# April 2026 - Network Monitoring System (NMS)

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Network Monitoring System (NMS) during April 2026.

## Features

- **SNMP unification generally available**: Unified SNMP device monitoring templates and flow enrichment are now available to all customers, with the feature flag removed.
- **SNMP polling health on Device Details**: The Device Details telemetry tab now shows eight SNMP polling KPIs (agent status, OIDs/sec, polling health score, successful fetch %, retries, and timing) with time-range selection and auto-refresh.
- **Richer BGP neighbors table**: The BGP neighbors table now shows remote device/interface and local interface as clickable links with graceful fallback.
- **More accurate query building**: The NMS query builder now uses QueryColumn references for metrics and dimensions, improving sorting, filtering, and aggregation accuracy.
- **Updated device metadata**: Added new device models and corrected enterprise mappings for device discovery.

## Bug Fixes

- **Kentik Map fixes**: Resolved a "getMaxDateRangeForQuery is not a function" error, restored the map right-click "View Device Details" menu, and fixed logical map topology errors.
- **Disable BGP via API**: Setting BGP type to 'none' now clears the associated BGP device ID so the API request passes validation.
- **Accurate SNMP cost calculation**: Corrected cost undercounting for kentik_agent SNMP collection by using the actual 60-second polling interval, with a tool to recalculate six months of historical costs.
- **Enforced device plan limits**: Adding devices beyond a plan limit now correctly returns the expected error.
- **Topology accuracy**: Removed spurious topology links from identical IPs and stale interface references for cleaner maps.
- **Correct interface health**: Fixed a unit-conversion error that inflated interface utilization substantially, eliminating false health alerts.
- **API version fallback**: ktranslate now falls back to an older site API version when the newer one is unavailable, keeping device enrichment working.
- **Editable NMS query widgets**: Query widget settings (legend, tooltips, sparklines, layout, etc.) are now exposed for editing and persist correctly.
- **Chord chart hover**: Kentik Map chord chart link hover now uses color swaps for clearer, faster visual feedback.
