Combined Username, Password, and SSH Key Authentication Mode for Jumpbox ConnectionsOpen

NetBrain's Jumpbox settings currently support only Telnet, SSH, or SSH Key as individual connection modes, with no option to combine username, password, and SSH key credentials into a single authentication method. This enhancement would add a new Jumpbox connection mode that allows administrators to configure username, password, and SSH key together as a single authentication method. Customers whose jump servers require this combined authentication scheme would be able to connect successfully without needing manual workarounds or unsupported configurations.

Webhook Support for Creating ServiceNow Change Requests from Network Intent DiagnosisOpen

NetBrain's Webhook API follow-up action currently supports opening a ServiceNow Incident from a Network Intent diagnosis, but it does not support opening a ServiceNow Change Request through the same mechanism, nor does it provide a way to link that Change Request to a Change Management task within NetBrain. This enhancement would extend the Webhook API follow-up action to support Change Request creation in ServiceNow and would allow the resulting Change Request to be linked to a corresponding CM task or runbook in NetBrain. Customers would benefit from an automated workflow in which a diagnosis-triggered change process is initiated and tracked consistently across both platforms, reducing manual coordination between diagnosis and change management activities.

Display Placeholder Author for Deleted User Accounts in Reports and Task RecordsOpen

NetBrain currently retains the original creator or author reference on reports and task records even after the associated user account has been removed from the system, resulting in stale or broken user references that cannot be corrected without direct database access. This enhancement would automatically update the displayed author or creator field to a generic placeholder, such as 'Unknown user,' whenever the associated account no longer exists in the system. Organizations that manage user accounts through automated directory synchronization would benefit from accurate and consistent record attribution without requiring manual database intervention each time a user is removed.

Natural sort order for files and foldersOpen

NetBrain currently sorts file and folder names using standard alphanumeric string comparison, which can produce an order that does not match human expectations when names contain numbers, such as placing 'File10' before 'File2'. This enhancement would apply a natural sort algorithm to file and folder listings so that numeric segments within names are compared by value rather than by character. Customers managing large numbers of files and folders would benefit from a more intuitive, human-readable ordering, reducing the need for manual workarounds such as zero-padding names to force correct sort order.

Display Server Time in Service Monitor and Server Health ReportOpen

Service Monitor and the Server Health Report currently do not display the time reported by each monitored server, which makes it difficult for administrators to identify time synchronization issues between servers. This enhancement would add a column showing each server's reported time, including time zone information or a UTC-converted value, within both the Service Monitor interface and the Server Health Report. Providing this visibility would help administrators quickly detect and troubleshoot server time mismatches, reducing the effort required to diagnose issues that stem from clock discrepancies.

Display Intent Folder Path When Configuring Trigger AutomationOpen

When configuring Trigger Automation, administrators currently have no way to see the folder path or source location of the Network Intent being used, making it difficult to determine whether the Intent is a standalone NIT or one associated with IBAC, and from which folder it originates. This enhancement would display the full path or source location of the selected Intent directly within the Trigger Automation configuration screen. Providing this visibility would help engineers, particularly those new to an environment, quickly identify and verify the correct Intent without manually searching through folders.

SNMP Command Support in Benchmark Tasks for Dataset CreationOpen

Benchmark tasks currently support only CLI-based commands for collecting device data used in Datasets, leaving no option to gather data via SNMP. This enhancement would add support for configuring SNMP-related commands within a Benchmark task so that SNMP responses can be captured and used as Dataset input alongside CLI-based data. Customers working with devices where SNMP is the preferred or only available access method would gain the ability to decode and populate Datasets without relying solely on CLI connectivity, improving flexibility and completeness of Benchmark-driven data collection.

REST API Access to QApp and Inventory Report ResultsOpen

NetBrain's REST API currently does not provide a documented method for retrieving the result data of QApp-based reports, such as Inventory Reports, leaving customers unable to programmatically access this output outside of manual export or UI review. This enhancement would introduce a documented API endpoint that allows customers to retrieve QApp and Inventory Report results directly through the API. Customers building automated reporting or monitoring workflows would benefit from consistent, programmatic access to report data without relying on manual retrieval steps.

