Support Additional NCT Subtable Scopes for OSPF Highlight QAppOpen

NetBrain's OSPF Highlighting QApp currently depends on NCT subtable data that only supports the Global scope, which can cause the QApp to correctly highlight some OSPF-enabled links while failing to highlight others on the same map. This limitation reduces confidence in the completeness of OSPF topology visualization during troubleshooting. This enhancement would extend NCT subtable support to additional scopes beyond Global, allowing the OSPF Highlighting QApp to evaluate and highlight all applicable OSPF connections consistently. Consistent, complete OSPF link highlighting would give customers greater confidence in topology accuracy and reduce time spent manually verifying missed connections.

Consolidated Email Notifications for Multiple Network Intent AlertsOpen

NetBrain currently sends a separate email with an individual CSV attachment for each Network Intent that triggers an alert condition. When many intents trigger simultaneously across a large device set, this results in a large volume of individual emails, each requiring the recipient to open and inspect separately to review the underlying data. This enhancement proposes consolidating alert notifications so that multiple triggered Network Intents within a given cycle are combined into a single email containing an aggregated CSV, or alternatively providing configuration options to batch and control how these alert emails are sent. Customers monitoring large numbers of devices with automated intent-based checks would benefit from reduced notification volume and faster triage of alert data.

Layer 3 Topology Mapping Support for Routed Port-Channel InterfacesOpen

NetBrain currently allows Port-Channel interfaces to be included in a map only through the Layer 2 selection method, which does not support environments where routing occurs across the Port-Channel itself. This limits customers to viewing Port-Channel interface and neighbor relationships strictly as Layer 2 constructs. This enhancement would extend map creation to allow Port-Channel interfaces and their neighbor relationships to be selected and displayed through Layer 3 mapping methods. Customers who route traffic across Port-Channels would gain accurate topology visibility that reflects their actual network design, improving troubleshooting and reducing reliance on manual workarounds.

Failed Credential Report for Device Authentication AttemptsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a report identifying which devices experienced authentication failures and which specific credential was attempted during the failed connection. Customers using external authentication services such as TACACS have no visibility into failed credential attempts, which can lead to account lockouts after repeated failures without a clear audit trail. This enhancement would introduce a report that lists devices with failed authentication attempts along with the credential used in each attempt. Providing this visibility would allow administrators to proactively identify problematic credentials, avoid triggering lockouts on external authentication servers, and reduce the time spent manually troubleshooting access failures.

Pre-Upgrade Antivirus and Endpoint Protection Detection CheckOpen

NetBrain's UI upgrade process does not currently detect whether antivirus or endpoint protection software is actively running on the server before an upgrade begins. Because such software can block file replacement, executable installation, DLL updates, or Windows service operations, upgrades may fail partway through with permission or access-denied errors that are only discovered after the process has started. This enhancement would add a pre-upgrade check that detects active antivirus or endpoint protection software and displays a warning before the upgrade proceeds, giving the user the option to cancel or continue after acknowledging the risk. Providing this early visibility would help customers proactively adjust their security software settings, reducing upgrade failures, troubleshooting effort, and related support cases while improving overall upgrade reliability.

Tag-Based Filtering for VNet/VHub Discovery in Public CloudOpen

NetBrain currently does not support filtering VNet and VHub discovery by resource tags within public cloud environments. This enhancement would allow users to specify tag-based criteria when discovering VNets and VHubs, so that only resources matching the defined tags are included in the discovery scope. Customers managing large or multi-tenant Azure environments would benefit from more targeted discovery, reducing unnecessary resource inclusion and improving the efficiency of cloud network mapping.

Include Loopback Interface IP Addresses in OneIP TableOpen

The OneIP Table currently does not include loopback interface IP addresses, even though it includes other IP types such as Load Balancer Virtual IPs. This creates an incomplete view of all IP addresses present in the environment. This enhancement proposes updating the OneIP Table to include loopback interface IP addresses alongside existing supported IP types, so that the table represents all IP addresses in the system. Customers rely on the OneIP Table as a comprehensive reference for IP address data, and closing this gap would improve accuracy for troubleshooting, auditing, and inventory reporting.

Scenario and Device-Type Scoped CLI Command Restriction RulesOpen

NetBrain currently enforces CLI command data retrieval rules (include, exclude, startWith) through a single global configuration that applies uniformly across all scenarios and all device types. This means administrators cannot permit a command in one context, such as Change Management, while restricting the same command in another context, such as Runbook or Deep Diagnosis, and cannot apply a restriction to one device type without unintentionally affecting others. This enhancement would introduce a rule structure that allows command permissions to be defined and overridden at the scenario level and the device-type level, rather than through a single global rule. Customers with diverse operational workflows and mixed device environments would gain more precise control over which commands are permitted in each context, reducing the risk of unintended restrictions or overly permissive access.

