Site-Level Geolocation Attribute for Automatic Device AssignmentOpen

NetBrain currently requires geolocation to be configured separately for each device through the geolocation manager, with no link to site definitions. As new devices are discovered and added to sites, they are not automatically assigned a geolocation, making it difficult to identify and update devices lacking location data, particularly across multiple domains. This enhancement would add a geolocation attribute to leaf site definitions, so that all devices belonging to a site automatically inherit that location. As site membership is refreshed during discovery, newly added devices would be assigned geolocation automatically without manual intervention. Extending the site management REST APIs to support geolocation attributes would also allow customers to automate site and geolocation setup for new domains or customers. This would reduce the manual effort required to maintain geolocation data, improve accuracy as networks scale, and simplify onboarding for customers managing many sites and domains.

AWS Organization-Level Discovery SupportAvailable

NetBrain currently requires administrators to configure discovery for each AWS account individually, with no capability to discover resources across an entire AWS Organization from a single configuration point. This enhancement would add native support for AWS Organization-level discovery, allowing administrators to provide organization-level credentials or a cross-account role so that all member accounts under the organization are automatically enumerated and included in discovery scope. Customers managing large multi-account AWS environments would benefit from simplified onboarding and complete visibility into their cloud infrastructure without manually configuring discovery for each individual account.

Driver option to retrieve full configuration via 'show running-config all' for Cisco IOS, Router, and SD-WAN devicesAvailable

NetBrain's discovery and benchmark drivers for Cisco IOS Switch, Cisco Router, and Cisco SD-WAN Router devices currently issue the standard 'show running-config' command, which does not return default or implicit configuration parameters that some configuration assessment workflows require. This enhancement would introduce a driver option to retrieve configuration using 'show running-config all' instead, configurable so that it persists reliably across patches and upgrades and does not affect other tenants or customers in shared environments. Customers who rely on configuration assessment rule sets that depend on complete configuration detail, including default values, would benefit from consistent and accurate results without needing manual driver modifications after each upgrade.

Geographic Location Mapping for Network DevicesIn Development

NetBrain currently does not support placing devices on a geographic map based on their physical location. This enhancement would introduce geolocation-based mapping, allowing devices to be plotted on a map view similar to common mapping applications, using location coordinates or address data associated with each device. Customers with geographically dispersed infrastructure, such as devices mounted on remote poles or field sites, would gain improved visibility into the physical distribution of their network assets.

Display Actual Intent Name in Task ManagerIn Development

Task Manager currently displays an internal, system-generated process identifier for tasks triggered by Network Intents, rather than the actual Intent name, making it difficult for administrators to identify which Intent is associated with a running or scheduled task. This enhancement would update Task Manager to display the actual Intent name for Intent-triggered tasks in place of the internal identifier. Providing this visibility would allow administrators to more efficiently monitor, troubleshoot, and manage scheduled and running tasks without needing to cross-reference internal naming conventions.

Output-Based Command Completion Detection for Change Management ExecutionIn Development

The Change Management execution node currently sends commands at a fixed time interval, or waits out a configured sleep timer, without evaluating whether the prior command has actually finished executing based on its output. This approach is unreliable for long-running operations, such as large file uploads or unzip operations during device image upgrades, where actual completion time can vary significantly and exceed a fixed wait period. This enhancement would introduce execution logic that inspects command output to determine whether a command has completed before issuing the next one, similar to behavior already used by device drivers. This would reduce failed or incomplete command sequences during long-running change operations and remove the need for administrators to manually tune sleep timers to accommodate worst-case execution durations.

Compare outputs of two different CLI commands across multiple devicesOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to run two different CLI commands, such as a startup configuration command and a running configuration command, against one or more devices and directly compare their outputs. Users must rely on the compare module for comparing results of the same command over time, which does not support comparing two distinct commands side by side. This enhancement would allow users to select two different CLI commands and one or more target devices, then generate a side-by-side comparison of the results. This capability would help network administrators quickly identify configuration drift between running and startup configurations, or between any two related commands, without manual cross-referencing.

