Restart Option for Individual Pending Data Migration Task EntriesOpen

NetBrain currently allows users to multi-select and restart pending data migration tasks in bulk, but certain individual entries do not display a start option, leaving deletion as the only available action for that entry. This enhancement would extend the restart action to individual pending migration entries so the same start capability available in multi-select scenarios is consistently accessible for single entries. Customers managing data migration tasks would benefit from being able to resume a specific pending entry without deleting and recreating it, reducing administrative effort and avoiding unnecessary data loss.

Native Integration with Dynatrace Monitoring PlatformOpen

NetBrain does not currently offer a native or certified integration with Dynatrace, a widely used application performance monitoring platform. This enhancement would add a supported integration that allows NetBrain to exchange device and monitoring data with Dynatrace, enabling cross-referencing of network visibility data with application performance insights. Customers evaluating or running Dynatrace alongside NetBrain would benefit from consolidated visibility across network and application layers, reducing manual effort in correlating data between the two platforms.

Configurable data size limit for API parser inputOn the Roadmap

The API parser currently applies a fixed data size limit of approximately 2MB when receiving payloads from custom API adapters. When the data passed to the parser exceeds this threshold, the parser returns a truncated string rather than the complete payload, with no option to adjust the limit. This enhancement would make the API parser data size limit a configurable setting, allowing administrators to raise the threshold to match their integration needs. Customers building custom API adapters that return larger data sets would be able to process complete responses without truncation or the need for workarounds that split data into smaller chunks.

Time Zone Selection for Change Schedules and Command Syntax ValidationOpen

NetBrain currently schedules network change tasks using a single system or default time reference, requiring users to manually calculate offsets when working across time zones. In addition, the product does not validate command syntax when defining change commands, so entries with typographical errors, such as an incorrect command form, are not flagged before execution. This enhancement would add a configurable time zone setting for network change scheduling, allowing tasks to be scheduled directly in a user's local time zone without manual conversion. It would also introduce syntax or typo detection when change commands are defined, alerting users to likely command errors before they are applied. These additions would reduce scheduling errors across distributed teams and lower the risk of failed or incorrect command execution during network changes.

Option to Log In Using Device MGMT IP from Smart CLIOn the Roadmap

When a user identifies a device by an IP address during troubleshooting and initiates a Smart CLI login, the session currently connects using the IP address that was entered, rather than the MGMT IP configured for that device in Shared Device Settings. This can result in login attempts against an unintended interface when the entered IP differs from the device's designated management address. This enhancement would allow Smart CLI to log in using the MGMT IP stored in Shared Device Settings for the identified device, either by default or through a selectable option to choose which IP address is used for the connection. Customers would benefit from more reliable and consistent device access during troubleshooting, since login behavior would align with the management IP intended for administrative access rather than the IP address used only to identify the device.

Wildcard search support in Smart CLI device selectorOn the Roadmap

The Smart CLI device search currently requires users to type an exact or partial contiguous string to locate a device, without support for wildcard characters such as an asterisk to represent any sequence of characters. This enhancement would add asterisk-based wildcard matching to the Smart CLI device search field, consistent with the pattern-matching behavior found in common network automation consoles. Customers managing large device inventories would benefit from faster, more flexible device lookup, reducing the time spent scrolling or typing exact names when initiating a Smart CLI session.

Network Intent Function to Expand Subnet into Individual IP AddressesOpen

NetBrain currently provides a function to determine the subnet of a given IP address, but does not offer the reverse capability of expanding a subnet into its list of individual IP addresses. This limitation requires users to manually enumerate IP addresses within a subnet when building automation scripts. This enhancement proposes adding a Network Intent function that accepts a subnet as input and returns all IP addresses contained within it. Customers building automated test workflows, such as dynamically pinging all critical IP addresses in a subnet, would benefit from reduced manual configuration and more reliable, scalable automation.

API method to populate ADT with external IP address dataOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide a way for external systems to populate an Automated Data Table (ADT) through the API. Users must manually enter or import IP address lists into an ADT before automation can act on that data. This enhancement would introduce a REST API endpoint that allows external systems to write or update ADT contents, such as a list of IP addresses, so that NetBrain can immediately operate on the supplied data. Customers running triggered automation workflows would benefit from being able to feed data into NetBrain programmatically, removing the need for manual data entry and enabling tighter integration with external systems.

