Network Management System (NMS)

Configuration option to preserve ifOperStatus data polled during ifLastChange updates

In the current implementation, SevOne discards all polled data for a given polling interval whenever it detects an update to ifLastChange. Although this behaviour is designed to maintain data consistency, it introduces a significant limitation for...

Improved Feedback to User when Max Query Size is reached

Currently if the user makes a massive query that is very big the feedback message given to the user is "SevOne Appliance is currently unreachable". I don't believe this is a accurate representation of the system state. This can lead the user to be...

Device Groups and Object Groups, currently set to a static amount of 50 per page. It would be nice to change that to 1000 like you can on the Device Manager page.

We have thousands of devices and millions of objects, and we need to be able to scroll down quickly through the list instead of waiting and waiting for each page to load.

In the Cluster Master, on the Peers tab, it would be nice to be able to save the column configuration you choose.

I have to move the columns around to see the object volume next to the peer names. I'll make device move changes and have to refresh to see the new amounts, but the columns always jump back to the way they were initially. It would be nice to save ...

GET/POST API for Scheduled discovery timeframe for each poller

I'm looking for to obtain the scheduled discovery timeline for each pair on the cluster. We have different set of days and hours to run on peers depending of the region (NA/EMEA/APAC). So we are looking for a way to query every peer and see which ...

Alerts to trigger when condition has remained continuously active for 48 hours.

We need the alert to trigger only when a particular condition has remained continuously active for 48 hours. However, we’ve observed that the alert policy’s evaluation window is capped at a maximum of 120 minutes.

Make SevOne SSO fully resilient so authentication continues to work automatically during leader failover without manual reconfiguration

SevOne removed support for RADIUS/TACACS in recent versions, leaving LDAP (resilient but weak/single‑factor) and SSO (strong but not resilient).Currently, SevOne SSO breaks during cluster leader failover and requires manual reconfiguration of both...

The return of global search

This would apply to either NMS or DI. Previously NMS had a global search bar available in the top header of the NMS GUI. This search was insanely useful to us as we would troubleshoot customer issues, or work through problems with devices. Since w...

There should be a v3 API endpoint to run a ping command from any peer to a device

The ability to specify a specific peer to ping an arbitrary device by id, name or management address would be helpful for process automation, particularly for very large scale SevOne clusters. It's not clear what part of the API schema it should b...

Provide safe way to execute certain tasks which had been automated prior to 7.0 as a root user

Root access removed in NMS 7.0+ breaks customer automation workflows, particularly certificate renewal automation. As certificate lifecycles decrease, manual renewal becomes unsustainable without a least-privilege alternative. Operational Risk Cer...
