Native Microsoft Teams and Slack Integration for Network AlertsOpen

NetBrain currently has no native mechanism to deliver real-time alerts, such as network anomaly alerts, path trace failures, and benchmark deviations, into collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams or Slack. Engineers must log into the NetBrain portal to check for these conditions rather than receiving them where their teams already communicate. This enhancement proposes native integrations with Microsoft Teams and Slack that push relevant alerts directly to configured channels. Delivering alerts into existing collaboration workflows would reduce response time and eliminate the need for manual portal checks.

Restrict representative device selection to fully accessible devices in test replicationOpen

NetBrain currently selects representative devices for test replication without regard to whether those devices are fully accessible, which can include devices with only partial connectivity such as SNMP-only or ping-only access. This limits confidence in replication outcomes, since a failure or inconsistency may stem from incomplete device access rather than the model or intent being tested. This enhancement would allow the representative device selection process for test replication to consider only devices that are fully accessible to NetBrain, such as those with confirmed CLI or API access. Customers would gain greater confidence that replication results reflect the actual behavior of the network intent rather than being skewed by device access limitations, reducing troubleshooting effort and improving the reliability of automation testing.

Automatic MPLS Cloud Object Population on Drag-and-DropOpen

NetBrain currently does not automatically populate MPLS cloud objects on a map when a device is dragged and dropped onto that map. Users must take additional manual steps to have the MPLS cloud object appear and connect correctly with the newly placed device. This enhancement would ensure that MPLS cloud objects are automatically detected and rendered on the map as part of the drag-and-drop workflow. Customers building or maintaining WAN topology maps would benefit from more accurate, complete topology visibility without extra manual configuration steps.

Enlarge Runbook input fields to support longer text entriesOn the Roadmap

Runbook input fields currently present as small, single-line text boxes with a limited character capacity, which restricts the amount of detail a user can enter when populating fields for integrations, such as third-party change request systems that support longer text entries. This enhancement would enlarge the input field display to span multiple rows and increase the supported character limit to align with common third-party field capacities. Customers would gain the ability to enter detailed implementation plans, justifications, and other extended information directly within Runbook inputs without truncation or workaround.

Search Support for Layer 2 (Non-Routable) MAC AddressesOpen

NetBrain search currently allows users to locate a MAC address only when it is associated with a Layer 3 interface; MAC addresses learned solely at Layer 2, such as entries found in a switch's MAC address table for non-routable segments, cannot be located through search. This enhancement proposes extending the search functionality to also query Layer 2 MAC address table data, so that a MAC address can be found regardless of whether it is tied to an L3 interface or exists only in an L2 forwarding table. This would allow customers to quickly locate the switch and port associated with a given MAC address without manually running CLI commands, improving troubleshooting efficiency in L2-only network segments.

Word Export and Content Template Manager Support for Universal DashboardsOpen

Universal Dashboards currently cannot be exported to Word or any other document format, and they are not available as a selectable content type within the Content Template Manager. This enhancement proposes adding native export functionality for Universal Dashboards to Word, along with an option to include Universal Dashboards as a component when building new Word document templates through the Content Template Manager. Supporting these capabilities would streamline the documentation workflow for partners and end users, allowing dashboard insights to be incorporated directly into reports and templates without manual recreation.

Per-macro input source configuration in chatbot automationOpen

Chatbot macros currently require input values to be fed through a single, uniform method across all macros in a bot, with no option to assign a different input source per individual macro. This enhancement would allow each macro within a chatbot to be independently configured with its own input source, such as manual entry for one macro and an external table feed (for example, an ADT-backed source) for another. Customers building chatbots that reference a mix of static and dynamically sourced values, such as IP, MAC, and location data, would be able to configure each macro according to how that data is actually maintained, reducing manual upkeep and improving the accuracy of automated responses.

Add Shared Folder Option to Plugin ManagerOpen

Plugin Manager currently does not provide a shared folder option, which limits users to organizing plugins in personal or local locations only. This enhancement would introduce a shared folder within Plugin Manager, allowing multiple users to access, organize, and manage a common set of plugins in one place. Customers with distributed teams would benefit from improved plugin reuse and consistency, reducing duplicate effort and simplifying plugin governance across the organization.

