Enrich Offline Discovery Inventory with Serial Number and Model DataOpen

Offline discovery currently captures only basic device details, such as hostnames, and does not collect serial numbers, models, or other attributes that are available through SNMP-based discovery. This creates an inventory gap for customers relying on offline discovery as their primary collection method. This enhancement would leverage ADT and parsing techniques to supplement offline discovery results with additional device attributes, including serial number and model, bringing offline inventory closer to parity with SNMP-based discovery. Customers using offline discovery would benefit from a more complete inventory without needing to run follow-up SNMP scans or manually enter missing device details.

Guided Setup Wizard for Golden Config CreationOpen

NetBrain currently requires users to configure Golden Config manually without any guided assistance, making the setup process difficult for customers who are less familiar with the underlying logic compared to the more intuitive Golden Intent workflow. This enhancement would introduce a guided, step-by-step interface for Golden Config creation that walks users through key decisions, such as whether their configuration variations are known, and directs them to the appropriate setup path accordingly. A complementary approach could overlay contextual, on-screen guidance directly within the feature panes for complex sub-features, with an option for experienced users to disable the guidance mode. Providing this guided experience would reduce the learning curve for new and infrequent users, decrease setup errors, and allow customers to adopt Golden Config independently without extensive support intervention.

Extend Golden Assessment Framework to Support Static and Relationship-Based Configuration ElementsOpen

NetBrain's Golden Assessment framework currently cannot fully represent certain configuration elements that are static and customer-specific, such as AAA or NTP server settings, nor can it capture relationships that are only identifiable from a single device's perspective, such as VRRP pairings. As a result, users and support teams must continue relying on manual or reverse-engineering workflows through Golden Config to capture and validate these elements. This enhancement would extend the Golden Assessment framework to natively support static, customer-defined parameters and relationship-based configuration constructs, reducing the scope of items that require the older Golden Config approach. Customers would benefit from a more unified assessment experience with less manual effort spent reconciling dynamic and static configuration validation methods.

Full GDR Property Support for Control Variables in Golden Engineering StudioOpen

NetBrain currently does not clearly support all GDR properties within control variables used to segment rules by site information, and when a needed property is unsupported, customers must modify behavior through a plugin, which carries risk of unintended side effects. This enhancement would extend control variable support to cover the full set of GDR properties natively, removing the need for plugin-based adjustments. Customers managing site-based rule segmentation would gain a more reliable and lower-risk way to configure rules, reducing dependency on custom plugin changes.

Capture Static Configuration Variations in Rule DiscoveryOpen

Rule Discovery currently focuses on dynamic, design-level insights and does not provide a way to identify and capture common static configuration values across a device population. As a result, customers cannot easily determine which configuration variations represent standard practice, such as identifying the most common NTP server settings used across an environment. This enhancement would introduce a reverse-engineering approach within Rule Discovery that analyzes existing configurations to surface the most frequent variations for a given setting and allow those to be defined as standard configuration rules. Customers would benefit from a faster, data-driven method for establishing golden configuration standards, reducing the manual effort required to review configurations individually and improving consistency across the environment.

Functional Equivalence Comparison for ACL Configuration DifferencesOpen

NetBrain currently evaluates configuration consistency based on syntax and structure rather than functional equivalence, which can produce false inconsistency alerts when devices running different IOS versions or vendor platforms express the same access control logic in different formats. This enhancement would allow configuration comparison logic to focus on the functional outcome of an access control entry, such as the permit or deny decision and its associated traffic match criteria, rather than requiring exact syntactic alignment. Customers managing multi-version or multi-vendor environments would benefit from more accurate consistency validation and fewer unnecessary alerts caused by syntax differences that do not affect actual network behavior.

Quick Assessment Wizard for Golden Engineering StudioOpen

Building a post-mortem or ad hoc assessment today requires users to know, from memory, which steps and configuration options to use, since the process is fragmented across multiple screens without a guided starting point. This makes it difficult for users to begin an assessment confidently, particularly when working under the time pressure of a post-incident review. This enhancement would introduce a Quick Assessment Wizard that walks users through the assessment creation process in a structured, sequential manner. Customers would benefit from a faster, more consistent path to building assessments, reducing reliance on memorized steps and lowering the barrier to adopting assessment workflows after network incidents.

