Dynamic API-populated dropdown options for QApp input parametersOn the Roadmap

QApp input dialogs currently support only static, pre-defined dropdown lists for parameter selection, with no mechanism to refresh the available options from an external data source before the QApp runs. This enhancement would allow a QApp input to call an API at runtime to retrieve a current set of selectable values, populate the dropdown with those items, and let the user choose one before execution. Customers whose valid input values change frequently would be able to select accurate, up-to-date options without manually editing the QApp definition each time the underlying list changes, reducing maintenance effort and the risk of running a QApp against stale input values.

Display Percentages in Summary DashboardsOn the Roadmap

Summary Dashboards currently present results only as raw numbers, without an option to display values as percentages. This enhancement would allow Summary Dashboard results to be shown in percentage format in addition to or instead of numeric counts. Presenting data as percentages would give management-level stakeholders a clearer, faster overview of network status when reviewing dashboards.

Full RegEx support in device and interface search dialogs for Device Group creationOn the Roadmap

When creating a new device group using the Static, Dynamic Search, or Exclude options, the Select dialog for choosing devices or interfaces does not support full RegEx pattern matching. Users are limited to basic filtering and cannot construct precise expressions to target device or interface subsets. This enhancement proposes adding full RegEx search capability to these Select dialogs across all three device group creation methods, for both device and interface selection. Customers managing large or complex environments would gain a more precise and efficient way to build device groups without relying on manual selection or workarounds.

Proactive Alerting for Approaching User Seat License LimitOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to monitor user seat license consumption or notify administrators as usage approaches the licensed limit. Administrators can only observe seat usage manually and have no visibility until the limit is fully reached, which does not allow time to plan for additional capacity. This enhancement would add configurable threshold-based alerting for user seat consumption, notifying administrators when usage reaches defined levels below the full seat count. Customers would gain advance visibility into approaching seat limits, allowing them to budget and procure additional seats before running out.

Hostname Change Detection and Update for Devices with Shared Serial NumbersOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently skips hostname change detection and handling for devices that share a serial number with another device, such as virtual systems on a Checkpoint firewall sharing the serial number of the physical firewall. When the hostname changes on one of these devices, administrators must manually remove and rediscover it to resume configuration retrieval, which results in the loss of historical data for that device. This enhancement would extend hostname change detection and in-place hostname update support to devices with shared serial numbers, allowing NetBrain to recognize the hostname change and update the device record without requiring removal and rediscovery. Customers managing these device types would benefit from continuous configuration retrieval and preserved historical data when hostnames change.

Filter OneIP Table Export by Device GroupOn the Roadmap

NetBrain's OneIP Table export currently produces a full data set without an option to limit results to IP addresses associated with a specific group of devices, such as a Device Group. Users who need IP data for only a subset of their environment must export the complete table and manually filter it afterward. This enhancement would add the ability to select a Device Group as a filter criterion prior to export, so that only IP addresses related to devices in that group are included in the output. Customers managing large or segmented environments would benefit from reduced manual post-processing and more efficient access to relevant IP data for audits, troubleshooting, or reporting.

Dedicated CLI Timeout Setting for Change Management ModuleOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently applies a single global forced CLI timeout setting of 600 seconds, which is shared across all modules and cannot be adjusted specifically for Change Management operations such as image uploads or other tasks that require longer execution windows. This enhancement would introduce a dedicated, configurable CLI timeout setting for the Change Management module, independent of the global forced CLI timeout value. Providing this control would allow administrators to accommodate longer-running change tasks without altering timeout behavior for other parts of the product, reducing task failures caused by premature timeouts during change execution.

Per-device override for CLI support settingOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently applies the CLI support setting at the device type level, so all devices sharing a type are treated identically for CLI access, even when certain individual devices should only be monitored via SNMP or other non-CLI methods. This enhancement would allow administrators to override the CLI support setting on a per-device basis, letting specific devices be flagged as not supporting CLI without changing the behavior for the rest of the device type. Customers managing mixed environments, such as servers intended for SNMP-only data collection, would benefit from more accurate device configuration and would avoid unnecessary CLI connection attempts on devices that do not require or support such access.

Change Management support for API-driven firewall platforms (FortiManager, Panorama, Firepower Management Center)On the Roadmap

NetBrain Change Management currently does not support executing configuration changes through API-driven firewall management platforms such as FortiManager, Palo Alto Panorama, and Cisco Firepower Management Center. As a result, customers managing firewalls through these centralized platforms cannot leverage CM automation and must rely on manual, out-of-band change processes for these devices. This enhancement would extend Change Management to integrate with the APIs of FortiManager, Panorama, and Firepower Management Center, allowing changes to be pushed and tracked through these platforms in the same manner as other supported device types. This would give customers consistent, automated change workflows across multi-vendor firewall environments, reducing manual effort and improving change tracking and compliance for security infrastructure.

Concurrent Execution of Multiple Intents in Chat Bot AutomationOn the Roadmap

Chat Bot automation currently executes only one Network Intent at a time, even when multiple intents share a matching tag or are selected together within an Automated Data Table. This enhancement would allow multiple intents to be triggered and run concurrently, either through tag-based matching or by selecting multiple intents within the ADT for simultaneous execution. Enabling concurrent intent execution would allow end users to perform multiple diagnostic checks in a single automation cycle, reducing troubleshooting time and improving overall efficiency of automated workflows.

Automatic Tag Inheritance for Device GroupsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently requires users to manually assign Layout Tags to individual devices, even when those devices belong to a defined device group. When a device group's membership changes, such as new devices being added or existing devices removed, the associated tags do not update automatically, requiring repeated manual effort to keep tagging accurate. This enhancement proposes allowing a Layout Tag to be associated directly with a device group so that any device added to the group automatically inherits the tag, and any device removed from the group has the tag automatically removed. Customers managing large or frequently changing device groups would benefit from consistent, up-to-date tagging without ongoing manual maintenance.