Reuse macro variable input on condition-based automation re-runOpen

Today, when a chatbot automation uses a condition statement to re-run itself after detecting a specific diagnosis result, the system prompts the user to re-enter macro variable input rather than reusing the value already supplied in the initial run. This enhancement would add an option to retain and automatically reuse the prior macro variable input for subsequent iterations triggered by a condition statement, rather than requiring manual re-entry each time. This would streamline conditional automation workflows and reduce unnecessary user interaction during automated diagnosis and remediation cycles.

Support for Multiple Table Outputs in Intent DVTOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently limits Intent DVT to displaying a single table per device on the map. When an Intent executes two commands that each produce tabular output, the second table overwrites the first, preventing both result sets from being viewed at once. This enhancement would allow Intent DVT to render multiple tables concurrently on the map when multiple commands with tabular output are executed for the same device. Supporting simultaneous multi-table display would give customers complete visibility into all command results without manual workarounds, improving efficiency during troubleshooting and validation workflows.

Path creation and calculation support in ChatbotOpen

Portal users interacting with the Chatbot currently have no way to create or calculate a network path directly within the conversational interface. This enhancement would allow users to specify source, destination, and port inputs through the Chatbot to trigger path creation and to view or live-calculate the resulting path and associated applications. Extending path capabilities into the Chatbot would give customers a faster, more accessible way to perform path troubleshooting without switching to the full application interface.

Zoom to Fit, Fit Width, and Fit Height Options for MapsOpen

NetBrain maps currently require users to manually adjust zoom level to view the full topology or a specific dimension of it, with no automated option to fit the visible content to the map window. This enhancement would add Zoom to Fit, Zoom to Fit Width, and Zoom to Fit Height controls, allowing the map view to automatically scale to the available display area. This capability would reduce manual zoom adjustments and improve usability when reviewing maps of varying sizes and layouts.

Detailed Usage Logging for Chat Bot Automation ExecutionsOpen

NetBrain currently does not provide detailed usage logs for Chat Bot interactions, leaving administrators without visibility into which user triggered a given automation, which automation was executed, or how frequently it was run. This enhancement would introduce a logging capability that records Chat Bot usage details, including the initiating user, the automation invoked, and execution frequency. Customers would gain improved auditability and oversight of Chat Bot activity, supporting governance and troubleshooting of automation usage across their teams.

Specify Target Map Object for Change Creation via Network Intent RemediationOpen

When a change is created through the Remediation action within a Network Intent, the system does not use a map object that the user has already created and saved; instead, it relies on a different, unsaved map for change creation. This requires the user to separately save the map used during the change process, creating an inconsistent workflow. This enhancement would allow users to specify which existing map object should be used for change creation when a Remediation action is triggered from a Network Intent. Supporting this capability would reduce redundant map-saving steps and provide consistent, predictable behavior when generating changes from automated diagnostics.

License-Based Visibility Control for ServiceNow Diagnosis FeaturesOpen

NetBrain currently displays the auto-diagnosis, Select Diagnosis, and Network Map features within the ServiceNow integration regardless of whether a customer holds a Problem Analysis license. Customers without this license have no option to hide these features from their ServiceNow interface, resulting in visible options that are not accessible to their entitlement. This enhancement would allow the ServiceNow integration to check license entitlement and conditionally hide auto-diagnosis, Select Diagnosis, and Network Map when the Problem Analysis license is not present. Customers would benefit from a cleaner interface that reflects only the features included in their licensed capabilities, reducing confusion and support inquiries related to inaccessible options.

Layout Tagging Support for Unknown End SystemsOpen

NetBrain currently allows tagging of devices and end systems to control their placement within a map layout hierarchy, but this tagging capability does not extend to unknown end systems. As a result, when a layout is applied to maps generated by an intent, unknown end systems are placed in random locations instead of following the defined layout structure. This enhancement would extend tagging support to unknown end systems so they can be positioned consistently within the layout hierarchy. Providing this capability would improve visual consistency and reduce the need for manual repositioning on maps that include unknown end systems.

