Enable/Disable Toggle for API Server Entries in API Server ManagerOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to disable or enable individual API server entries within API Server Manager. When an API server becomes unreachable, the system continues attempting calls to it, which can create cascading timeout delays for dependent operations. This enhancement would add a toggle to disable or enable specific API server entries directly in API Server Manager. Administrators could disable a non-responsive server to stop related API calls, then re-enable it for testing once connectivity is restored. This capability would reduce timeout-related delays and give customers more direct control over API server availability without removing server configurations.

Recovery Logging for Resolved SSH and Configuration Retrieval FailuresOpen

NetBrain currently generates a log entry only when a device suspends due to an SSH failure, and this log does not capture configuration retrieval failures or include a recovery entry when the underlying issue is resolved. As a result, external monitoring and incident management systems that consume these logs cannot reliably auto-close incidents once connectivity or configuration retrieval is restored. This enhancement proposes expanding device event logging to include configuration retrieval failure details alongside SSH failures, and to generate a corresponding recovery log entry when the failure condition clears. Providing both failure and recovery events would allow customers integrating NetBrain logs with external alerting and ITSM platforms to automatically close incidents when issues are resolved, reducing manual monitoring effort and improving incident lifecycle accuracy.

Centralized Runbook Configuration for API Stub Manager Across DomainsOpen

NetBrain currently does not retain the runbook selection within API Stub Manager configuration when the associated runbook is modified; the runbook field is cleared and must be manually re-added in each affected domain. This becomes impractical for organizations managing a large number of domains, since any runbook update requires repeating the same manual configuration step across every domain individually. This enhancement would ensure that runbook selections in API Stub Configuration persist through runbook edits, and would introduce a way to define or update this configuration once and apply it consistently across multiple domains. Customers operating large multi-domain environments would benefit from reduced administrative overhead and fewer configuration inconsistencies when maintaining triggered automation.

Weekday Selection for Network Intent Blocking ScheduleOpen

The Intent Timer's Blocking Time configuration currently only supports an "Undefined" setting and does not allow selection of specific weekdays, so a blocking schedule cannot be limited to particular days of the week. This enhancement would add weekday selection options (such as Monday through Friday) to the Blocking Time configuration, allowing a Network Intent's execution schedule to be restricted to designated days. This would let customers align automated intent execution with business schedules and avoid unnecessary runs on non-business days, improving scheduling precision and reducing unwanted off-day activity.

MTTR Calculation Column in AI Ticket AnalysisOpen

AI Ticket Analysis currently does not calculate or display Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR) for tickets, requiring users to derive this metric manually outside the tool. This enhancement would add a dedicated MTTR calculation column within the AI Ticket Analysis view, automatically computing resolution time based on ticket open and close timestamps. Providing this metric directly in the interface would help customers monitor support performance and identify resolution trends without manual calculation.

Lock Map Layout in Function Portal ViewOpen

NetBrain currently allows a locked map to prevent device repositioning within the full administrative client, but this lock state is not enforced when the same map is opened through the Function Portal, allowing viewers to move devices individually and alter the shared layout. This enhancement would extend the map lock setting to the Function Portal so that a locked map remains non-editable for all viewers, regardless of access method. Enforcing consistent lock behavior across both interfaces would preserve intended map layouts and prevent unintended changes when maps are shared with external or internal viewers.

Display Success Messages in Golden Intent Dashboard ResultsOpen

Golden Intent currently displays only Alert messages in the results dashboard, while the underlying Golden Config displays both Alert and Success messages for the same check. This inconsistency limits visibility into checks that passed successfully when reviewing Golden Intent output. This enhancement would update Golden Intent to surface Success messages in the dashboard in the same manner as Alert messages, matching the behavior already present in Golden Config. Providing complete pass and fail visibility would give customers a reliable, single view of compliance check results without needing to cross-reference the source Golden Config.

Device-Level Change History Dashboard with Execution TimesOpen

NetBrain's Change Management currently displays only the names of changes associated with a device, without a consolidated view of execution details or planned activity. This enhancement would introduce a device-level dashboard or report showing all executed and planned changes for a given device, including their execution times, allowing users to review change history and upcoming activity in one place. Customers using NetBrain as their change execution platform would gain improved visibility into per-device change activity, supporting better auditing, scheduling awareness, and operational planning.