Enhanced Detail in Audit Log Entries for Configuration ChangesOn the Roadmap

The audit log currently does not provide sufficient detail to identify the exact nature of a change made within the system, making it difficult for administrators to trace specific modifications. This enhancement would expand audit log entries to capture granular details of each change, such as the specific field, setting, or configuration element affected and its before-and-after values. Administrators would benefit from improved visibility into system changes, supporting faster troubleshooting and more accurate compliance and change management reviews.

Custom Folder Hierarchy for Inventory ReportsOn the Roadmap

Inventory Reports currently support only two fixed subfolders, Shared Reports and Private Reports, with no option to create additional folders or organize reports into a nested hierarchy. This enhancement would allow users to create custom folders and subfolders within Inventory Reports to organize saved reports according to their own structure. Customers managing a large number of reports would benefit from improved organization and faster navigation when locating specific reports.

Batch CLI functionality limitation in v10 vs v8On the Roadmap

In v8 we were able to remove multiple commands at once using Ctrl-click, and do it for multiple devices simultaneously.In v10 we can only remove the commands one by one, and need to repeat it for every device in the list.Can we please go back (or have an option to switch) to v8 functionality when it comes to executing batch CLI commands?

Bulk Execution of Individualized Per-Device Configuration ScriptsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain does not currently support applying a set of individually distinct configuration scripts to a large group of devices in a single bulk operation; today's change execution workflows generally assume a common command set or template applied across selected devices. This enhancement would allow a user to provide a collection of individual command/script files, each mapped to a specific target device, and have NetBrain log into each device and apply its corresponding script as part of one execution job. This would allow network teams managing large numbers of devices with unique, per-device configuration changes to complete bulk updates efficiently and consistently, without manually executing each script one device at a time.

Conditional Display of NetBrain Tab in ServiceNow Based on Automation ValueOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently displays its tab on every ServiceNow incident once the integration is enabled, regardless of whether NetBrain has performed any automation or added diagnostic value to that incident. This enhancement would introduce logic to show the NetBrain tab only on incidents where NetBrain has executed automation or contributed relevant data. Limiting tab visibility to value-added incidents would reduce clutter for ServiceNow users and help teams quickly identify which incidents received NetBrain analysis.

Scheduled Email Delivery for Domain Health ReportsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently allows Domain Health Reports to be generated manually, but does not provide an option to schedule recurring generation and automatic email delivery of these reports. This enhancement would add a scheduling capability, allowing users to configure Health Reports to run on a recurring basis (such as daily or weekly) and be automatically emailed to designated recipients. This would support proactive system monitoring and reduce the manual effort required to regularly check and distribute health status information.

Show Data AgeOn the Roadmap

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.

Calendar-based navigation and filtering for historical snapshot selectionOn the Roadmap

Today, selecting a historical data snapshot from the dropdown requires navigating in increments of ten entries by repeatedly clicking 'View More,' which becomes time-consuming when reviewing data that spans months or when snapshots are captured multiple times per day. This enhancement proposes adding a calendar-based selection method, allowing users to view a month at a time with dates that contain snapshots highlighted, along with a date range filter to narrow the dropdown to a relevant period. Providing faster, more direct access to historical snapshots would reduce the time customers spend locating specific data points, particularly in environments with frequent or long-running snapshot history.

Switch port icon and other Custom icons for devices (imported or netbrain built-in options)On the Roadmap

Having a few more device icon options within the maps would be nice, but I’d really like to have an option when using the “expanded view” to have face ports that can be individually mapped from port to port.It would be nice to be able to customize the icons of a particular device or group on the map. I would personally like to be able to import vendor provided icons- like you can in visio as shown above. But even if not a generic 12port, 24 port, 48port options would be nice.

Custom Subject in EmailsOn the Roadmap

When using a Scheduled Qapp, I can have the result sent by email for which an address field is provided. Problem is that I have several scheduled Qapps with email output and they all use the same subject. I would like to see a field for a custom subject to make differentiation and email handling easier.ThanksCarsten

PAM Integration for Device Authentication in Live AccessOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently authenticates to managed devices using static, locally stored credentials, which does not align with organizations that enforce rotating or vaulted passwords through a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution. This enhancement would allow Live Access to integrate with PAM platforms so that device credentials are retrieved dynamically at the time of access rather than stored statically within NetBrain. Customers with strict credential rotation and privileged access policies would gain the ability to use NetBrain for device access without weakening their existing security posture or requiring policy exceptions.

Include Public Cloud Resource IP Associations in OneIP TableOn the Roadmap

The OneIP Table does not currently include IP addresses associated with public cloud resources, even when those IP addresses are visible within the resource's own detail view. This creates a gap for users who only have an IP address and need to identify the corresponding cloud resource. This enhancement would extend OneIP Table data collection to capture and display name-to-IP associations for public cloud resources, such as those in Azure, AWS, and GCP environments. Customers managing public cloud infrastructure would benefit from consistent IP-based lookup across their environment, reducing the need for manual cross-referencing when only an IP address is available.

Display VRF Information in OneIP TableOn the Roadmap

The OneIP Table currently does not display VRF information for an IP address, even though this information is available and shown in device ARP tables. This enhancement would add a VRF column to the OneIP Table so that VRF context is visible alongside other IP details. Customers working in multi-VRF environments would benefit from improved visibility and would no longer need to cross-reference ARP tables to determine VRF membership.
