Retain Command Output in Network Intent Results for Bulk and Scheduled RunsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain does not currently retain the underlying command output within Network Intent results when the intent is executed in bulk or through a scheduled task, even though this output is available when the intent is run interactively on a single device. This enhancement would preserve and expose the command output associated with each device in bulk and scheduled Network Intent executions, consistent with prior product behavior. Retaining this data would allow operations teams to review the exact basis for diagnosis or troubleshooting outcomes after large-scale or unattended runs, rather than only seeing final results without supporting detail.

Streamlined Configuration Workflow for Azure SSO External AuthenticationOn the Roadmap

Configuring Azure SSO external authentication currently requires administrators to follow a multi-step manual process that can be difficult to complete correctly without close guidance. This enhancement would introduce a more guided, streamlined configuration workflow for setting up Azure SSO, such as clearer in-product steps or validation checks during setup. Customers implementing SSO would benefit from reduced configuration errors and faster, more reliable deployment of external authentication.

Interval-Based Scheduling for Network Intents Within a Daily Time WindowOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not support scheduling a Network Intent to run repeatedly at a fixed interval within a defined daily time window; existing scheduling options only allow a single run time or basic recurrence, without the ability to specify a start and end time paired with an execution frequency. This enhancement would allow users to configure a Network Intent to execute automatically at a set interval (such as every hour) between a defined start and end time each day. Supporting this level of scheduling granularity would reduce the need for manual intent execution during business hours and enable more consistent, hands-off monitoring throughout the day.

Do-Not-Scan Status Column in Device Log ResultsOn the Roadmap

Device Log results do not currently indicate whether a device IP address is included on the Do-Not-Scan list, requiring users to manually cross-reference each entry against that list. This enhancement would add a dedicated column in the Device Log results view that flags whether a given device or IP address matches the Do-Not-Scan list. This visibility would allow customers to quickly identify cases of IP address reuse involving previously excluded devices without manually checking each log entry, improving efficiency during device log review.

Alphabetical Sorting for Tenant Management and Front Server ListsOn the Roadmap

The Tenant Management list and the Front Server Controller list do not display their entries in alphabetical order, requiring administrators to scan unsorted lists to locate a specific tenant or front server. This enhancement would apply alphabetical ordering to both lists so that entries are easier to locate. Customers managing environments with many tenants or front servers would benefit from reduced time spent searching these lists and a more consistent administrative experience.

Improve Multi-IP Device Discovery Logic and Subnet Scan CoverageOn the Roadmap

During device discovery, when a device presents multiple IP addresses and SNMP succeeds on one of them, the discovery process currently adds the device using that IP without further attempting other IP addresses that might yield a successful SSH connection. This can result in devices being onboarded as SNMP-only even when a more complete SSH-based connection was achievable through a different IP on the same device. This enhancement proposes that discovery continue evaluating all known IP addresses for a device until the most complete access method (SSH preferred over SNMP-only) is confirmed, rather than stopping at the first successful protocol match. Additionally, subnet range scans should guarantee that every IP address in the defined range is attempted, including at minimum a ping, so that no address is silently skipped. This would improve discovery completeness and access-method accuracy, reducing the need for manual review and re-scanning of missed or improperly onboarded devices.

Approval Gating for Scheduled Network Change Execution TimeOn the Roadmap

NetBrain's Change Management approval process currently does not account for a scheduled execution time for a Runbook-based change. Approvers cannot review or factor in when the change is planned to run, and the system does not prevent the Runbook from executing at its scheduled time if approval has not yet been granted. This enhancement would incorporate the scheduled execution time into the approval workflow, allowing approvers to see and confirm the planned timing as part of their review, and would block the Runbook from executing at the scheduled time unless approval has been completed. This would give organizations stronger governance over when changes occur, ensuring that time-sensitive maintenance windows are not executed without proper authorization.

Include Newly Discovered Devices in API Discovery ReportOn the Roadmap

NetBrain discovery reports generated through the API do not currently list newly discovered devices, making it difficult to distinguish new additions from devices discovered in prior runs. This enhancement would update the API discovery report to explicitly include newly discovered device entries. Customers running incremental or repeated discoveries would gain clearer visibility into discovery results, allowing them to isolate and troubleshoot missed devices more efficiently.

