# January 2026 - Network Monitoring System (NMS)

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

## Features

- **SNMP unification in open early access**: Unified SNMP device monitoring templates and flow enrichment are available to interested customers by feature flag.
- **Command Access in open early access**: Command Access is available to interested customers by feature flag.
- **NMS Alerting now supports Interface Classification**: You can now use Interface Classification rules as criteria when setting up NMS alert policies.
- **Consistent time range formatting**: Time dropdown options in Metrics Explorer and Data Explorer now use consistent formatting (e.g., "Last day + 4 hours").
- **Faster device details loading**: Device Details pages now load faster by fetching telemetry, components, IS-IS adjacencies, and BGP neighbor data on demand as you navigate.
- **SNMP interface metrics source control**: Customers with the UA SNMP Polling for Flow Enrichment flag can now choose whether SNMP interface data is collected by NMS or flow, set automatically without support intervention.
- **Cumulus Linux SSH support**: Cumulus Linux (NVUE) is now a supported platform option for device SSH configuration.
- **Phoenixtec UPS monitoring**: The APC SNMP profile now supports Phoenixtec UPS devices.
- **Improved SNMP trap handling**: Enhanced SNMP trap parsing and processing.

## Bug Fixes

- **Favorites tab links**: Fixed broken navigation when opening NMS saved views from the Library Favorites tab.
- **Sidebar filter loading state**: The device filter sidebar now shows accurate loading feedback before displaying final counts.
- **Device table labels**: Fixed potential UI errors when viewing devices with incomplete label data.
- **Faster temperature queries**: Reduced device temperature query lookback to 4 hours for faster response.
- **Negative metric formatting**: Metrics Explorer now correctly displays negative values (e.g., negative dBm input power).
- **Interface details performance**: Optimized the interface details drawer load on device inventory pages.
- **Device deletion with connections**: Devices with auto-discovered connections can now be deleted; only manual connections block deletion.
- **Device archival cleanup**: Archived devices are now automatically removed from referencing dashboard items to prevent broken references.
- **Interface count display**: Fixed Device Details interface counts when the interfaces array is empty.
- **APC UPS profile syntax**: Fixed a YAML syntax error that prevented the APC UPS profile from loading.