Routing Front Server for Scalable Internet-Scale Route Table AutomationOpen

NetBrain currently collects routing table data through CLI-based retrieval, which becomes impractical at carrier-grade scale where route tables contain millions of entries and full-table pulls can take many hours while placing load on production routers and route reflectors. This enhancement proposes a dedicated front-end component that peers with a customer's routing infrastructure using standard routing protocols, maintains a local copy of the route table, and computes differential summaries locally, exposing only changed, added, or withdrawn prefixes to NetBrain rather than requiring repeated full-table CLI retrieval. Support for multiple routing protocols and optional integration with route monitoring or looking glass data sources would allow flexible, high-fidelity data acquisition. Customers operating at Internet-scale routing volumes would benefit from faster automation cycles, reduced control-plane stress on production devices, and more accurate, timely route change detection for intent-based validation.

Include Username in Account Deactivation Email NotificationsOpen

NetBrain currently sends an account deactivation notification email that does not include the username or account identifier of the affected user, making it difficult for recipients to determine which account was deactivated. This enhancement proposes updating the deactivation email template to include the username in the subject line and/or body of the message. Including this identifying detail would allow administrators and recipients to immediately recognize which account triggered the notification, reducing confusion and follow-up investigation.

Per-User Exemption from Session TimeoutOpen

NetBrain currently applies a single session timeout policy to all user accounts, with no option to exempt a specific user from automatic session expiration. This limitation affects use cases such as NOC dashboards that must remain open and active on a display at all times without requiring re-authentication. This enhancement would allow an administrator to configure a per-user exemption from the standard session timeout policy, independent of the global timeout setting applied to other accounts. Customers running continuous monitoring or dashboard-display accounts would benefit from uninterrupted visibility without compromising session timeout security for standard user accounts.

Preserve HTML Formatting in Network Intent Send Email ActionOpen

The Network Intent send email action currently inserts a line break tag for every line of the message body, even when the message is already formatted using HTML tags. This behavior alters the intended layout and causes unwanted spacing or broken formatting when HTML content is submitted. This enhancement proposes detecting HTML-formatted message content and suppressing the automatic insertion of line break tags in that case, allowing the HTML markup to render as authored. Customers who build HTML-formatted notifications through Network Intent would gain accurate, predictable email formatting without manual workarounds.

Role-based access control for Live Pathing calculation optionsOpen

NetBrain currently allows any user with path access to select any Live Pathing calculation option, including CLI-based active path calculation, without regard to role or device scale. On devices with extremely large routing tables, unrestricted use of these resource-intensive options can significantly degrade system performance. This enhancement would introduce role-based access controls that let administrators limit which Live Pathing calculation options a given user role is permitted to select. Customers managing high-scale routing environments would benefit from the ability to prevent inappropriate use of performance-intensive path calculation methods while still allowing appropriate access for roles that require it.

Centralized Audit Report for Email Alert ConfigurationsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide administrators with a way to view all email alert configurations across users and system intents in a single location, nor does it show which user set up a given alert. This makes it difficult for organizations to audit existing notification configurations for compliance or security review purposes. This enhancement would introduce an administrative report or dashboard that lists all configured email alerts system-wide, along with the associated user, intent, and destination email address. This would give administrators the visibility needed to audit, manage, and enforce organizational policies around email-based alerting without manually inspecting each user's individual configuration.

Neighbor Window Indicator for Devices On Map but Not LinkedOpen

NetBrain currently shows an icon in the Neighbors window only when a neighbor device is both on the map and linked, with no way to distinguish neighbors that are already on the map but not yet linked. This enhancement would add a distinct indicator for neighbors that are present on the map but lack a link, alongside the existing on-map-and-linked icon. Customers building maps through Auto Link or manual expansion of the Neighbors window would be able to quickly identify which on-map devices still require linking, reducing the manual effort needed to complete topology connections.

Consistent Color Coding Across Widgets in Universal DashboardsOpen

Universal Dashboards currently allow individual widgets to define their own color coding for status values, such as EOX status, without ensuring that the same underlying condition is represented with a consistent color across different widgets on the same dashboard. This can result in the same status being shown in different colors depending on which widget or report is displaying it, creating confusion for users reviewing the dashboard. This enhancement would introduce a way to standardize or synchronize color mapping for shared status values across widgets within a single Universal Dashboard. Consistent color coding would improve readability and reduce the risk of misinterpreting device status when comparing data across multiple panels on the same dashboard.