Manual Resizing of Device Rectangles in Expanded Map StyleOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently determines the size of a device rectangle automatically when a map is set to Expanded Style, and users have no way to adjust this dimension manually. This enhancement would allow users to manually resize device rectangles on maps using Expanded Style, giving them direct control over the visual footprint of each device. Providing this control would help customers produce cleaner, more readable map layouts and reduce link overlap that occurs when automatically sized rectangles are too large or too small for the surrounding topology.

Option to restrict QAPP path attribute interface variables to L3 topology interfaceOn the Roadmap

When a QAPP consumes a path attribute variable for an interface, such as the inbound interface used to build a command like packet-tracer, the system currently returns both L2 and L3 interfaces for that path node. This produces inaccurate command input and increases QAPP run time when many L2 interfaces are present, since only the single L3 interface displayed on the map is relevant. This enhancement would allow QAPPs to reference the L3 topology interface exclusively when resolving path-based interface variables, matching what is shown on the map. This would improve the accuracy of automated command execution and reduce unnecessary processing time for customers running diagnostic or remediation QAPPs against path attributes.

Expandable Search Results WindowOn the Roadmap

The global search results window currently displays results in a fixed, limited-size window, requiring users to scroll left and right to review full result details. This enhancement proposes allowing the search results window to be expanded or resized so that more content is visible at once. Customers analyzing search results would benefit from improved readability and efficiency, reducing the need for repetitive scrolling during review.

Device-Level Logs for Scheduled Parser TasksOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide device-level logs for scheduled parser tasks, leaving users unable to determine which specific devices failed during a scheduled run. This enhancement would generate a detailed log or report for each scheduled parser task execution, listing per-device parsing status and any associated errors. Providing this visibility would allow customers to quickly identify and troubleshoot failed devices without needing to manually investigate or re-run the parser task.

Exact-match search modifier for IP address queriesOn the Roadmap

The search field currently interprets a partial IP address entry, such as 10.1.1.1, as a range match and returns all addresses within that range, such as 10.1.1.1 through 10.1.1.199. There is no way to instruct the search to return only the exact address entered. This enhancement proposes adding an exact-match search modifier, such as a trailing underscore character, that restricts results to the precise IP address typed rather than an inferred range. Customers searching for a specific device or interface by IP would locate the correct result more quickly and avoid manually filtering through unrelated range matches.

Accurate Active Path Selection for Recursive BGP RoutesOn the Roadmap

NetBrain path calculation can select an incorrect hop when a route entry is recursive and multiple candidate routes exist in the routing and BGP tables, even though the underlying tables clearly indicate which route is active. This results in the computed path diverging from the actual forwarding behavior of the network, reducing confidence in the visualized path. This enhancement would improve the path calculation logic to correctly resolve recursive routes by consistently honoring the active route marked in the routing and BGP tables, rather than defaulting to a non-active entry. Accurate path resolution in these scenarios would give customers confidence that the visualized active path reflects the true forwarding path, reducing troubleshooting time and manual verification effort.

Customizable Site Icon on MapsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently represents Site objects on maps with a fixed cloud icon, which does not visually distinguish sites from other cloud-represented objects and can make map interpretation less intuitive. This enhancement would allow administrators to select an alternative built-in icon, such as a building, to represent Site objects on maps. Providing a more intuitive visual distinction for sites would improve map readability and help users more quickly identify site-level groupings within complex topologies.

Create Change Templates Directly from the Network Change Template AppOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide an option to create a new change template directly from within the Network Change Template App; users must navigate elsewhere to initiate template creation. This enhancement would add a create-template action within the Network Change Template App itself, allowing users to define and save new templates without leaving that interface. Enabling template creation from this single entry point would streamline the change management workflow and reduce unnecessary navigation for teams managing multiple change templates.

Recurring Schedule Option for Change Management TasksOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not allow Change Management tasks to be configured with a recurring schedule. Users can set recurrence intervals for Qapp and DVT tasks in Domain management, but no equivalent option exists for routine change tasks. This enhancement would extend the scheduling capability to Change Management tasks, allowing them to be configured to run automatically at defined intervals, consistent with existing Qapp and DVT scheduling options. This would reduce manual effort for teams that perform routine, repeatable network changes, and would support more consistent execution of standard change processes over time.