Automated Zero-Downtime Platform Upgrade ProcessOpen

NetBrain platform upgrades currently require a single upgrade execution path that can result in service downtime while components are brought offline and updated. Achieving zero downtime today requires customers to manually perform a server-by-server upgrade sequence, which is time-consuming and dependent on manual coordination. This enhancement would introduce an automated rolling upgrade capability that sequences the upgrade across servers in a multi-server deployment, keeping the platform available throughout the process. Automating this workflow would reduce the operational burden of manual upgrade coordination and allow customers running critical, high-availability environments to upgrade without service interruption.

Display Device IP or Range in Discovery History Selection WindowOpen

When reviewing prior discovery results, the selection window presented after clicking Select currently displays only Start Time, User, Task Result, and Duration, with no indication of the IP address or range associated with each discovery run. This enhancement would add an IP address or IP range column to the Discovery History selection popup, allowing users to identify the correct historical discovery entry without opening each record individually. This change would reduce the time and effort required to locate specific discovery results, particularly in environments with a high volume of discovery history entries.

On-Demand Path Decoding for Map Intent on Ad Hoc PathsOpen

NetBrain currently limits Map Intent and Path Intent health-check execution to devices and interfaces that have already been loaded into the Path Browser or an Automated Data Table (ADT). When a user runs an ad hoc path, the intent does not decode or assess devices and interfaces outside of that pre-loaded set, requiring additional path-loading or ADT-rebuild steps before a full assessment can complete. This enhancement would allow Map Intent to decode and assess all devices and interfaces associated with a selected ad hoc path directly, regardless of whether that path has been previously loaded into the Path Browser or ADT. Removing this dependency would reduce the time required for real-time troubleshooting and improve the effectiveness of on-demand health checks during application-performance investigations.

Surface MCP Server Audit Logs in System Management UIOpen

NetBrain currently stores MCP Server audit log data as a file on the web server, requiring administrators to access the file system directly to review it rather than viewing it within the product interface. This enhancement would surface MCP Server audit log content within the System Management page, either under the existing Audit Logs section or a dedicated sub-tab. Administrators would gain a consistent, in-application view of MCP Server activity alongside other system audit information, improving visibility and reducing the need for direct server access during troubleshooting or compliance review.

FQDN support for Smart CLI source address configurationOpen

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

Hosted Cloud MCP Connector Service for AI Assistant IntegrationOpen

NetBrain's current AI assistant integration requires each user to install and maintain a local Python wrapper, including a .env file, SSL certificate configuration, and library dependencies. This creates onboarding friction, as every user must replicate the same manual setup, which is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency across machines. This enhancement proposes a NetBrain-hosted, managed cloud MCP endpoint that AI assistant clients can connect to directly through a single URL, without requiring any local wrapper, configuration file, or per-machine setup. Users would authenticate once through OAuth to establish the connection. A hosted cloud MCP service would significantly reduce onboarding effort and allow the integration to scale reliably across teams, removing the maintenance burden associated with distributed local setups.

Restore right-click "Retrieve Live Data" option on map devicesOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a right-click option on map devices to directly retrieve live data; users must navigate through multiple additional steps to achieve the same result. This enhancement would reinstate a direct right-click "Retrieve Live Data" action from the map context menu for individual devices. Restoring this streamlined workflow would improve efficiency for users who frequently need quick access to current device data without extra navigation.

Automatic Email Notification for Published CBR PatchesOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide an automated way to notify customers when a patch has been published for their reported case, requiring customers to check manually or rely on other communication channels for updates. This is particularly limiting for customers operating in offline mode, who have no visibility into patch availability without proactive outreach. This enhancement would introduce an automatic email notification triggered upon patch publication, informing the affected customer that a patch is available for their case. Providing this notification would improve customer awareness of patch availability, reduce follow-up inquiries, and support a more responsive experience for customers, including those in offline environments.

Dedicated API role scoped to TAFlite-managed ADT accessOpen

NetBrain does not currently provide a clearly defined or dedicated role scoped to inbound API access for data sourced only from a TAFlite-managed ADT. Administrators lack guidance or a purpose-built permission set for this scenario, which can lead to over-provisioning broader roles just to enable this limited data access. This enhancement would introduce a distinct, assignable API role or permission scoped specifically to TAFlite-managed ADT data retrieval, separate from broader administrative or data access roles. Customers would benefit from tighter adherence to least-privilege access principles, allowing API integrations to retrieve TAFlite ADT data without granting unnecessary broader system access.