Scheduled Email Delivery for Inventory ReportsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently allows Inventory Reports to be generated and exported manually, but does not provide an option to schedule recurring generation with automatic email delivery. This enhancement would add a scheduling capability for Inventory Reports, allowing users to configure recurring runs (such as daily or weekly) with results automatically emailed to designated recipients. Customers who rely on Inventory Reports for ongoing asset and compliance tracking would benefit from reduced manual effort and more consistent access to up-to-date data.

Additional Status Color Options for Observability Dashboard WidgetsOn the Roadmap

Observability dashboards currently support only two status colors, green and red, to indicate condition states such as end-of-support timelines. This limits the ability to represent intermediate risk levels, such as an upcoming end-of-support date within a defined window. This enhancement would introduce additional configurable color options, such as yellow or orange, allowing status thresholds to be defined across multiple stages rather than a binary state. Customers tracking lifecycle or compliance timelines would gain a clearer, more actionable view of upcoming risk without relying on manual reporting outside the platform.

Per-Device Variable Mapping for Configuration ScriptsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain configuration scripts today do not support a variable whose underlying value can differ by device while keeping the script logic uniform; when interface naming or other configuration elements vary across device types (for example, mgmt0 versus vlan161, or vendor-specific interface naming conventions), engineers must create separate scripts for each variation rather than a single reusable template. This enhancement would allow users to define a global variable and map it to distinct values for each device or device group, then reference that variable within a configuration script so the script automatically resolves to the correct value at execution time. Customers managing large, heterogeneous device fleets would be able to build standardized change templates that account for non-standard configurations across devices, reducing the need to maintain and distribute multiple versions of the same script.

Collapsible Device Groups on MapOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently allows devices to be organized into groups on a map, but the grouped devices remain individually displayed, which can make large or complex maps difficult to read. This enhancement would allow a device group to be collapsed into a single representative icon or box, with the option to expand it back to view the individual member devices. Providing this capability would improve readability of large topology maps and allow users to focus on relevant sections of the network without visual clutter from unrelated device groupings.

Automatic Layout Optimization to Minimize Crossing Links on Site MapsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not optimize device positioning on site maps to reduce the number of crossing links, which can make maps with many connections difficult to read. This enhancement would introduce a layout algorithm that automatically arranges devices to minimize link crossings when a map is generated or refreshed. Customers managing large or densely connected site maps would benefit from clearer, more readable topology views without manual repositioning.

Dynamic Group Reference for Device Group Exclusion CriteriaOn the Roadmap

Device Group exclusion criteria currently only support a static list of manually selected devices, which does not update when the referenced source group's membership changes. This requires administrators to manually re-open dependent groups and adjust the exclusion list whenever devices are added or removed from the excluded group, creating ongoing maintenance overhead and risk of drift between groups. This enhancement would allow a Device Group's exclusion criteria to reference another Device Group directly as a live object rather than a static device list. When the referenced group's membership changes, the dependent group's computed membership would update automatically on next evaluation. Customers managing groups with overlapping or conditional membership requirements would benefit from reduced manual maintenance and improved accuracy in group-based access, compliance, or reporting workflows.

Global Default Setting for Site Map Layout and Link VisibilityOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently requires administrators to manually configure map layout and link visibility settings, such as switching to a downward tree layout or hiding Layer 2 links, on a site-by-site basis. In environments with a large number of sites, this manual process is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency across the site map hierarchy. This enhancement would introduce a global, admin-configurable setting that allows a defined map layout style and link visibility rules to be applied consistently across all site maps at once, rather than requiring individual site-level adjustments. This reduces manual configuration effort, ensures visual consistency across large site map hierarchies, and lowers the administrative burden for customers managing extensive network topologies.

