There are two different methods for accessing the Network Settings that are inconsistentOpen

We have identified an inconsistency within the application's Network Settings interface. Although the application provides two distinct methods for accessing Network Settings, the functionality presented through each method is not aligned.Method 1: Network Settings via Navigation MenuAccessing Network Settings through the navigation menu displays the following expected columns:Alias SNMP Version SNMP String Device CountDuring device discovery in this view, newly detected devices do not automatically sort to the top of the list. Users must manually right‑click a device and move it upward, which can significantly increase workload when handling a large number of discovered devices.Method 2: Network Settings via Discovery PageWhen navigating to the Discovery Page and selecting Networking under the Discover Devices via SNMP/CLI section, a pop‑up window is displayed. This pop‑up includes an Enable column that is not available in the interface accessed through the navigation menu. This additional column introduces functionality that is inconsistent with the first method. The two access points for Network Settings present differing layouts and capabilities. The absence of the Enable column in the first method and its exclusive presence in the second method creates usability gaps and may lead to inconsistent configuration of discovered devices. To ensure a unified and efficient user experience, alignment of functionality across both access methods is recommended. Recommended ActionsStandardize Interface Elements Across Both Access MethodsEnsure that both Network Settings interfaces display the same set of columns, including the Enable column, Alias, SNMP Version, SNMP String, and Device Count. This will reduce confusion and provide consistent configuration options regardless of entry point.Implement Automatic Device SortingIntroduce functionality that automatically sorts newly discovered devices to the top of the list in both methods. This enhancement will improve efficiency, especially when processing large numbers of devices during discovery.

Dynamic Device Discovery Tab/Window - and/or Multiple Manual DiscoveriesOpen

I would like to request that the “Discovery Window” not to be “locked” into the currently running Discovery (it would also be nice if we could run multiple manual discoveries at a time, instead of having to wait for the current discovery process to finish). When you’re running a manual discovery, of thousands of devices that takes hours to run, it would be nice to be able to open a new “Discovery” tab/window and be able to open discovery history to look at previous results and such, it would be even better if we could run multiple “manual discoveries” at the same time.  If the “current discovery” window gets closed, there could be a “link” to re-open the current discovery process to view how it is going.

probe Windows and Unix endpoints and use their data for map calculations to support end-to-end troubleshootingOpen

It will be very helpful if NetBrain can probe endpoint devices similar to how it probe network switches/routes.Useful data from the endpoints will be things like Interface, Ipconfig/ifconfig, route table, etc.Utilization metrics is also good, but even if we only have configuration data, it will be very help for end-to-end troubleshooting.In one of the recent incident meeting I went to...we found that the server is missing static route and therefore, the specific application traffic is being send out the default route interface.   For this case, we will not be able to see that on NetBrain bcoz it doesn’t calculate the path considering the route table on the endpoints.Based on what I can see on NetBrain 101 and 102 class, I think all the basic data concept are there …. configuration, interface, route tables, etc etc…… if we can get NetBrain to SSH to Unix servers to run some CLI commands (and remote execute powershell CLI commands on Windows servers) … I think we can have all the necessary config/data on NetBrain.If NetBrain can extent the discovery and mapping to endpoints with some configuration details, I think it will become a even more popular tools for troubleshooting.   It will certainly be my go-to tools… and I will be recommending it to all the customer supporting by our company (Kyndryl).If you need a co-create / pilot account, let me know and I will be happy to participate.Thanks.

Create Device 'Links'Open

Create a device ‘Link’ which can be used for external applications to allow ‘Linking’ to a specific NetBrain Map & Device.For example: Say I have an Excel spreadsheet (such as an Inventory Report) or Visio network diagram which shows a device. I’d like it to create a ‘link’ to that same device in NetBrain, such that following the link causes the appropriate map to open, centered on that specific device, with a default Zoom level of xxx%.This would aid in wider adoption of users who use more rudimentary tools like Visio, Excel or CAD to bring NetBrain into their ‘daily use’ tools.

Change module send "enter"Open

I would like to ask you to consider to add option to send "enter" in change module.Currently if there is in change an enter - empty line, it ignores the line. If I put there 1 space character it works in some cases, but not for the other.For example I want to delete username some cisco switches ask for confirmation to delete username. It is accepted "enter" or "y". But the some other models don't ask for confirmation, so if I use "y" the change is consider as invalid, because such command doesn't exist.Would be good to be able to send just enter (a new line) without extra characters.Case: #00180463

Statistics 'Totals' like in MS ExcelOpen

Within ‘Device Details’, in the ‘CLI Commands’ tab, provide ‘Totalization’ statistics, such as ‘Total Up Up’ ports, or ‘Total Connected’ and ‘Total NotConnect’, or ‘Total Number of Unique VLANs Used’, depending on the CLI Command being used.This could also be done in other tabs, such as the Data Tables for data such as the number of table entries.Include these totals as part of the ‘Reports’ statistics for Summary Reports, Device Reports, etc.

Access to golden parameter from NIOpen

Use case:I am creating golden config rule to see if last resort password is configured in configuration. As the password is encrypted I am not comparing entire config line. As the password is different per location I am using Golden Base Parameter.example:username lastort1username lastort2 Now, I want to create network intent where I want to build entire config.example:Return from Golden config check is, that “lastort1” is configured, but lastort2 not.I want to check if username from golden base parameter is included in “Unused_patternt_lines” and create entire command including username and password. Username and password should be from golden parameter. Could you please add option to access from network intent to golden base parameter so I can use it for this use case?Case: 00179517

Tool Tips for AcronymsOpen

Consider adding ‘Tool Tips’ to parts of NetBrain screens that utilize acronyms. For example: in Device Details, there are 5 acronyms related to the various ‘device tables’ available. I don’t typically use some of these, so the acronym becomes un-useful to me, as I can’t recall what it is. I’ve got a whole dictionary of ‘Other’ three-letter-acronyms to keep track of, so having a ‘Tool Tip’ that pops up after say 2 or 3 seconds would be useful.The same could also be done for MAC Addresses, whereby a ‘Mouse Over’ hover that lasted say 2-3 seconds would trigger a MAC Address (Media Access Control Address) OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) -- See there’s another couple) lookup using site lookups or API calls from sites such as:https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html https://macaddress.io/ https://www.macvendorlookup.com/api https://macvendors.com/ https://maclookup.app/api-v2/documentationThis would save time, and maintain the ‘flow’ of staying within NetBrain, and would be a very helpful addition. :-)

Align the behavior across different types of Runbook nodesOpen

After several runs each node is able to store several versions of results. So far in Execute CLI Commands nodes we’re able to see a timeline and able to compare the results within that node. But for certain other node types such as Retrieve Live Data, it seems that we’re not able to do the same. Is it possible to align the behavior across different kinds of nodes?
