Approval Bypass for Non-Service-Impacting Changes in Change ManagementAvailable

NetBrain's Change Management module currently requires an approval step for every change task regardless of whether the change is classified as service-impacting or non-service-impacting, which can delay routine maintenance activities that carry minimal risk. This enhancement would allow administrators to designate certain change templates or tasks as non-service-impacting and permit those changes to be executed without requiring approval, while retaining the approval requirement for changes that carry service impact. Reducing unnecessary approval overhead for low-risk, routine changes would allow teams to execute maintenance work more efficiently while preserving governance controls for changes that carry higher risk.

Unified Task Manager View for All Scheduled Job TypesAvailable

The Task Manager page in System Management currently only displays scheduled Discovery and Benchmark jobs, and this view cannot be sorted by last run time. Scheduled QApp, DVT/Parser, and Plugin jobs are not visible in this same interface, making it difficult for administrators to get a complete picture of all scheduled activity. This enhancement proposes expanding the Task Manager to list all scheduled job types, including QApp, DVT/Parser, Plugin, Benchmark, and Discovery, in a single consolidated table. The table should support sorting by last run time and allow administrators to pause individual jobs. This would give administrators a centralized way to review and manage scheduled workloads, which is particularly valuable when planning system upgrades or maintenance windows that require pausing scheduled activity in advance.

Ansible Tower Integration for Change ManagementAvailable

NetBrain's Change Management module currently integrates with Ansible worker servers but does not support direct integration with Ansible Tower. Customers whose Ansible Tower sits above their worker servers cannot call worker servers directly, and must rely on custom API-based workarounds to interact with Tower instead of using the Change Management module natively. This enhancement would add native Change Management support for Ansible Tower as an integration target, allowing jobs to be executed against Tower directly rather than through underlying worker servers. Direct Tower integration would remove the need for custom adapters, streamline playbook execution, and provide the execution and reporting data that customers use to demonstrate automation efficiency, cost savings, and time savings to leadership.

Latest Diagnosis Displayed First in ServiceNow Automation SectionAvailable

NetBrain's ServiceNow Automation section currently lists diagnosis entries without prioritizing the most recent result, requiring users to scroll through the list to locate the latest diagnosis. This enhancement would reorder the automation section so that the most recent diagnosis appears at the top. Surfacing the latest diagnosis first would reduce the time support teams spend reviewing current findings during incident triage.

granular access rights to Public filesAvailable

Hello, is there any way available in NetBrain how to define some granular access rights to Public file folders?I’d like to give some users write access to some folders while others would be able only to read.Something like standard Unix file system, e.g.So far I understand a user needs to get the Domain Management privilege to be able to modify any Public file/folder.But then he is authorized to modify ANY public file/folder.This is not flexible enough.Possibly something like Device Access Policy would be available, at least? Thanks,Milan

Accurate DNS Hostname Resolution in OneIP TableAvailable

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.

Site-Level Geolocation Attribute for Automatic Device AssignmentAvailable

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.

REST API Support for Triggering Change Management, Runbook, and QApp ExecutionAvailable

NetBrain's REST API currently does not provide a method to programmatically trigger full execution of a Change Management task, Runbook, Network Intent, or QApp. Existing API capabilities support limited data retrieval scenarios but do not extend to initiating a complete change or automation workflow. This enhancement would introduce REST API endpoints that allow external systems to trigger execution of Change Management tasks, Runbooks, Network Intents, and QApps directly, supporting both change-module-governed and standalone runbook execution paths. Customers integrating NetBrain with ticketing, orchestration, or monitoring platforms would gain the ability to fully automate network change processes, such as device upgrades, without requiring manual initiation through the NetBrain user interface.

Discovery and Mapping Support for AWS Cloud WANAvailable

NetBrain currently does not support discovery and mapping of AWS Cloud WAN, a managed wide-area networking service used to interconnect cloud and on-premises networks. This enhancement would add native discovery, modeling, and topology mapping capabilities for AWS Cloud WAN resources, consistent with existing support for other AWS networking constructs. Customers migrating from AWS Transit Gateway to Cloud WAN would gain complete visibility into their evolving network architecture without relying on manual workarounds.

Site or Map-Scoped L2/L3 Topology RecalculationAvailable

NetBrain currently recalculates L2 and L3 topology through a full nightly rebuild process, which can take several hours to complete across the entire network. Customers who make localized network changes, such as re-cabling a switch connection in a single office, must wait for the next full topology cycle before the updated connectivity is reflected in health checks and maps. This enhancement would introduce the ability to trigger an on-demand topology recalculation scoped to a selected site or map, rather than requiring a full network rebuild. Providing a targeted recalculation option would let customers validate recent physical or logical changes quickly, reducing wait time and improving the accuracy of near-real-time health monitoring.

Data Source Indicator for CLI vs. SNMP Retrieved Tables in Benchmark LogsAvailable

NetBrain currently does not indicate, within Benchmark logs, whether a retrieved table such as a routing table was collected via CLI or SNMP. This makes it difficult to determine the data source during troubleshooting, and the only available workaround is to disable the SNMP routing feature in the driver to force CLI-based retrieval. This enhancement would add a clear indicator or filter within Benchmark logs to distinguish CLI-retrieved tables from SNMP-retrieved ones. Customers troubleshooting data discrepancies would benefit from faster identification of the retrieval method without modifying driver configurations.

