my parser into the intent, Netbrain cannot see it. I’ve tried searching by parser name, CLI command, no matter what i do my parser is never found. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to share them!Thanks.  

I’m learning NetBrain.I recently learned how to use a variable method to perform a substring operation on a variable, ex. $Stringvar1.Substring(0,2)After discoverying that that operator worked, I tried to use a “length” method to obtain the number of characters in a string variable. Again an example is: $Stringvar1.lengthThis also worked.The next thing I want to find is a function that searches a string variable for a character or substring and returns the starting postition.The Python string methods for “find” or “index” don’t seem to function.The NetBrain function “find” doesn’t return the search pattern in the target string only a boolean value.Is there a function or method that will return the numerical position of character pattern in a string variable?

Regulatory resilience is not handled by one control, one report, or one team. For financial IT and network operations, it requires ongoing monitoring, testing, documentation, and evidence that is ready for review.DORA’s five ICT resilience pillars create ongoing operational requirements across ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, third-party oversight, and information sharing.NetBrain helps teams turn these requirements into repeatable workflows that support continuous visibility, current evidence, and audit-ready documentation.Here’s how NetBrain supports each area:ICT Risk ManagementNetBrain auto-discovers ICT assets across hybrid environments and continuously validates configurations against your intended design.ICT Incident ReportingDeep Diagnosis captures diagnostic actions in real time, with timestamped evidence that can be connected to your ITSM workflow.Digital Operational Resilience TestingScheduled and on-demand assessments help teams test resilience a

 Golden Assessment Library OverviewModern enterprise networks are too complex, dynamic, and vendor-diverse to rely on manual auditing. The Golden Assessment Library (GAL) is engineered to transform network assessment from a reactive chore into an autonomous, continuous process. The overarching mission of GAL is to proactively prevent outages and ensure optimal performance and availability across your infrastructure.  At its core, GAL provides comprehensive assessment coverage by evaluating both configuration design consistency and critical operational health indicators across the network. It establishes a unified, data-driven automation framework that provides deep, structured visibility into network health across a wide range of technologies—covering L2/L3 routing and switching, Quality of Service (QoS), High Availability (HA) redundancy, SDN/SD-WAN fabrics, and Cloud environments.  GAL is powered by two foundational capabilities: •    Assessment Rules: These continuously evaluate the

Managing CVEs across a complex network is not exactly anyone’s idea of a relaxing afternoon. Between configuration reviews, security requirements, best practices, and multi-vendor environments, it can be difficult to know what is actually exposed and what needs attention first. 🔍In this customer story, a Principal Architect and Consulting Engineer share how NetBrain helps teams support CVE management through configuration analysis, security intents, and compliance validation.With NetBrain, teams can use built-in network intents, security checks, and a rich library of common vulnerabilities to analyze configurations and identify risks that may be difficult to catch manually. NetBrain can parse device configurations, compare them against best practices, and help teams uncover potential issues before they become bigger problems.They also highlight NetBrain’s ability to support multi-vendor environments, including platforms like Juniper and Palo Alto, making it easier to apply consistent

Most network teams rely on a mix of monitoring, ITSM, IPAM, CMDB, and other tools to keep operations running. The challenge is that those tools often work in silos, leaving engineers to jump between systems just to understand what happened, where it happened, and what to do next.This article breaks down how to close that gap by connecting tools, unifying network data, and orchestrating diagnostics and resolution workflows across the toolchain.From Splunk, ServiceNow, Infoblox, Netbox, Datadog, ThousandEyes, Jira, and custom API integrations, NetBrain helps turn disconnected alerts and data into coordinated network automation.Less tool-hopping. More context. Faster action.Read the article: https://www.netbrain.com/blog/get-network-tools-to-work-together/

One of the biggest opportunities in network automation is connecting the intelligence from the tools your team already uses, then bringing that data into one place where it can be analyzed, correlated, and acted on faster.As David Mann, NetBrain’s Global VP of Services, explains, NetBrain can serve as the layer between your ITSM platform, like ServiceNow, and your NMS or other network management tools. That means information from multiple systems can flow into NetBrain, where it can be mapped, analyzed, and used to support faster root cause identification.With intent-based automation, triggered workflows, AI-driven analysis, and API integrations across different vendors, teams can correlate real-time data from multiple sources and drive quicker resolution. NetBrain can also support automated ticket generation, helping teams move from insight to action faster.  👉 Explore essential integrations for your network automation toolchain: https://www.netbrain.com/platform/network-automation-i

DORA is raising the bar for financial IT teams. It is no longer enough to have policies in place. Teams need to prove operational resilience with current, accurate, and exportable network evidence.For financial services organizations, that means evidence needs to reflect the live network, not a snapshot from the last audit cycle. This can get tricky when configuration drift happens between reviews, incident records are pulled together after the fact, or hybrid and third-party environments create visibility gaps.According to Deloitte’s European DORA survey, only 25% of surveyed financial entities feel compliant with ICT risk management. For many teams, the bigger challenge is not the policy itself. It is whether live operational evidence matches the documented control environment.NetBrain helps financial IT teams stay better prepared by providing continuous network visibility and evidence capture across ICT risk, incidents, resilience testing, and third-party oversight.Read the DORA ove

In NetBrain, we have One IP table which maintain the ip to mac mapping. I want to make observability dashboard which will highlight the alert in dashboard if ip to mac entry change for particular to ip address.Not able to find way to have one ip table data collection once day / as per our schedule and alert if changes happened.

It's been a few weeks since we launched the NetBrain Solution Library Mission Challenge, and the community has been delivering.We've had members work through missions on Post-Mortem Analysis, Transient Problem Diagnosis, Manual Workflow Transformation, Intent-Based Auto Testing, and Critical Applications Monitoring — and the feedback has been outstanding. Here's what participants are saying:"These exercises demonstrate how effectively NetBrain's runbooks, intents, and dashboards handle real-world scenarios, making troubleshooting and documentation both simpler and faster." — Manoj G."I can easily see the use of runbooks and the ability to create templates from them will increase workflow... consistent troubleshooting steps across the entire team." — Stuart T.👀 What's happening inside the sandbox this weekWe took a look at the live activity data from the past 7 days (week of April 13–20), and the missions aren't just being watched — they're being built on.This week alone, active partic