Protocol selection and protocol-visibility column for Tune Live AccessOpen

NetBrain's Tune Live Access tool currently reports only a succeeded or failed connection status for each device, without indicating whether SSH or Telnet was used, so administrators must inspect individual device logs to determine the protocol. In addition, testing a specific protocol requires manually changing the default VTY or access mode setting for each device before running the tool. This enhancement would add an option to select and force a specific protocol, such as SSH-only or Telnet-only, when running Tune Live Access, along with a dedicated column in the results table that shows the protocol used per device. Customers would be able to validate protocol-specific reachability and quickly identify which devices use SSH versus Telnet directly from the exportable table, removing the need to review logs on a per-device basis.

Rename 'Reload Target Devices' option in Runbook to reduce confusionOpen

NetBrain currently labels the option that refreshes the device selection on a Runbook node as 'Reload Target Devices.' This wording can be misread as an action that power-cycles or reloads the physical devices themselves, causing unnecessary concern among users who are cautious about NetBrain's read-only access model. This enhancement would rename the option to more accurately describe its function, such as 'Refresh Target Devices' or 'Refresh Device Selection.' A clearer label would reduce customer confusion and reinforce confidence that the action only updates device selection data on the map rather than affecting live network devices.

SNMP Walk Execution via Front Server from Network IntentOpen

Network Intent currently supports Ping and Traceroute checks executed from the Front Server, but it does not provide an option to perform an SNMP walk from the Front Server to verify device reachability via SNMP. This enhancement would add an SNMP walk execution option within Network Intent, consistent with the existing Front Server-based Ping and Traceroute options. Customers troubleshooting device-down or node-down alerts would gain a more complete reachability assessment, reducing manual verification steps and improving the accuracy of automated network health checks.

Automatic Color Variant Generation for Device Type IconsOpen

NetBrain currently requires users to manually upload five separate icon image files to represent the different status color states for a single device type in the Change Device Type Icon window. This enhancement would introduce backend logic to automatically generate the required color variants from a single uploaded base icon. Automating this process would reduce manual effort for customers managing custom device icons and ensure visual consistency across status states.

Show Per-Device Differences Between Summary Dashboard RunsOpen

Summary Dashboards currently display an overall trend indicator but do not show which specific devices or checks contributed to an improvement or degradation between runs. Users monitoring a continuously running or periodically scheduled dashboard have no way to identify what changed since the previous run without manual comparison. This enhancement would add a detail view or drill-down that highlights the specific devices and checks whose status changed between the current and prior run. Customers relying on frequently refreshed dashboards would gain faster insight into emerging issues and improvements, reducing the manual effort needed to interpret trend changes.

Editing Rights Transfer and Lock Option for Summary DashboardsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to transfer or release editing rights for Summary Dashboards, nor does it offer an option to lock a dashboard to prevent unauthorized changes. This enhancement would add the ability for administrators to assign or revoke editing rights to specific users or groups, and to lock a dashboard to restrict edits until explicitly unlocked. This capability would allow users beyond the administrator to safely manage dashboard content, improving collaboration while protecting dashboards from unintended modification.

Separate Ports for Desktop and Admin Web InterfacesOpen

NetBrain currently serves the desktop web interface and the administrator web interface on the same port, which does not allow administrators to isolate or restrict access to the administrative console independently of the standard user interface. This enhancement would allow administrators to configure desktop.html and admin.html to be accessible through separate, independently configurable ports. Customers would benefit from improved network segmentation and security control, allowing administrative access to be restricted to specific network segments or firewall rules without affecting general user access to the desktop interface.

Add IPv6 Address Support to OneIP TableOpen

The OneIP Table currently displays only IPv4 addresses, leaving IPv6 addresses absent from this reference view even when IPv6 is present in the environment. This enhancement proposes extending the OneIP Table to capture and display IPv6 addresses alongside existing IPv4 entries. Customers operating dual-stack or IPv6-enabled networks would gain a complete, unified view of IP address data without needing to build separate workarounds to track IPv6 information.

