### **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**
|
|
6. **Network Discovery**:
|
|
- Automatically discover devices on the network using tools like `nmap` or `scapy`.
|
|
- Add discovered devices to the system with a single click.
|
|
|
|
7. **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).
|
|
|
|
8. **Backup and Restore**:
|
|
- Allow exporting equipment data to a file (e.g., CSV, JSON).
|
|
- Import data from a file to restore the system.
|
|
|
|
9. **Role-Based Access Control**:
|
|
- Add user authentication (e.g., login screen).
|
|
- Implement roles (e.g., Admin, Viewer) with different permissions.
|
|
|
|
10. **Reporting**:
|
|
- Generate reports (e.g., list of offline devices, equipment by location).
|
|
- Export reports to PDF or Excel.
|
|

|
### **Technical Enhancements**
|
|
11. **Database Integration**:
|
|
- Replace JSON file storage with a database (e.g., SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
|
|
- Use an ORM like SQLAlchemy for easier database management.
|
|
|
|
12. **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.
|
|
|
|
13. **Multi-Threading**:
|
|
- Use multi-threading for tasks like pinging devices to avoid freezing the UI.
|
|
|
|
14. **Customizable UI**:
|
|
- Allow users to customize the UI (e.g., change themes, rearrange columns).
|
|
|
|
15. **Error Handling**:
|
|
- Add robust error handling for invalid inputs, network issues, etc.
|
|
- Display user-friendly error messages.
|

### **Optional Features**
|
|
16. **Network Mapping**:
|
|
- Create a visual map of the network topology (e.g., using Graphviz or a custom canvas).
|
|
|
|
17. **Scheduled Tasks**:
|
|
- Schedule periodic tasks (e.g., ping devices every 5 minutes, generate daily reports).
|
|
|
|
18. **Integration with Monitoring Tools**:
|
|
- Integrate with tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or PRTG for advanced monitoring.
|
|
|
|
19. **Mobile-Friendly**:
|
|
- Create a web-based version of the system using Flask/Django for mobile access.
|
|
|
|
20. **Documentation**:
|
|
- Add a help section or user manual within the application.
