Core Features

  1. Equipment Management:

    • Add, edit, and delete network equipment (switches, firewalls, servers, access points).
    • View a list of all equipment with details (name, IP, location, status, etc.).
    • Search and filter equipment by type, location, or status.

  2. Status Monitoring:

    • Implement a ping feature to check if devices are online.
    • Display real-time status (e.g., "Online", "Offline", "Degraded").
    • Add a refresh button to update statuses.

  3. Logging:

    • Log all actions (add, edit, delete, status changes).
    • View logs in a separate tab or window.
    • Filter logs by date, action type, or equipment.

  4. Data Persistence:

    • Save equipment data to a JSON file (or a database like SQLite for scalability).
    • Load data on application startup.

  5. User Interface Enhancements:

    • Add a dashboard with summary statistics (e.g., total devices, online/offline counts).
    • Use a table or treeview to display equipment in a structured way.
    • Add tooltips and help messages for better usability.

Advanced Features

  1. Network Discovery:

    • Automatically discover devices on the network using tools like nmap or scapy.
    • Add discovered devices to the system with a single click.

  2. Alerts and Notifications:

    • Send email or desktop notifications when a device goes offline or comes back online.
    • Set thresholds for alerts (e.g., high CPU usage on a server).

  3. Backup and Restore:

    • Allow exporting equipment data to a file (e.g., CSV, JSON).
    • Import data from a file to restore the system.

  4. Role-Based Access Control:

    • Add user authentication (e.g., login screen).
    • Implement roles (e.g., Admin, Viewer) with different permissions.

  5. Reporting:

    • Generate reports (e.g., list of offline devices, equipment by location).
    • Export reports to PDF or Excel.

Technical Enhancements

  1. Database Integration:

    • Replace JSON file storage with a database (e.g., SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
    • Use an ORM like SQLAlchemy for easier database management.

  2. API Integration:

    • Integrate with APIs from network equipment vendors (e.g., Cisco, Juniper) to fetch real-time data.
    • Use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor devices.

  3. Multi-Threading:

    • Use multi-threading for tasks like pinging devices to avoid freezing the UI.

  4. Customizable UI:

    • Allow users to customize the UI (e.g., change themes, rearrange columns).

  5. Error Handling:

    • Add robust error handling for invalid inputs, network issues, etc.
    • Display user-friendly error messages.

Optional Features

  1. Network Mapping:

    • Create a visual map of the network topology (e.g., using Graphviz or a custom canvas).

  2. Scheduled Tasks:

    • Schedule periodic tasks (e.g., ping devices every 5 minutes, generate daily reports).

  3. Integration with Monitoring Tools:

    • Integrate with tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or PRTG for advanced monitoring.

  4. Mobile-Friendly:

    • Create a web-based version of the system using Flask/Django for mobile access.

  5. Documentation:

    • Add a help section or user manual within the application.

Implementation Order

  1. Start with Core Features (1-5) to get a functional system.
  2. Add Advanced Features (6-10) to enhance functionality.
  3. Implement Technical Enhancements (11-15) for scalability and performance.
  4. Add Optional Features (16-20) for polish and advanced use cases.
