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...

Expand functionality on /api/v3/data/topn endpoint to consider custom timespan like in NMS Web UI

The /api/v3/data/topn endpoint accepts a variety of parameters (aggregation unit, device filters, sorting, etc.), but it does not include a timespan selection. While the API response does include a label attribute (e.g., "Today") and a timeRanges ...

Enable Application-Level Message Batching in SevOne Data Publisher (SDP) for Array-of-JSON Format

Problem Statement Current Behavior: SevOne Data Publisher (SDP) currently sends one data point per message to Kafka/Pulsar/Event Hub publishers. While Kafka has protocol-level batching for network efficiency, consumers still receive individual JSO...

Alert Webhook "sent" verification

My customer had an incident where they did not think they were receiving Webhooks from SevOne trap Alerts in their PagerDuty system. In the end, the issue was a disabled usergroup in PagerDuty that was causing the issue and "hiding" the webhooks i...

Improve SNMP walk API endpoint in SevOne NPM

There should be a v3 API endpoint to run a SNMP walk command from any peer to a device. Enhancing /api/v3/metadata/devices/snmpwalk might work for this purpose. Currently, it does not take a peer ID as an argument. The ability to specify a specifi...

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...

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 ...