Splunk and SIEM/SOAR Integration for Unified Network VisualizationOpen

NetBrain currently lacks integration with log analytics and security orchestration platforms such as Splunk, ELK Stack, Grafana, or Phantom, limiting the ability to surface network context within those tools or trigger automated investigations from external alerts. This enhancement would establish integration points allowing NetBrain insights and map-based visualizations to be embedded in third-party dashboards, and enabling automated NetBrain investigations to be triggered from alerts generated in those platforms. Customers operating security and network operations teams would gain a unified, contextual view across fragmented observability and automation tools, reducing manual correlation effort and improving situational awareness during incident response.

Multi-select device groups for Reference Cluster in Device ScopeOpen

Device Scope configuration for Reference Cluster currently allows selection of only a single device group at a time, requiring administrators to consolidate devices into a new combined group when multiple groups need to be referenced together. This enhancement would allow multiple device groups to be selected simultaneously when defining a Reference Cluster scope. Customers managing devices across several logical groupings would benefit from reduced administrative overhead and would no longer need to create and maintain duplicate consolidated groups solely to work around the single-selection limitation.

Improve Alert Detection Accuracy for Golden Config Checks Using Ignore Line Order MatchingOpen

When the 'Ignore Order of Lines' option is used together with masked or ignored keywords in a Golden Configuration match pattern, the comparison logic can fail to detect missing or extra configuration lines between the golden and target configs, since masking causes multiple lines to appear identical and order-independent matching treats them as present regardless of actual count or placement. As a result, no alert is triggered and the details view shows no configuration difference, even though a real discrepancy exists. This enhancement would add a secondary verification step to the alert condition logic specifically for checks using 'Ignore Order of Lines,' confirming that an actual line-count or content difference exists before suppressing an alert. Customers relying on order-independent, masked-pattern compliance checks would gain more reliable alerting and reduce the risk of undetected configuration drift.

Consistent Case Handling and Validation for Boolean Network Intent VariablesOpen

Boolean Network Intent variables currently accept mixed-case values, such as "True" or "TRUE" alongside "true," without validation, and there is no error shown when a case variant is entered during variable creation. In addition, variable definition guidance instructs lower-case true/false while the diagnosis step presents a dropdown using upper-case True/False, creating inconsistency between the two areas. This enhancement would add validation to enforce a single consistent case format for Boolean variable values at creation time, and align the case format shown in variable definition with the case format presented in diagnosis. Standardizing case handling would reduce configuration errors and eliminate confusion for customers building and maintaining Network Intents with Boolean variables.

Skip SNMP Attempts for Non-Pinging Devices During DiscoveryOpen

NetBrain currently attempts SNMP access against every IP address identified during a live network discovery, even when the IP does not respond to an initial ping check. In large-scale environments, this results in significant time spent on SNMP attempts against unreachable or non-existent hosts, extending overall discovery duration. This enhancement would introduce an option to skip SNMP attempts for IP addresses that fail a preliminary ping check during discovery. Customers running large seed-based or full-network discoveries would benefit from substantially reduced discovery times and more efficient use of scanning resources.

Accurate path calculation over stretched VLANs without manual gateway selectionOpen

NetBrain path calculation currently does not reliably determine the correct traversed path when a VLAN is stretched across multiple sites or devices, unless the user manually specifies the gateway to use. Without manual intervention, the calculated path can diverge from actual traffic flow in these environments. This enhancement would extend the path calculation engine to automatically identify the correct gateway or next hop when tracing across a stretched VLAN topology, removing the need for manual gateway selection. Customers operating stretched VLAN architectures would gain accurate, automatic path visibility, reducing manual verification effort during troubleshooting.

Accurate Counting for Unused Pattern Lines and Unmatched Lines in Match Pattern ScenariosOpen

NetBrain's Golden Engineering Studio currently does not reliably reflect the true state of unused pattern lines and unmatched lines within a match pattern scenario, as the associated counters can increment even when no such lines are present in the scenario. This enhancement would ensure that unused pattern line and unmatched line counters are calculated and displayed accurately, matching the actual scenario content. Customers relying on these counters to verify configuration compliance and troubleshoot match pattern scenarios would gain accurate, trustworthy reporting without needing to manually cross-check the underlying scenario data.

Contextual Export for Individual Devices and Commands within Runbook NodesOpen

NetBrain currently only supports exporting Runbook node results as a whole, requiring users to run a global export and then search through the full result set to locate data for a specific device or command. This enhancement would add contextual export options, accessible through right-click, that allow a user to export the retrieved data for a single device within a node, or the command output for a single command executed against a device, as an individual file. Providing this granular export capability would let customers quickly retrieve the specific data they need without navigating through large consolidated exports, improving efficiency for troubleshooting and documentation tasks that focus on individual devices or commands.
