What's New

🧠 AI Deep Diagnosis — Root Cause Without the Runaround

Your team can now get a complete root-cause conclusion — with key findings, diagnostic checkpoints, and recommended next actions — in few minutes, with zero manual steps. Deep Diagnosis works autonomously using your live digital twin, running CLI checks, intent validations, and map analysis in the background. The result lands directly in your incident view, ready to share or export.

📋 Quick Assessment — Scope It Once, Run It Anytime

You can now define an assessment scope once — targeting a device group, site, or ADT — and run it as a single runbook node. This means your most common compliance and health checks are a single click away, without rebuilding the scope each time. Results can be templatized and pushed to any dashboard automatically.

⚙️ GAL Update — 14 New Golden Intents Available

The latest GAL release adds 14 new Golden Intents covering BGP route validation, OSPF neighbor state checks, and Cloud Security Group drift detection. If your team hasn't updated the library recently, this is worth installing immediately — it's free capability you already own.

(was 4 hours)

A global energy supermajor's unconventional-energy network team ran 12 straight months across 800+ remote, multi-vendor sites — without a single change-related outage. The headline came from a three-stage change-protection model — pre-change validation, real-time runbook signals, post-change continuous monitoring — with NetBrain at the center. From "let me check NetBrain" to "did you check NetBrain first?", a tool became a team habit.