Allow renaming of saved SNMP credential namesOpen

NetBrain currently does not allow a saved SNMP credential name to be edited; changing the name requires creating an entirely new credential entry, which leaves the original in place and can lead to duplicate or unused credential records over time. This enhancement would allow the name field of a saved SNMP credential to be edited directly without requiring a new credential to be created. Customers managing credential naming conventions or correcting entry errors would benefit from a simpler maintenance process and a cleaner credential list.

Begins-With Match Option for Site Definition Hostname CriteriaOpen

Site definitions that rely on hostname matching currently treat the search string as a match anywhere within the hostname, so devices whose hostnames contain the matching characters in a non-leading position can be incorrectly included in a site. This creates ambiguity for customers who define sites using hostname patterns alone. This enhancement proposes adding a 'begins with' match option, such as a caret prefix operator, so that site definition criteria can anchor the match to the start of the hostname string. Customers who rely solely on hostname-based site definitions would gain more precise site membership and avoid manual review of unintended matches.

Validate GApp Data Source Selection Against Underlying QApp ConfigurationOpen

NetBrain currently allows a GApp to select 'Current Baseline' as a data source option even when that option is not enabled on any of the QApps used to build the GApp, and there is no visible setting to configure or restrict the data source at the GApp level. This can lead to unexpected results when the GApp runs against a data source it was not actually configured to support. This enhancement would validate the GApp data source selection against the data source settings enabled on its constituent QApps, either by restricting selectable options to those supported or by surfacing a clear configuration control and warning when a mismatch exists. Preventing this inconsistency would help customers avoid unexpected or inaccurate automation results and reduce troubleshooting time when diagnosing GApp output discrepancies.

Add input parameter to GetTimeString() for external time sourcesOpen

The GetTimeString() function currently calculates adjusted time using only the server's current time as its reference point, with no option to supply a different starting time value. This limits its usefulness for calculations that depend on time values from other sources, such as a device's local clock. This enhancement would add an optional input parameter allowing a specific time value to be passed into the function, with the adjusted time string returned based on that supplied value rather than the server clock. This would give customers the flexibility to perform accurate time calculations using device time or other external time sources, expanding the function's applicability beyond server-time-only scenarios.

Parse Configuration Retrieval Timestamp for Comparison and DatasetsOpen

NetBrain does not currently expose the timestamp of when a device configuration was retrieved as a parsable data field. As a result, users performing configuration comparisons or working with datasets have no reliable way to determine when a given configuration snapshot was pulled. This enhancement proposes adding the ability to parse and surface the configuration retrieval timestamp so it can be referenced in configuration comparison results and dataset outputs. Exposing this timestamp as structured data would help customers accurately correlate configuration changes to specific points in time, improving confidence in comparison results and supporting more precise audit and change analysis.

Guest access to Chatbot without NetBrain account loginOpen

NetBrain currently requires each user to have a NetBrain account in order to interact with the Chatbot, which is impractical when a chatbot needs to be shared with a large external audience. This enhancement would introduce a guest or anonymous access mode for the Chatbot, allowing end users to interact with it without provisioning an individual NetBrain login. This would enable customers to deploy self-service chatbots to large external user bases without the administrative burden of creating and managing accounts for every participant.

PDF Export Option for Network MapsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a native option to export a network map directly as a PDF file; existing export paths are limited to Visio and image formats. This enhancement proposes adding PDF as a selectable export format for L2, L3, and Site maps, alongside existing export options. Customers who need to share or archive network diagrams without requiring Visio or specialized viewers would benefit from a universally accessible, print-ready output format.

Support Layout Tags on Unknown End SystemsOpen

NetBrain currently does not allow Layout Tags to be applied to unknown end systems, which prevents the intended map layout from functioning correctly on dynamic maps containing these devices. This enhancement would extend Layout Tag support to unknown end systems so they can be included in layout logic in the same manner as recognized devices. Customers building dynamic maps with a significant number of unknown end systems would benefit from consistent, functional map layouts without manual workarounds.

Manual sort order for device groups in Observability dashboardOpen

The Observability dashboard currently sorts device groups only by alert count, from highest to lowest, with no option for users to define a custom display order. This enhancement would allow administrators to manually arrange device groups within the dashboard, such as by an assigned priority tier, rather than relying solely on alert volume. Customers who organize their network by business-defined priority levels would gain a dashboard view that reflects their operational priorities, improving triage efficiency and alignment with internal service tiers.