StatusCode-Based Stop Condition Filtering for Triggered Diagnosis LoopsOpen

Today, the Stop When condition for a Repeat Triggered Diagnosis loop can only halt execution based on a generic alert detection result. It cannot distinguish between different diagnosis outcomes using StatusCode-based filtering, so a loop cannot be configured to stop specifically on a SUCCESS result in addition to an ALERT result. This enhancement would allow the Stop When condition to filter on specific StatusCode values, enabling the loop to stop and trigger a Follow-up Triggered Diagnosis action whether the diagnosis returns ALERT or SUCCESS. Supporting both outcomes would let diagnostic logic and business notification actions remain cleanly separated, allowing tickets to be automatically escalated for human follow-up on critical conditions or closed automatically once conditions resolve, without manual intervention.

Global FQDN Trim Setting for CLI-Parsed HostnamesOpen

NetBrain currently applies FQDN trimming only to hostnames retrieved via SNMP, with no equivalent centralized option for hostnames retrieved via CLI. Each device driver implements its own CLI hostname parsing logic independently, requiring per-driver customization to strip domain suffixes. This enhancement would introduce a global setting, similar to the existing SNMP FQDN trim option, that enables or disables FQDN trimming uniformly for CLI-parsed hostnames across all drivers. Customers managing large, multi-vendor environments would benefit from consistent short-hostname formatting without maintaining custom logic for each driver.

Support for IP Unnumbered L3 Link MappingOpen

NetBrain currently cannot correctly map Layer 3 links between devices that use IP unnumbered interfaces, where a point-to-point interface borrows its address from a loopback rather than having its own unique subnet. Although the neighbor relationship may be detected in the neighbor discovery table, the platform is unable to resolve and place the correct point-to-point link on the topology map. This enhancement would add logic to identify and accurately map L3 links for IP unnumbered interfaces, using available neighbor and interface data to determine the correct link endpoints. Customers using IP unnumbered addressing to conserve address space would gain accurate, automated topology visibility without needing to manually add or correct links on the map.

Rebuild Option for ADT Created via Import from System TableOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide an option to rebuild an Automated Data Table (ADT) once it has been created using the 'Import from System Table' method, leaving the table static after initial creation. This enhancement would add a rebuild action for ADTs created this way, allowing the table to be refreshed against its system table source on demand. Customers relying on system table imports for their ADTs would be able to keep the data current without recreating the table manually.

Restrict Login Activity to Target Device During Single Device DiscoveryOpen

NetBrain currently does not guarantee that a single-device discovery operation limits authentication attempts strictly to the targeted device; login activity may extend to other previously discovered devices, triggering unrelated security alerts. This enhancement would introduce a discovery mode or setting that restricts login and authentication attempts to only the specified target device when a single-device discovery is initiated. Customers with active security monitoring on their network infrastructure would benefit from reduced false-positive alerts and clearer visibility into which operations initiate device authentication.

Integrate CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog into CVE Update ProcessOpen

NetBrain currently does not incorporate the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog as a data source in its CVE update process, limiting visibility into vulnerabilities that are confirmed to be actively exploited in the wild. This enhancement would add the CISA KEV Catalog as a supported feed within the CVE update mechanism, allowing relevant entries to be automatically pulled in and cross-referenced against network inventory. Customers would benefit from improved prioritization of remediation efforts by identifying assets affected by vulnerabilities with confirmed real-world exploitation, strengthening overall security posture and compliance reporting.

Visual Numbering for Nested Logic Blocks in Network IntentsOpen

The Network Intent code editor does not currently provide a way to visually indicate how conditional logic blocks, such as if/else/switch statements, are related or nested within one another, making it difficult for users to understand complex nested logic structures at a glance. This enhancement proposes adding numbered logic block indicators within the Network Intent editor that clearly illustrate the hierarchy and relationships between nested conditional blocks. This would help customers building and maintaining complex automation logic more easily understand, document, and troubleshoot nested logic structures without relying on trial and error or informal guidance.

Read-Only Login Mode Option for AdministratorsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide administrators with an option to log in using a read-only session mode. All administrator sessions carry full edit permissions, which increases the risk of unintended changes to devices, maps, or configurations during routine review or troubleshooting activities. This enhancement would introduce a login-time selection allowing an administrator to choose a read-only mode for the session, restricting the ability to make changes while still permitting full visibility into the environment. This capability would reduce the risk of accidental modifications and give administrators a safer way to perform inspection or diagnostic tasks without affecting production configurations.
