Anyone know why the swagger scheme lists “CANCEL” as the only enum for “status” on the endpoint?  I’m looking for all valid values and I know at minimum there are “DONE” and “FAILED” but the schema for some reason only lists CANCEL (and that seems to be true for all deployment types in the schema).  

Is there an ETA for integrating Micetro DNS services and Cloudflare? Thanks,Mark 

Hi, I’am currently testing Openstack as a VMware alternative in my company. Under VMware, we currently use the Bluecat API to automatically reserve IP addresses and set DNS names. Is there a Openstack Adaptive Plugin / Neutron Driver from Bluecat with the same features?The article about the Adaptive Plugin only refers to “Openstack Train”, which is quite old and end-of-life since 2024:https://bluecatnetworks.com/integrations/openstack/I also found a GitHub page, but it hasn't been updated since 2018:https://github.com/bluecatlabs/bluecat-openstack-driversCan one of these still be used for a current Openstack version (2025.2 or newer), or does Bluecat offer another solution for automating IPAM in OpenStack?regardsMichael

I’m curious if anyone can speak to what the limiting factors are on BAM’s ability to process notifications?  We’ve experienced some occurrences where it looks like the notification processing has hit a SQL block for a period of time, causing PNA file backlogs on the BAM.  Once the block clears, it takes BAM a certain amount of time to catch back up.  Observing the appliance while it does so, it seems a single postmaster process CPU-bound against a single thread - so depending on the size of the backlog it can take quite a bit of time to catch up, even though the BAM overall is 98% idle.This notification processing is really the only performance-related concern I currently have for our BAMs - and it would be awesome if  notification processing could be improved in such a way as to better consume the available hardware resources.

Layer 8 Lounge Recap: The Hidden Gaps in Network Visibility  If you’ve ever looked at your IPAM, your cloud console, and your monitoring tools and thought, “These cannot all be right,” this Layer 8 Lounge was very much your crowd. For our final session of the year, we brought the community together to talk about network visibility: the messy, day-to-day work of trying to actually know what’s on the network across firewalled data centers, multi-cloud, and sprawling virtual estates.  How visible is your network, really? We kicked things off with two simple questions:  When was the last time your network surprised you?  On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate your visibility?   Answers landed all over the spectrum:  A few teams rated themselves 7–8/10, usually because they’ve invested in automation – scripts that scrape router configs, pull data from cloud, and sync into IPAM on a regular schedule.  Others were closer to 4–5/10, especially where cloud visibility is still maturing or netw
