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.
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.
Automatic Map Highlighting Based on Custom Device Property ValueOpen
NetBrain currently requires users to manually run a data view each time they want to visualize a custom device property on a map, with no way to have that property automatically reflected as a persistent visual indicator once a device is added. This enhancement would allow a custom device property, such as a boolean flag, to automatically trigger a default visual marker on the map, for example a device highlight or device unit, whenever the device is mapped. Customers who rely on custom properties to identify devices of interest would gain immediate visibility without repeating manual steps, reducing effort and the risk of overlooking important devices during troubleshooting.
Automation Library and Golden Assessment Support for SilverPeak SD-WAN DevicesOpen
NetBrain does not currently provide a validated automation library or Golden Assessment support for SilverPeak SD-WAN WAN Optimizer devices accessed via CLI, requiring customers to build and maintain their own scripts and checks for this platform. This enhancement would add native QApp, GApp, and Golden Assessment library content for SilverPeak SD-WAN devices, enabling standard automation and configuration compliance checks out of the box. Customers running SilverPeak SD-WAN environments would benefit from consistent, supported assessment coverage without needing to develop and maintain custom automation content.
API-Based Device Access for Deep Diagnosis TroubleshootingOpen
Deep Diagnosis troubleshooting workflows currently rely solely on CLI-based access to devices, which limits diagnostic accuracy for environments where devices are reachable only through API, such as cloud-hosted infrastructure, SD-WAN appliances, and next-generation firewalls. This enhancement would extend the Deep Diagnosis agent to leverage API access alongside CLI during troubleshooting, allowing it to gather complete and conclusive data regardless of the access method available for a given device. Customers with significant cloud-hosted or API-only device populations would benefit from more reliable and conclusive diagnostic results, reducing the need for manual investigation outside the platform.
Display Resolved Variable Values in Change Template PreviewOpen
Change templates currently display variable placeholders in the Define Change and Execute nodes even after values have been assigned to those variables, requiring users to infer the actual configuration that will be pushed to the device. This enhancement would allow the template preview to substitute assigned variable values into the displayed configuration, showing the fully resolved text that will be sent to the device. This capability would help teams managing templates with many variables confirm the exact configuration prior to execution, reducing the risk of applying an incorrect or unintended change.
Display Bridge Domain and Subnet Information in ACI NCT TableOn the Roadmap
NetBrain currently displays EPG information in the NCT table for ACI environments but does not surface related Bridge Domain or subnet details for a given IP address. This enhancement would add Bridge Domain and subnet columns to the NCT table and make this data searchable through global search. Customers managing ACI fabrics would gain faster access to Bridge Domain and subnet context during troubleshooting, reducing the need to cross-reference separate tools.
Support for importing images, documents, and PDFs into Runbook Document CustomizationOpen
NetBrain currently does not provide a way to import images, documents, or PDF files into Runbook Document Customization. This enhancement proposes adding an import option that allows users to insert one or more images, documents, or PDF files directly into the customized runbook document. Customers who rely on runbook documentation for change management or reporting would benefit from being able to incorporate supporting visual and reference materials without relying on external tools or manual workarounds.
CSV/Excel Import for Variable Lists in Define ChangeOpen
Define Change within the Network Change Runbook feature currently requires variables to be entered manually, one at a time, with no option to bulk-load values from an external file. This enhancement would add the ability to import a variable list from a CSV or Excel file directly into the Define Change step, populating the variable fields automatically. Customers managing large sets of variables or frequent change definitions would benefit from reduced manual data entry and fewer input errors, improving efficiency when preparing network changes.
Configurable Dashboard Layout Orientation with Sites as Rows and Services as ColumnsOpen
Dashboards currently present site and service health information in a fixed horizontal layout, which limits the ability to clearly compare service status across multiple sites at a glance. This enhancement would allow the dashboard layout to be configured so that site names appear vertically as rows while critical network services appear horizontally as columns. This reorientation would improve operational visibility and support faster, clearer assessment of service health across sites, particularly during incident response.
Export Historical Network Intent Alerts by Date RangeOpen
NetBrain does not currently provide a way to export the alerts generated by Network Intents over a specified historical time period; reviewing alert history across multiple intents requires manual inspection. This enhancement would add the ability to export all Network Intent alerts within a selected date range, across all running intents, to a common file format such as CSV. This would give customers a reliable way to perform historical review, reporting, and auditing of intent-generated alerts without manual data collection.
Python API for VerifyGoldenConfig FunctionOpen
NetBrain currently does not provide a Python API method for calling the VerifyGoldenConfig function outside of the Network Intent workflow. This enhancement would expose VerifyGoldenConfig as a callable Python API function, allowing external scripts to invoke golden config verification directly. Customers building automation outside of Network Intent would gain the ability to programmatically check configuration compliance without manually running a Network Intent.
