Configurable Visibility for Smart CLI Download Prompt and Admin Login LinkOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide administrative controls to hide the 'Download NetBrain Smart CLI' prompt from the application dropdown menu or to remove the link to the administrator login page from the standard user login screen. This enhancement would introduce configuration options allowing administrators to toggle the visibility of these elements. Providing this control would help organizations align the login and menu experience with internal security policies, particularly in environments where SSO is enforced and exposure of alternate login paths or client download prompts is undesirable.

Editable Generic Device and Interface Names with Bulk CSV Import for Generic Device ConfigurationOpen

NetBrain currently locks the name field for a generic device and its associated L3 interfaces once the record is saved, requiring the device or interface to be deleted and rebuilt entirely to correct a naming mistake. Additionally, generic devices with multiple aggregate interfaces and associated VLANs must be configured one field at a time, which becomes time-consuming for environments with many devices and interface variations. This enhancement proposes allowing users to edit the name of a saved generic device and its L3 interfaces without requiring deletion and recreation, along with a CSV or Excel import option to bulk populate aggregate interfaces and VLAN assignments for generic devices. This would reduce manual rework and significantly speed up configuration for customers managing large numbers of generic devices with complex interface structures.

Persistent Toggle Mode for Map Stencil and Line Drawing ToolsOpen

NetBrain currently requires users to reselect a stencil element, such as a line or draw path, from a dropdown menu each time it is placed on a map, which becomes inefficient when many instances of the same element are needed in one session. This enhancement would convert frequently used stencil options into button-based tools that remain active, or held, after selection until the user manually deselects them, allowing repeated placement without repeating the selection step. This would streamline map annotation workflows for users who need to place a large number of the same element, reducing repetitive clicks and improving overall efficiency.

Filter option to exclude ignored/unchanged rules from Change Analysis ReportOpen

The Change Analysis Report currently does not offer an option to exclude ignored or unchanged rules from its output, requiring users to manually filter through the full rule list to identify meaningful changes. This enhancement would add a configuration option allowing users to generate a report that includes only added, deleted, and changed rules, omitting ignored and unchanged entries. Customers managing large device inventories would benefit from a more focused report that surfaces only actionable changes, reducing manual review effort.

IPv6-only support for NetBrain server deploymentOpen

NetBrain servers, including web, front, and worker servers, currently require IPv4 connectivity and do not support installation or operation in an IPv6-only network environment. Attempting to enable IPv6 on these servers without retaining IPv4 results in application instability, and enabling IPv6 alongside IPv4 has been observed to degrade web server response time. This enhancement would add native support for IPv6-only configurations across NetBrain server components, allowing the application to install and run correctly without requiring a dual-stack or IPv4 fallback. Customers operating under IPv6-only infrastructure mandates would be able to deploy and maintain NetBrain without compatibility workarounds, supporting long-term network modernization initiatives.

Support Parsed Variables as Widget Data Sources in Intent DashboardsOpen

Intent Dashboards currently support widgets based on alert conditions, such as identifying interfaces generating high utilization alerts, but cannot display the underlying parsed variable values themselves, such as actual interface input/output rates. This enhancement would allow parsed variables from Network Intents to be selected as data sources for dashboard widgets, enabling display of raw metric values alongside alert-based indicators. Customers monitoring critical infrastructure would gain more complete visibility into operational metrics without needing to build separate reporting workarounds.

Support for variables in Intent Dashboard widgetsOpen

Intent Dashboards today cannot use parsed variable values, such as an SNMP contact field, to group or break down widget data. This enhancement would allow dashboard widgets to reference variables captured through Network Intents, so results can be aggregated or filtered by a variable value, such as team ownership or device attribute. Supporting variables in dashboards would let customers build more granular compliance and status reporting, such as showing compliant and non-compliant device counts organized by the responsible team, without requiring manual data manipulation outside the platform.

Geographic Map View for Device Location VisualizationOpen

NetBrain maps currently render devices against a neutral background using logical or custom layout positioning, without any geographic reference or integration with mapping services. Customers cannot view devices plotted according to their real-world physical location. This enhancement would introduce geolocation capability, allowing devices to be displayed on a geographic map (such as a street or regional map layer) based on their physical coordinates, with support for panning and zooming similar to standard mapping applications. This capability would be valuable for organizations, such as service providers, that manage geographically distributed infrastructure and need to quickly correlate device location with physical service areas during troubleshooting.