Filter Chat Bot candidate device list to only replicated ADT devicesOpen

When using an Automated Data Table as the source for candidate devices in Chat Bot, the dropdown menu currently displays all devices in the table regardless of whether each device has the relevant replicated Network Intent data. This means devices without the applicable replicated data still appear as selectable options, requiring manual verification before use. This enhancement would add a filter to the Chat Bot candidate device dropdown so that only devices with the required replicated Network Intent are shown. Customers using ADT-driven Chat Bot workflows would gain a more accurate device selection experience and reduce the risk of choosing devices that lack the necessary data for the intended automation task.

Customizable Bus Icon on L2/L3 MapsOpen

NetBrain currently renders the Bus icon on L2 and L3 maps using a fixed, non-configurable appearance, giving administrators no way to visually distinguish or customize how shared network segments are represented. This enhancement would allow administrators to select or configure an alternative icon for the Bus element on maps. Providing this flexibility would improve map readability and let customers align the visual representation of shared segments with their own diagramming conventions.

Dedicated CLI Timeout Setting for Change Management ModuleOpen

NetBrain currently applies a single global forced CLI timeout setting of 600 seconds, which is shared across all modules and cannot be adjusted specifically for Change Management operations such as image uploads or other tasks that require longer execution windows. This enhancement would introduce a dedicated, configurable CLI timeout setting for the Change Management module, independent of the global forced CLI timeout value. Providing this control would allow administrators to accommodate longer-running change tasks without altering timeout behavior for other parts of the product, reducing task failures caused by premature timeouts during change execution.

Export Cisco ACI License Consumption Details by PortOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not provide a way to export Cisco ACI license consumption details, including which ports are consuming licenses. This enhancement would add an export capability for ACI license usage that lists port-level license consumption alongside existing license summary data. Customers managing ACI environments would benefit from improved visibility into license allocation, enabling more accurate license audits and capacity planning.

Conditional ADT Rebuild Based on Seed Intent ChangeOpen

NetBrain currently rebuilds Automated Data Tables (ADTs) on every scheduled or triggered cycle, regardless of whether the underlying seed intent has actually changed, which consumes unnecessary processing time and system resources. This enhancement would introduce a change-detection mechanism that compares the current seed intent state against the prior state and initiates a full ADT rebuild only when a meaningful change is detected. This capability would reduce processing overhead and shorten rebuild cycles, particularly benefiting environments with large device inventories or frequent scheduled rebuild intervals.

Reflect Failed Status for Path Browser Tasks Terminated ExternallyOpen

NetBrain does not currently update a Path Browser task's status to Failed when the task process is terminated externally, such as through a system task manager. As a result, the task status may remain inaccurate or unclear, leaving no reliable indicator that the task did not complete successfully. This enhancement would detect external termination of a running Path Browser task and update its status to Failed accordingly. Accurate status reporting would give customers confidence in monitoring task outcomes and would reduce the need for manual verification when a task is unexpectedly stopped.

Lock Capability for Shared ParsersOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently allows shared Qapps to be locked to prevent unintended or unauthorized changes, but shared parsers do not have an equivalent locking mechanism. This enhancement would extend the existing lock capability to shared parsers, allowing administrators to protect them from unreviewed edits. This is important because an unprotected shared parser can be modified inadvertently, which may in turn damage any shared Qapp that depends on it.

Per-User Control to Disable Notification and Admin EmailsOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently does not allow administrators to disable notification or admin-level email alerts for a specific individual user while leaving that user's automatic update functionality intact. Email settings are managed in a way that does not separate notification preferences from update processing on a per-user basis. This enhancement would introduce a user-level setting that allows an administrator to disable notification and admin email alerts for a designated user account without impacting that user's automatic update process. This would give organizations greater flexibility to manage email preferences for specific roles, such as executive or admin-level users, without disrupting core system functionality.

Export Site Maps to Box Cloud StorageOn the Roadmap

NetBrain currently supports exporting Visio site maps to local or on-premise file locations, but does not provide an option to export directly to a Box cloud storage share path. This enhancement would add Box as a configurable destination for both manual and scheduled Visio site map export tasks. Customers who rely on Box for centralized document sharing would be able to automate distribution of network diagrams without manual file transfer steps.