Global Setting for Data Retention PeriodOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently applies the 'Only keep data in the last X days' cleanup setting on a per-user basis, which results in inconsistent data retention periods and cleanup reminder prompts across different users within the same organization. This enhancement would allow administrators to configure the retention period as a single global setting applied uniformly to all users, and would clarify the reminder message to state when old data will be removed and when the next reminder will appear. Customers managing shared environments would benefit from consistent data retention behavior and reduced confusion caused by conflicting per-user configurations.

Automated Retention Policy for Aged Service Monitor DataOn the Roadmap

Service Monitor currently requires an administrator to log in and manually identify and remove aged data records, with no mechanism to detect or purge data once it exceeds a defined age automatically. This enhancement would allow Service Monitor to automatically detect data that has aged past a configurable threshold and delete it without requiring manual review or action. Customers would benefit from reduced administrative overhead and more consistent data hygiene, particularly in environments where aged data accumulates frequently and manual cleanup is not sustainable.

Editable Label Text on Site Cloud IconsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently displays a fixed 'SITE' label on the cloud icon within site maps, with the site description rendered separately below the icon, and administrators have no way to customize the text shown directly on the cloud icon. This enhancement would allow administrators to edit or configure the label text displayed on the site cloud icon itself. Providing this flexibility would let customers align map labeling with their own naming conventions, improving clarity and consistency when reviewing site maps.

Display Virtual Switching System (VSS) / StackWise Virtual stack members as separate devices on the mapOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently represents Cisco Catalyst switches configured as Virtual Switching System (VSS) or StackWise Virtual as a single logical device on the map, even though the underlying chassis are physically separate and, in some deployments, installed in different locations connected only through standard front-panel ports. This enhancement would allow the two chassis in a VSS or StackWise Virtual pair to be displayed as two linked device representations on the map, connected via the inter-switch link, with data such as MAC, ARP, and routing information collected from the active member and mapped to the appropriate chassis based on module-specific port naming. Device naming would use a stable suffix indicating chassis membership rather than an active/standby designation that can change over time. This would give customers an accurate physical topology view for stacked switches, supporting correct link visualization and easier troubleshooting when chassis members reside in different physical locations.

Restrict Service Monitor Status Banner to Administrator UsersOn the Roadmap

Service Monitor currently displays a status banner indicating that the Service Monitor Agent has been stopped, and this banner is visible to all users regardless of role. Standard, non-administrative users who have no ability to act on this information may see the banner and mistakenly believe the application is malfunctioning. This enhancement would restrict visibility of the Service Monitor Agent status banner to administrator users only, or provide a configurable setting that allows administrators to control which user roles see this notification. Limiting banner visibility to users who can act on the information would reduce unnecessary support inquiries and prevent confusion among standard users when services are intentionally stopped for maintenance or performance reasons.

Distinct map representation for stacked chassis devices (VSS/StackWise)On the Roadmap

NetBrain currently displays a Virtual Switching System (VSS) or similarly stacked chassis configuration as a single device icon on the topology map, even though the underlying deployment consists of two or more physically stacked switches. This limits the accuracy of site topology visualization for customers who rely on the map to reflect actual physical device counts and connections. This enhancement would introduce a way to represent stacked chassis configurations more accurately on the map, either by rendering each member chassis as a separate connected device or by using a distinct icon that clearly indicates a device stack. Customers would benefit from improved topology accuracy, which supports better network documentation and troubleshooting for environments that rely on virtual switching stacks.

Drag-and-Drop Device Assignment to Logical Sites from Map ViewOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to create a logical site and populate it by dragging devices directly from an existing map. Users who want to organize a subset of mapped devices into a new logical site must rely on manual, indirect methods to build site membership. This enhancement would allow users to define a logical site and then drag-and-drop selected devices from a map into that site to establish membership. This would streamline site creation for large or complex topologies, reducing manual configuration effort and improving the efficiency of organizing devices into logical groupings.

Flexible icon-based links to any map from site map pagesOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently limits map-to-map navigation on site map pages to fixed links, such as neighbor site links available only on the NBR page. Users cannot place a custom icon on any site map page that links to any other map of their choosing. This enhancement would allow users to add configurable icons to any site map page, each linking to a specific target map, providing flexible navigation across the map hierarchy. This would give customers greater control over how they traverse related maps, reducing the need for manual navigation through the map tree.
