Roadmap

The Grid is in Early Access and shipping fast. Here's what's live, what we're building now, and what's planned. See the changelog for what's shipped, or weigh in on the community.

Recently shipped

Highlights from the last stretch; full details in the changelog.

  • Cases as the alert surfaceRelated events group into one actionable case, with timelines, priority rules, and a permanent event record underneath.
  • Built-in telemetry detectionsReady-made, vendor-neutral detections: CPU, memory, temperature, UPS, interface errors, latency, unexpected reboots. Off by default; enable what you want.
  • Config backup & diffScheduled device config backups with version history and side-by-side diffs.
  • Automatic device identityMake, model, software version, and DNS name detected automatically and kept current by a daily system scan.
  • API-based monitoringCloud-managed gear (starting with Cisco Meraki) monitored through the vendor's API, alongside SNMP and SSH.
  • API tokens & published API docsPersonal access tokens plus an OpenAPI reference so you can automate against GridNMS.
  • Collector load-balancing with standbySpread devices across a site's collectors, with an optional dedicated backup that takes over only on failure.
  • Backup & restoreExport your whole configuration as one encrypted file; import with a field-by-field preview.

Now Building

In active development.

  • Smarter built-in detectionsA vendor-neutral telemetry vocabulary powering a growing library of out-of-the-box detections. Write a rule once; it works on every vendor.
  • Deeper vendor coverageMore monitoring packs across firewalls, switches, routers, and wireless, each verified against published vendor specifications.
  • Scheduled & emailed reportsAvailability, SLA, and uptime reports on a schedule: the monthly report your manager asks for.
  • Bulk device import (CSV)Import your existing inventory in one step and run bulk actions. The migration path off your current tool.

Next Planned

Committed and scoped; coming after the items now in flight.

  • NetFlow / sFlow top talkersFlow-based traffic analytics. See who and what is driving bandwidth on a link.
  • More API integrationsMeraki is live; Mist and VMware vSphere are next for agentless, cloud-managed fleets.
  • Guided noise & cost tuningRecommendations that quiet alert noise and trim data/retention cost automatically.
  • Mobile experienceCheck the Grid from your phone.
  • Local log processingKeep log processing on-site for data governance and egress control.

Later Exploring

On the horizon. Directionally committed, not yet scheduled.

  • Anomaly detectionTopology-aware baselines that flag unusual behavior instead of just fixed thresholds, and understand what depends on what.
  • Cloud visibilityMonitor AWS, Azure, and GCP resources alongside your physical and container estate.
  • Container & Kubernetes monitoringFirst-class visibility into container platforms.
  • Natural-language topology queriesAsk questions about your network in plain English and get answers from the graph.
  • Extended data sourcesWindows (WMI) polling, generic HTTP/REST polling, and Prometheus-style scraping.