North/South Auto Layout Based on Device RoleOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide an auto layout option that arranges devices according to their network role, requiring users to manually position edge devices separately from internal devices on a map. This enhancement would introduce a North/South layout style that automatically places edge-facing devices, such as firewalls, routers, and SD-WAN appliances, toward the top of the map, while internal LAN devices, such as access switches, are placed toward the bottom. This would improve map readability and provide a consistent, role-based visual structure that helps customers quickly distinguish edge infrastructure from internal network components without manual rearrangement.

Granular Role Permission for Map Export from FoldersOpen

NetBrain currently restricts the ability to export maps directly from folders to users holding the Administrator role, with no separate role attribute available to grant this capability alone. This enhancement would introduce a distinct, assignable permission for map export that administrators can grant to a user without conferring full administrative rights. Customers would benefit from tighter adherence to least-privilege access principles, allowing map export tasks to be delegated without expanding a user's broader administrative access.

REST API to retrieve shared network SNMP credentialsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a RESTful API method to retrieve the full list of configured shared network SNMP credentials, including SNMP read and privilege credentials that are not actively assigned to any device. Users can only query which shared credentials are in use by specific devices, leaving no way to programmatically audit the complete credential set. This enhancement would add an API endpoint to list all shared network SNMP credentials configured in a domain, regardless of device assignment. Customers automating credential audits and compliance checks would benefit from complete visibility into configured credentials without relying on manual review through the user interface.

Annotation Tools on Top-Level Master Site MapOpen

NetBrain currently does not display annotation options, such as stencils and callouts, on the top-level Master Site Map, even though these tools are available on container and leaf site maps. This inconsistency limits the ability to add visual context or notes directly on the highest-level network view. This enhancement would extend the existing annotation toolbar to the top-level Master Site Map, aligning its capabilities with other map levels. Providing consistent annotation support across all map levels would improve documentation clarity and give customers a uniform editing experience regardless of map hierarchy position.

Hardware Change Detection Option in Fine TuneOpen

Fine Tune currently provides a Hostname Change option that flags devices when their hostname has changed, but it does not offer an equivalent option to detect changes to device hardware. This enhancement would add a Hardware Change option under Fine Tune, following the same detection pattern as the existing Hostname Change option, to flag devices when hardware attributes are modified. Customers would benefit from improved visibility into hardware changes across their network, supporting more accurate change tracking and asset management within their existing Fine Tune workflow.

New Device Category and Icon for Microwave Radio DevicesOpen

NetBrain currently does not offer a distinct device category for microwave radio equipment, so these devices must be classified under existing, unrelated Main Types and lack a representative icon. This enhancement would introduce a new Radio Main Type category, along with a corresponding icon, so that microwave radio devices can be accurately classified and visually distinguished on maps. Customers deploying microwave backhaul links would benefit from improved topology accuracy and clearer visual identification of this device class within their network diagrams.

CSV Attachment Option for Dashboard Email NotificationsOpen

NetBrain currently allows Diagnosis Results to be exported manually as a CSV file from a Dashboard, but scheduled Dashboard email notifications do not support including this CSV as an attachment. This enhancement proposes adding an option, when configuring Dashboard email notifications, to automatically attach the exported Diagnosis Results CSV to the notification email. This would allow customers running scheduled diagnostic tasks to receive results directly via email without needing to log in and export the data manually, improving efficiency for teams monitoring recurring diagnostic outputs.

Progress and Status Visibility for ADT-Triggered Intent ExecutionOpen

NetBrain currently provides no visibility into the progress or status of an Intent execution triggered from an Automated Data Table (ADT). Users must manually rebuild the table to determine whether results are complete, which becomes impractical for large ADTs with many devices. This enhancement would add a status or progress indicator that reflects the execution state of each Intent triggered from an ADT, allowing users to monitor completion without repeatedly rebuilding the table. This would reduce wait time and uncertainty for users running large-scale preventive automation checks, particularly in environments with sizable device inventories.

Built-in device uptime property using CLI-based parsingOpen

NetBrain does not currently provide system uptime as a built-in device property. The existing workaround relies on an SNMP OID that uses a 32-bit tick counter, which resets after approximately 497 days and produces inaccurate results for devices with longer uptime. This enhancement would add device uptime as a native, built-in property populated through CLI-based parsing during discovery, rather than through a custom Qapp or SNMP polling. Customers with long-running network devices would gain accurate, out-of-the-box visibility into uptime without needing custom scripting or workarounds.