Mask Sensitive Password Values in Retrieved Device ConfigurationsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently retrieves and stores device configuration data without masking password-type values that may appear in clear text or reversible form, such as bind-password entries found in some device configurations. This exposes sensitive credential information to anyone with access to the retrieved configuration data. This enhancement would mask or redact password-type values within configuration retrieval output, consistent with how such values are protected elsewhere in the product, helping customers reduce credential exposure risk and meet security and compliance requirements around sensitive data handling.

Display successful path branch first in multi-branch path resultsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain path calculation currently does not prioritize the display order of multiple path branches, so a successful branch may appear after failed or incomplete branches in the results. This enhancement would reorder the presentation of path branches so that a successful branch is listed first, ahead of any failed branches. Customers troubleshooting connectivity issues would be able to identify the working path more quickly, reducing the time spent reviewing unsuccessful branches before finding the relevant result.

Detailed Usage Logging for Chat Bot Automation ExecutionsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide detailed usage logs for Chat Bot interactions, leaving administrators without visibility into which user triggered a given automation, which automation was executed, or how frequently it was run. This enhancement would introduce a logging capability that records Chat Bot usage details, including the initiating user, the automation invoked, and execution frequency. Customers would gain improved auditability and oversight of Chat Bot activity, supporting governance and troubleshooting of automation usage across their teams.

Site Manager and Site Map Visibility for ACI SDN DevicesOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not surface ACI SDN-discovered devices within Site Manager or Site Maps according to the site definition, limiting visibility into how these devices fit within the broader site topology. This enhancement would extend Site Manager and Site Map functionality to recognize and display ACI discovered devices under their associated sites. Customers managing ACI environments would gain a unified view of site-based topology that includes SDN devices alongside traditional network devices, improving overall network visibility and reducing the need for separate tracking methods.

Search Support for Layer 2 (Non-Routable) MAC AddressesOn the Roadmap

NetBrain search currently allows users to locate a MAC address only when it is associated with a Layer 3 interface; MAC addresses learned solely at Layer 2, such as entries found in a switch's MAC address table for non-routable segments, cannot be located through search. This enhancement proposes extending the search functionality to also query Layer 2 MAC address table data, so that a MAC address can be found regardless of whether it is tied to an L3 interface or exists only in an L2 forwarding table. This would allow customers to quickly locate the switch and port associated with a given MAC address without manually running CLI commands, improving troubleshooting efficiency in L2-only network segments.

Dynamic API-populated dropdown options for QApp input parametersOn the Roadmap

QApp input dialogs currently support only static, pre-defined dropdown lists for parameter selection, with no mechanism to refresh the available options from an external data source before the QApp runs. This enhancement would allow a QApp input to call an API at runtime to retrieve a current set of selectable values, populate the dropdown with those items, and let the user choose one before execution. Customers whose valid input values change frequently would be able to select accurate, up-to-date options without manually editing the QApp definition each time the underlying list changes, reducing maintenance effort and the risk of running a QApp against stale input values.

Image and Configuration Management Support for Digi and GE Cellular Router DevicesOpen

NetBrain currently does not support image management or configuration management workflows for certain cellular router and gateway device models, limiting visibility and control over these devices within the platform. This enhancement would extend image management and configuration management capabilities to cover additional device types, including popular cellular gateway and router models, so administrators can manage firmware images and configurations consistently across their network estate. Extending this support would allow customers with mixed-vendor environments, including critical infrastructure operators, to maintain a unified change and configuration management process without manual workarounds for unsupported device types.

Accurate DNS Hostname Resolution in OneIP TableOn the Roadmap

The OneIP Table does not always reflect the correct DNS-resolved hostname for an IP address, even when a direct DNS lookup against the configured DNS server returns accurate results. This enhancement would ensure the OneIP Table consistently uses the current DNS resolution for hostname display rather than relying on outdated or mismatched data. Customers depend on the OneIP Table for accurate identification of endpoints, and correct hostname resolution reduces confusion and manual verification during troubleshooting.
