    Add global variable type "table" into NIOpen

    I would like to suggest to consider to add variable type "table" under global variables the same way as we have it under local variables.Use case: For auto-remediation I would like to store all the change information within a table.Then the action "Remediation" I would like to use under NI diagnosis where I will be able to select which "change template" I will use for remediation.Case: 00183922

    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.

    FortiGate firewall discovery via FortiManager APIOpen

    I noticed, that in NetBrain we have build in API for FortiManager. I tried to add our FortiGate manager there, but I found out, that it's not supporting discovery of firewalls. Could you please consider adding support for firewall discovery using existing FortiManager API?Case: 00180683

    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?

    Schedule "Run&Publish" for golden feature and Golden intentOpen

    Use case:We have scheduled weekly Auto discovery. So, the device count is changing over the time. At the same time I use ADT as a source for Golden Intent checks.Each time the number devices change or there is an update in ADT that is source for golden intent I need to Run & Publish either only for golden intent or for both golden feature and golden intent.I would like to have some automation to reflect in change of number of devices or ADT source table.I would like to ask to consider this feature.Created NetBrain Case #00177886

    Get result of "golden intent" into NIOpen

    Show Data AgeAvailable

    When devices and data/data views are presented on a map, noboday can see how old the data of the Current Baseline is. The only thing I can do, to my knowledge, is to pop out the configuration of a device and in the new window the Last Execution Time will be shown.When showing a path, it might happen that for some or all devices the Current Baseline is based on obsolete data because for some reasons devices were unreachable or data could not be polled.I would like to have a data view that will show the date of the data. Eitheras a note to each device showing the last execution time or a note in the corner of the map showing the date range of all data that was usedA button would be great to activate and hide this view so as not to clutter up the map.

    Change runbook on 1 clickOpen

    I have push back from management, that capability of change runbook are not real automation as there is manual intervention needed in each step of the runbook node.I would like to have runbook, where I can create step of nodes, where I will define benchmarks before and after. I want to have a node with pre-check, for example Qapp to test if it’s safe to proceed with implementation of change. Only if the test is passed the change part would be executed.The use case is to run IOS upgrade with defined runbook, that can be executed on 1 click

    Add option to ignore data in compare node of a runbookOpen

    In runbook is a node, that have capabilities to compare benchmarks. I would like to add option to ignore information like: uptime from cisco show version, or interface statistics from show interface commands, so I can compare only relevant information.Or there should be option to show only the table compare. For example if in benchmark I select, that I want device information, the compare should compare only information in the table and not directly the source commands.

    Create a group from devices, that NetBrain fails to accessOpen

    Under: Domain Management/Data Accuracy ResolutionI can see “groups of devices” where for example: Last CLI configuration Retrieval Failed, SNMP configuration Devices.I would like to create access group from entire category. At the moment there is option to add devices one by one, what doesn’t scale well.There is option to export export list of devices list, but when I want to import this list to make device group it doesn’t work. I would like to have either:1.) button under each category to add all devices into a group2.) have export to CSV in Domain Management/Data Accuracy Resolution have compatible with import of devices in device group.