Enable L2Border and L3Border Options for Traditional Devices in DVTOpen

NetBrain currently restricts the IsL2Border and IsL3Border configuration options within DVT to logical node device types, leaving these options unavailable when a traditional device is selected. This enhancement would extend the availability of the IsL2Border and IsL3Border options to traditional devices, aligning their configuration capability with logical nodes. Providing consistent access to these border designation options across both device types would support more accurate and flexible topology modeling in DVT-based workflows.

PDF Export Option for Intent and Summary DashboardsOpen

Intent Dashboards and Summary Dashboards currently cannot be exported as a formatted, chart-inclusive document such as PDF; available export paths do not preserve the visual summarization and graphics shown on screen. This enhancement would add a native PDF export option for these dashboards that retains charts, graphics, and layout as displayed in the product. Customers and partners preparing executive-level or management-facing reports would benefit from being able to share polished, presentation-ready dashboard output with stakeholders who do not have direct access to NetBrain.

Option to Disable CLI Privilege Login Alarm in Health Report When Not ApplicableOpen

The Domain Health Report currently displays a CLI Privilege Login status indicator for all devices, even in environments where privileged CLI login is not used because access control is managed entirely through an external AAA system. This results in a persistent 'N/A' alarm that cannot be dismissed or excluded from the report. This enhancement would allow administrators to disable the CLI Privilege Login check within the Health Report for domains or device groups where it does not apply. Providing this control would reduce non-actionable alerts and help administrators focus on health metrics that are relevant to their actual access control configuration.

Direct Configuration Push from Network IntentOpen

NetBrain Network Intent can generate a compliant configuration based on a golden template, but it cannot push that generated configuration to the target device directly; completing the deployment currently depends on an external system or process outside of Network Intent. This enhancement would allow Network Intent to execute the push of the generated configuration as part of its automated workflow, while still respecting existing change management controls. Enabling this capability would let customers complete configuration remediation end-to-end within NetBrain, reducing reliance on external tools and streamlining automated change workflows.

Manual option selection for chatbot IF condition next stepsOpen

Today, the chatbot IF condition can only direct next steps based on the results returned by a previous intent, with no option to define the branching manually. This enhancement would add a manual selection option to the IF condition dropdown, allowing a user to choose a specific value to drive the next step rather than relying solely on intent output. Providing this manual option would give automation designers greater flexibility when building conditional chatbot flows, particularly in cases where the desired branching logic does not depend on intent results.

Tooltip for Diagnostic Messages on Summary Dashboard Alert StatusOpen

Summary Dashboards currently display alert status boxes with only a generic count, such as a number of device alert status codes, without exposing the underlying diagnostic detail for that condition. Users must navigate away from the dashboard to identify the specific network intent diagnosis behind a red status indicator. This enhancement would add a hover tooltip on status boxes that displays the relevant diagnostic messages directly within the dashboard view. Customers monitoring network health would gain faster insight into alert causes without leaving the summary view, reducing time spent on initial triage.

PDF Export Option for DashboardsOpen

NetBrain dashboards currently do not support exporting their data to PDF format; available export options do not include this capability for dashboard views. This enhancement proposes adding PDF as a selectable export format for dashboard data, allowing users to generate a document-ready output directly from the dashboard interface. Customers would benefit from being able to easily share, print, or archive dashboard insights in a universally accessible format without relying on manual workarounds.

Dynamic Map Layout Assignment Based on Site PropertyOpen

NetBrain currently requires administrators to manually apply a map layout to each site individually, which becomes impractical for organizations managing a large number of sites with varying layout needs. This enhancement would introduce a rule-based mechanism, similar to dynamic search, that automatically applies a defined map layout based on a site property value, such as site type. Customers with multiple standardized layouts could leverage site properties to automate layout associations across their environment, reducing manual configuration effort and ensuring consistent map presentation as new sites are added.

Run Diagnosis on All Selected Devices in Chatbot Multi-SelectOpen

NetBrain's Chatbot currently limits diagnosis execution to only the first device when multiple devices are selected, rather than running diagnosis across all selected devices. This enhancement would restore and formalize support for running diagnosis on every device selected in a multi-device Chatbot selection, ensuring consistent behavior regardless of how many devices are chosen. Customers troubleshooting multiple devices simultaneously would benefit from a more efficient workflow that avoids repeating manual selections for each device.
