NetBrain currently returns device configuration through the API as a single, complete configuration file, with no option to retrieve only a specific portion of that configuration, such as routing protocol sections, access control lists, interface settings, or global configuration blocks. This limitation requires consumers of the API to parse the full file themselves to isolate relevant sections, adding overhead to automation and integration workflows. This enhancement proposes segmenting device configuration into logical categories aligned with common configuration areas and providing an API parameter or endpoint to retrieve a specific segment rather than the entire file. Customers building automation around configuration auditing, compliance checks, or targeted analysis would benefit from more efficient data retrieval and reduced parsing effort on their end.