Scheduled Task Option for Tune Live AccessOpen

NetBrain currently requires administrators to manually run Tune Live Access or Re-validate from Shared Settings whenever SNMP or SSH connectivity fails, since the daily system benchmark only checks SSH credentials and does not validate SNMP. This enhancement would add a GUI option to schedule Tune Live Access or Re-validate as a recurring task, similar to other scheduled system tasks. Customers who rely on automated data collection and live network access would benefit from reduced manual intervention and faster recovery from intermittent connectivity failures.

Change Management support for Aruba Central-managed devices via APIOpen

NetBrain Change Management currently does not support pushing configuration changes to devices managed through Aruba Central via its API, requiring customers to rely on manual, out-of-band processes for these devices. This enhancement would extend Change Management to integrate with the Aruba Central API, enabling configuration changes to be pushed and tracked in the same manner as other supported device platforms. Customers managing Aruba Central environments would benefit from consistent, automated change workflows and reduced manual effort in maintaining device configurations.

Support for Sudo-Elevated Commands in Parser ExecutionOpen

NetBrain parser execution currently cannot process commands that require privilege elevation, such as commands prefixed with 'sudo' on Linux-based network operating systems. When a device requires a password prompt to complete an elevated read-only command, the parser task fails or cannot proceed without a supported way to supply and respond to that credential challenge. This enhancement would allow the parser to detect a sudo or similar elevation prompt and automatically supply the configured device credentials to complete execution. Supporting this capability would allow customers running Linux-based network operating systems to automate log and data collection tasks that rely on privilege-elevated commands, removing the need for manual workarounds.

Remove NCT Table options for Internet Cloud objectsOpen

NetBrain currently allows users to select Generate NCT Table and View NCT Table options when right-clicking an Internet Cloud object in the cloud manager, even though these options are only intended to function for MPLS L3 VPN cloud types. This enhancement would remove or disable the Generate NCT Table and View NCT Table menu options when the selected cloud object type is Internet Cloud. Customers configuring cloud objects would benefit from a cleaner, more accurate interface that only presents actionable options relevant to the selected cloud type, reducing confusion during topology configuration.

Configurable 'None' Option for MAC Table Retrieval Method per Device DriverOpen

NetBrain currently allows the MAC Table retrieval method for a device driver to be set to 'None' only through a direct database change, rather than through a supported configuration option, even when a device driver variant does not have a MAC table to retrieve. This enhancement would expose the retrieval method selection, including a 'None' option, as a standard configurable setting for applicable device drivers. Customers managing devices with driver variants that differ in MAC table availability would be able to configure retrieval behavior correctly without relying on unsupported database modifications, reducing configuration errors and support effort.

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.

Help Icon Guidance Explaining Why Intent Diagnosis Results Are Not Saved During PA ExecutionsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently provides no in-product explanation for why Intent Diagnosis results may fail to save during Proactive Automation (PA) executions, leaving customers without context when this scenario occurs. This enhancement would add guidance to the Help Icon describing the common causes of Intent Diagnosis results not saving during PA executions. Surfacing this information would help customers self-diagnose the scenario and reduce reliance on support engagement for clarification.

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.

Tenant-Scoped Visibility for User Management PrivilegeOn the Roadmap

In multi-tenant environments, users who are granted the User Management privilege can currently view Applicant List, Existing User List, and Edit User details for all tenants and domains on the platform, rather than only their own. This enhancement would scope the User Management privilege so that a user with this privilege can view and manage only the applicant and user account information belonging to their assigned tenant or domain. This capability would be particularly valuable for MSP deployments, where multiple customers share the same platform and administrators must be prevented from viewing user information belonging to other tenants.

Copy or Duplicate Existing Diagnosis DefinitionsIn Development

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to copy or duplicate an existing Diagnosis definition, requiring users to manually recreate similar diagnoses from scratch even when only minor changes are needed. This enhancement would add a copy or clone option at the Diagnosis level, allowing users to create a new Diagnosis based on an existing one and then adjust only the necessary details. Customers managing multiple similar diagnoses would save significant configuration time and reduce the risk of manual entry errors when building related Diagnosis definitions.

Centralized Static Value Configuration for CSV Used in Network IntentOn the Roadmap

When using a CSV within Network Intent, a static value referenced by the CSV currently must be entered separately in each diagnosis that uses that CSV, with no mechanism to define it once and have it apply universally. This enhancement proposes allowing a static value to be configured a single time for a given CSV and automatically reflected wherever that same CSV is referenced across diagnoses. Customers managing multiple diagnoses built on shared CSV data would benefit from reduced manual configuration effort and lower risk of inconsistent values across related intents.