Automated Relevance Analysis and Asset Generation for New Devices in Golden Assessment LibraryAvailable

NetBrain currently requires users to manually run the 'analyze relevance' and 'generate assets' steps within the Golden Assessment Library each time a new device needs to be evaluated against golden assessment rules. This enhancement would introduce automated detection of newly discovered devices along with an automatic trigger of the relevance analysis and asset generation process, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Customers managing large or dynamic environments would benefit from consistent, up-to-date assessment coverage as new devices are added, reducing administrative overhead and the risk of gaps in compliance monitoring.

Discovery Support for F5 BIG-IP r-Series (r5600) PlatformAvailable

NetBrain's discovery and benchmark drivers for F5 BIG-IP devices have been validated primarily against the i-Series platform, and support status for the newer r-Series hardware, such as the BIG-IP r5600, is not clearly documented or confirmed. This enhancement would validate and formally support F5 BIG-IP r-Series devices as Discovery targets, including any driver adjustments needed to accommodate architectural differences from the i-Series line. Customers replacing end-of-support i-Series hardware with r-Series platforms would benefit from confirmed compatibility and continuity of Discovery and data retrieval without unexpected gaps.

Standardized CLI-Based Configuration Benchmarking Regardless of Discovery MethodAvailable

NetBrain currently benchmarks device configuration using whichever method was used for discovery, so devices discovered via API do not have configuration data collected through CLI. This results in inconsistent configuration data formats across the device inventory, which limits the ability to process device configuration data through downstream systems that expect a standardized format, such as large language model based analysis. This enhancement would add an option to benchmark device configuration via CLI regardless of the discovery method used, ensuring all devices produce configuration data in a consistent format. Customers using AI-driven or automated analysis workflows would benefit from uniform, predictable configuration data across their entire device inventory.

Downloadable CVE Update Package for Offline DeploymentsAvailable

NetBrain currently relies on a live NIST integration to retrieve and update CVE data, which cannot be used by deployments that have no internet access, even through a proxy. As a result, offline customers have no supported way to keep their CVE assessments current. This enhancement would provide a downloadable CVE data package that customers can manually transfer to an offline environment and upload into their NetBrain platform to refresh CVE assessments. This would allow customers operating in fully isolated networks to maintain up-to-date vulnerability assessments and meet ongoing security and compliance requirements without requiring direct internet connectivity.

Publish Comprehensive MCP Server DocumentationAvailable

NetBrain currently does not provide finalized, published documentation covering MCP Server setup, configuration, and usage for AI assistant integration, leaving customers without a clear reference for implementation. This enhancement would deliver comprehensive MCP documentation, including installation steps, configuration guidance, and usage instructions, as part of the standard online help and user guide materials. Customers integrating AI assistants through MCP would benefit from consistent, authoritative guidance that reduces onboarding time and reliance on direct support contact.

Auto-Update and Verify Device Group Membership in Golden Config DiscoveryAvailable

Within Golden Config Discovery, the device groups used for applying configuration and features do not automatically update when new devices are added to the environment, requiring manual intervention to keep group membership current. Additionally, when new devices are incorporated, the process only applies configuration to them without performing verification, which leaves administrators without confirmation that the applied configuration is correct. This enhancement proposes that Golden Config Discovery automatically update its associated device groups as device inventory changes, and that newly added devices go through both an apply and a verify step as part of the same workflow. Customers managing dynamic environments would benefit from reduced manual maintenance and greater confidence that configuration changes are both applied and validated on new devices.

FQDN support in Internet proxy configurationAvailable

NetBrain currently requires the Internet proxy setting to be configured using a static IP address, with no option to specify a fully qualified domain name. This enhancement would allow administrators to enter an FQDN for the Internet proxy configuration, which the system would resolve as needed. Supporting FQDN would reduce maintenance overhead for customers whose proxy IP addresses change periodically, since the FQDN could remain constant while underlying IP assignments are updated independently.

Enforce Match Condition Evaluation for API-Supplied Category in Triggered AutomationAvailable

When a triggered automation API call includes a category data field, the system currently bypasses match condition evaluation and applies the provided category directly, rather than checking it against configured match conditions. This behavior prevents customers from restricting automated diagnosis triggers to only those issues that meet defined criteria when the integrated third-party system always supplies a category value. This enhancement proposes adding an option to enforce match condition evaluation even when an API-provided category is present, so the system can determine trigger eligibility based on configured conditions rather than defaulting to the supplied value. Supporting this option would give customers finer control over which incoming events trigger diagnoses, reducing unnecessary automation runs from integrations that always populate the category field.

CVSS Base Score Filter and Grouping for CVE DashboardAvailable

The CVE dashboard currently displays vulnerability alerts without a means to group or filter them by CVSS Base Score. This enhancement would add a filter or grouping option based on standard CVSS severity bands, allowing users to select one or more bands and view a summarized count of alerts per tier. Customers responsible for vulnerability remediation would gain the ability to quickly prioritize Critical and High severity alerts rather than manually reviewing the full alert list.
