New Features:
- API endpoints now support comprehensive input validation with detailed error responses via Pydantic models.
- OpenAPI specification endpoint (/openapi.json) and interactive Swagger UI documentation (/docs) now available for API discovery.
- Enhanced MCP session lifecycle management with create, retrieve, and delete operations.
- Network diagnostic tools: traceroute, nslookup, NMAP scanning, and network topology viewing exposed via API.
- Device search, filtering by status (including 'offline'), and bulk operations (copy, delete, update).
- Wake-on-LAN functionality for remote device management.
- Added dynamic tool disablement and status reporting.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed get_tools_status in registry to correctly return boolean values instead of None for enabled tools.
- Improved error handling for invalid API inputs with standardized validation responses.
- Fixed OPTIONS request handling for cross-origin requests.
Refactoring:
- Significant refactoring of api_server_start.py to use decorator-based validation (@validate_request).
This script generates a synthetic CSV inventory of NetAlertX devices, including routers, switches, APs, and leaf nodes with random but reproducible attributes.
./generate_device_inventory.py --help main
usage: generate_device_inventory.py [-h] [--output OUTPUT] [--seed SEED] [--devices DEVICES] [--switches SWITCHES] [--aps APS] [--site SITE] [--ssid SSID] [--owner OWNER] [--network NETWORK] [--template TEMPLATE]
Generate a synthetic device CSV for NetAlertX
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT
Output CSV path
--seed SEED Seed for reproducible output
--devices DEVICES Number of leaf nodes to generate
--switches SWITCHES Number of switches under the router
--aps APS Number of APs under switches
--site SITE Site name
--ssid SSID SSID placeholder
--owner OWNER Owner name for devices
--network NETWORK IPv4 network to draw addresses from (must have enough hosts for requested devices)
--template TEMPLATE Optional CSV to pull header from; defaults to the sample inventory layout
Uses the new run_docker_tests.sh script which is self-contained and handles all dependencies and test execution within a Docker container. This ensures that the CI environment is consistent with the local devcontainer environment.
Fixes an issue where the job name 'test' was considered invalid. Renamed to 'docker-tests'.
Ensures that tests marked as 'feature_complete' are also excluded from the test run.
Introduces a comprehensive script to build, run, and test NetAlertX within a Dockerized devcontainer environment, replicating the setup defined in . This script ensures consistency for CI/CD pipelines and local development.
The script addresses several environmental challenges:
- Properly builds the Docker image.
- Starts the container with necessary capabilities and host-gateway.
- Installs Python test dependencies (, , ) into the virtual environment.
- Executes the script to initialize services.
- Implements a healthcheck loop to wait for services to become fully operational before running tests.
- Configures to use a writable cache directory () to avoid permission issues.
- Includes a workaround to insert a dummy 'internet' device into the database, resolving a flakiness in caused by its reliance on unpredictable database state without altering any project code.
This script ensures a green test suite, making it suitable for automated testing in environments like GitHub Actions.
