NETWORK INTEGRATION SIMPLIFIED

Essential Integrations for Your Network Automation Toolchain

NetBrain connects your network automation platform to the tools enterprises already use for ITSM, observability, SIEM, AIOps, CMDB, and monitoring. Using REST APIs, webhooks, and operational data inputs, NetBrain turns alerts and tickets into automated diagnostics, dynamic mapping, and documented outcomes across hybrid-cloud networks.

Why Integrations Matter for Network Automation

Enterprises use dozens of software tools to monitor, manage, and secure their networks, but these tools often operate in silos. NetBrain eliminates the need for managing fragmented solutions. By pairing real-time mapping, automation, and AI-driven insight with the data already flowing through your ecosystem, NetBrain transforms your tools into an intelligent automation engine:

ITSM/Ticketing

Auto-trigger diagnostics and close tickets from integrated workflows.

Monitoring/Alerting

Convert alerts into automated troubleshooting runbooks.

CMDB/Source of Truth

Sync with inventory systems for real-time, accurate network maps.

Cloud/Kubernetes

Extend visibility and governance across hybrid and containerized environments.

Security Platforms

Automate incident response and policy impact analysis from security alerts.

Collaboration Tools

Push network insights and diagnostics into team communication channels.

IPAM/DNS

Automate discovery and validation against authorized IP and DNS records.

ITSM & Incident Response Integrations

ServiceNow

ServiceNow remains the system of record for incidents, changes, and problem workflows. NetBrain extends it by automatically diagnosing issues the moment an incident is created. Incidents, alerts, or change requests can trigger NetBrain to map the affected path, run Golden Assessments, or validate planned work. Close the loop with results written back to ServiceNow for a fully traceable record.

Jira Service Management

Jira drives lightweight ticketing and automation for many enterprise teams. NetBrain integrates through webhooks or API triggers, so a Jira ticket can immediately launch diagnostics, analyze impact, or change management tasks. This gives teams fast, consistent insights without waiting for manual escalation.

Observability and Monitoring Integrations

Splunk

Splunk is often the first place where anomalies appear. With this integration, Splunk alerts instantly trigger NetBrain’s automated diagnostics and mapping. The results, including logs, actions, and outcomes, flow back into Splunk for unified dashboards and audit trails. This closes the loop between alert → action → resolution.

Datadog

Datadog monitors applications, cloud services, and infrastructure performance. NetBrain uses Datadog alerts or monitors as triggers to automatically investigate network paths, verify intent, or perform impact analysis. This creates seamless alignment between app-level observability and network-level automation.

Solarwinds

SolarWinds continues to play a major role in device-level monitoring. NetBrain converts SolarWinds events into repeatable automation workflows; mapping affected paths, checking health, or running diagnostics. This gives teams deeper context behind every SolarWinds alert.

ThousandEyes

ThousandEyes provides deep visibility into user experience, Internet paths, and SaaS performance. NetBrain complements this by automating the diagnostics that sit behind those issues. When ThousandEyes detects degradation, whether from endpoint agents, synthetic tests, or Internet path monitoring, NetBrain automatically maps the affected path, validates intents, and runs TAF workflows to identify the device-level root cause.

IPAM/DNS

Infoblox

Infoblox NIOS is the system of record for DNS, DHCP, and IP address management across enterprise networks. As a certified partner in the Infoblox Ecosystem, NetBrain integrates directly with NIOS via API to pull subnet, IP range, DNS, and DHCP data into automated discovery workflows. Network maps and One-IP views are dynamically enriched with Infoblox attributes eliminating manual reconciliation between IPAM records and live infrastructure. Runbooks and diagnostic workflows can validate DNS, DHCP, and IP allocation state alongside path and configuration analysis, giving teams authoritative DDI context at every step of incident response and change management.

Source of Truth and Inventory

Netbox Labs

NetBox provides structured metadata, device, and data center network inventories, circuits, racks, and prefixes. NetBrain synchronizes this data to maintain accurate topologies, device attributes, and intent profiles. This allows teams to enforce compliance and validate real-world network behavior against the intended state stored in NetBox.

CMDB Platforms

(ServiceNow CMDB, Jira Assets, or custom)

CMDBs store authoritative data about configuration items across the environment. NetBrain receives the metadata, so every automated workflow reflects the correct device state, ownership, and context. This improves compliance, documentation accuracy, and root-cause clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are network automation integrations?

Network automation integrations connect third-party tools like ITSM, monitoring, CMDB, and event intelligence platforms to automated network workflows. They enable triggers such as alerts or tickets to launch diagnostics, mapping, validation, and reporting without manual handoffs.

Why do integrations matter for network automation?

Enterprises run many tools that often operate in silos. Integrations allow teams to reuse existing alerts, tickets, and inventory data as automation triggers, so troubleshooting and change validation become faster, more consistent, and easier to audit.

How does an ITSM integration help with incident response?

An ITSM integration can trigger automated diagnostics as soon as an incident or change request is created. Results such as affected paths, validations, and diagnostic outputs can be written back to the ticket to improve traceability and reduce back-and-forth during escalation.

How does NetBrain integrate with observability and monitoring tools like Splunk or Datadog?

NetBrain can use alerts from observability and monitoring tools as triggers to run automated diagnostics, mapping, or intent checks. The platform can then return outcomes and supporting context to the originating tool to keep dashboards and incident records aligned.

How does a source of truth or CMDB integration improve network visibility?

Source of truth and CMDB integrations provide authoritative metadata such as device attributes, ownership, and inventory structure. Synchronizing this data supports more accurate maps and ensures automation workflows run with the right context for compliance and troubleshooting.

Can NetBrain support custom integrations?

Yes. Teams can build custom integrations using REST APIs and webhooks to trigger workflows, query NetBrain, and exchange data with internal tools or niche platforms. This supports northbound and southbound automation patterns across the network management toolchain.

How does NetBrain differ from traditional monitoring tools and network modeling platforms?

Many monitoring tools focus on generating alerts and reporting device metrics, while network modeling platforms focus on topology analysis and planning. NetBrain focuses on turning signals into action by combining dynamic mapping, intent-based validation, and triggered diagnostics so alerts and tickets can drive automated troubleshooting and documented outcomes. For teams that already use tools such as SolarWinds or Forward Networks, NetBrain is typically deployed to operationalize workflows and accelerate resolution using the data those tools generate.
