NetAI Core

NetAI Release Notes - May 2026 (v26.2.1.1)

=== NEW FEATURES ===

• Application Tour Introduced a guided in-app onboarding tour to improve first-time user experience and feature discoverability. Includes a step-by-step walkthrough across key application areas, smart mount observer support for dynamically rendered UI elements, and automatic waiting for UI readiness before progressing to the next step. Improves onboarding consistency across complex workflows.

• License Renewal Flow Launched a complete license renewal management workflow with support for multiple deployment environments. Provides an end-to-end license renewal process supporting both remote and air-gapped license renewal, and is seamlessly integrated with the existing auto-approval flow. Simplifies license lifecycle management and renewal operations.

• Chatbot Feedback Actions Enhanced chatbot usability with built-in response interaction tools. Added Like and Dislike actions for quick feedback collection and introduced Copy Response functionality for easy content reuse. Improves response quality tracking and user productivity.

• Breadcrumb Refresh and Config Sync Added refresh controls within breadcrumbs for instant data synchronization. The refresh button now re-fetches all APIs with the latest timestamp, ensuring users always view the most up-to-date configuration state. Improves operational accuracy during live monitoring and configuration updates.

• Alarms and Alerting Enhancements End-to-end improvements across alarm configuration, delivery, and navigation. Introduced Dynamic CRUD APIs for alert configurations, enabling runtime control over batch size, Prometheus timeout, and other alerting parameters. Alerts opened from the bell icon now redirect users to the correct originating site context. Provides a smoother multi-site navigation experience and reduces operational confusion during alarm investigation.

• MOP History and UI Enhancements Expanded MOP Agent capabilities with historical visibility and UI refinements. Added a dedicated MOP History view, improved visibility into past workflow executions, and refined MOP Agent themes and interface consistency. Enhances workflow tracking and operational auditing.

• Queue Management, Task Limits and Retention Controls Introduced advanced queue management capabilities within Discovery Settings, backed by new task-limit APIs. Added a new Queue Management tab for Celery queue operations, allowing operators to view and manage queue-specific tasks. New CRUD APIs for task soft and hard limits give operators direct control over task execution thresholds including Time Limit and Soft Time Limit, with changes saved independently per queue row. Added Dashboard Data Retention controls under GNN Configuration. Improves backend task management and operational stability.

• Configuration Change Excel Reports Added enhanced reporting support for configuration auditing. Configuration change reports can now be exported in Excel format and include complete device configuration details. Simplifies auditing, tracking, and offline analysis.

• RCA Engine Enhancements Enhanced the Root Cause Analysis engine with improved automation and execution control. Added configurable auto RCA scanning for open alarms with support for selectable auto-scan intervals, and introduced a manual Fire Now execution option. Added frontend and backend performance visibility metrics, and overlapping RCA executions are now prevented for reliable operation. Improves monitoring stability and RCA engine observability.

• API and Backend Enhancements Backend surface area expanded to support richer frontend experiences and operator control. The backend API now returns the WebSSH connection type in its response, enabling richer frontend rendering of connection metadata. Introduced a description table under agent, providing a structured place to surface agent-level metadata, and added a description column in the Agent listing for easier identification.

=== BUG FIXES ===

• Alarms and Alerting Resolved a long-standing issue where alarm rules were not reloaded in the VM UI after a new site was created. Fixed SMTP delivery inconsistencies and duplicate alarm generation, along with general alarm implementation fixes for stability and consistency.

• Security and Authentication Fixed unauthorized access where users could directly open the alarm page from bell-icon notifications. Resolved multiple password reset flow issues including redirect to the reset page on password expiry, automatic logout after password change, and correct eye-icon alignment during font-size changes. Fixed RADIUS integration issues related to password handling, role-mapping group-name interactions, and Radius Group Name rendering which previously failed to display correctly in the UI. Removed unnecessary Sign Up and Email ID fields from the integration form to simplify onboarding.

• Topology and Visualization Corrected multiple Multilayer Topology issues including background clicks during path changes no longer triggering unintended actions, fixed ghost L3 links appearing across MPLS hops from L2 link interactions, and resolved crashes, alert click handling, VXLAN link selection, and node visibility while dragging. Fixed several Map Topology issues including device dragging from dashboard, link visibility during dragging, interface scrolling behavior, bulk-position discard during page navigation, and device color refresh after disable actions. Improved Link Down and Device UP and Down operations in the 2D topology with more accurate state transitions and rendering. Fixed MSP site World Map topology CSV export, which previously returned no data found; export now correctly returns site-wise data.

• SSH and Query Handling Fixed SSH window query parameter handling where the hash character was being removed from password values.

• Forms and User Experience Prevented PDF downloads from triggering without input text. Resolved typing cursor reset issue during rapid typing in form fields. Resolved Error 525 during user name updates, restoring the ability to edit user profiles cleanly. Fixed a Cypress-related issue affecting device and interface peering point traffic when adding new devices or interfaces via the API.

=== IMPROVEMENTS ===

• Topology and Monitoring Clicking a topology edge now opens a contextual latency graph for the selected link in Subscriber Agent. Enhanced NIE Monitoring to capture all required details for downstream analytics and visualization. Demo devices are now automatically restored after 10 minutes, ensuring consistent demo and trial experiences.

• Security and Access Management Added a global setting to configure password expiry duration, enforced automatic logout after password changes, added whitespace validation for admin credentials, and synced user information and timezone state globally for consistency.

• Configuration and User Profile Users can now set a default timezone under their profile, ensuring consistent timestamps across dashboards and alerts. The currently selected timezone date is now displayed in the footer timezone section. Improved Config Scrapper resilience: when no vendor is specified, the scrapper now falls back to trying all supported vendors automatically.

• UI and Terminology Renamed the Celery Tasks section to Agent for clearer terminology. Removed authorization guard from alert cards to streamline navigation while preserving alarm-page authorization checks.

• Platform and Workflow Enhancements Added delete-key support in NetAI Studio aligned with the existing production access flow. Improved overall operational consistency and workflow usability across modules.

=== INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE ===

Added a daily Celery task to automatically clean up old records from dashboards and logs, reducing storage bloat and improving query performance. Built and packaged all new binaries for this release cycle.
