NetBrain currently does not provide visibility into which automation assets (QApp, Network Intelligence, DVT, GApp) depend on a given parser, nor does it propagate a parser name change to those dependent assets automatically. As a result, renaming or modifying a parser can break dependent automation, requiring users to manually locate and update each affected asset individually. This enhancement would add the ability to view all dependent automation assets before a parser change is made, automatically update references when a parser name changes, and optionally load a copy of a parser into an automation asset to avoid unintended modification of the shared original. Adding version control for parsers is also proposed to support tracking and reverting changes over time. These capabilities would reduce manual maintenance effort and prevent unexpected automation failures for customers managing interdependent parser and automation libraries.
