NetIntel v1.0.0 — Release Notes

Release status: Final NetIntel v1.0.0 artifacts have been built and verified. Public publication is a separate step; use the release page for downloads and signed verification files once publication is complete.

Overview

NetIntel is a lightweight Edge Operational Intelligence Engine for Linux systems, written in modern C++.

It collects native Linux system telemetry, derives operational features, evaluates system health, identifies diagnostic findings, and generates actionable recommendations and notifications.

NetIntel v1.0.0 establishes the production Community Edition distribution, with Debian and RPM packaging, signed license validation, a REST API, webhook notifications, and configurable runtime logging.

Key Capabilities

1. System Telemetry

NetIntel collects system telemetry from native Linux interfaces, including:

CPU utilization
Memory usage
System uptime
Load average
Thermal measurements
Filesystem capacity and usage
Network traffic activity

Telemetry is normalized into snapshots consumed by subsequent processing stages.

2. Operational Intelligence

NetIntel processes collected telemetry through a layered intelligence pipeline:

Telemetry collection
Feature extraction
Operational health assessment
Diagnostic findings
Recommendation generation

The assessment and recommendation engines use deterministic processing to identify operational conditions and provide guidance to administrators.

3. REST API

NetIntel exposes a REST API for accessing operational information.

The verified API surface includes:

/api/v1/health — application health and version
/api/v1/telemetry — collected system telemetry
/api/v1/features — derived operational features
/api/v1/assessments — operational health assessments
/api/v1/diagnostics — diagnostic findings

The API is intended for local operational access and integration with external management systems.

4. Webhook Notifications

NetIntel can deliver operational notifications to administrator-controlled webhook endpoints.

Notifications use HTTP POST with a JSON payload. The payload includes notification details and available device identity information.

Administrators can configure the destination, enable or disable notifications, and optionally configure Bearer-token authentication.

For production deployments, use an appropriate HTTPS endpoint and authentication controls.

NetIntel does not require a GNSOFTLAB-hosted webhook receiver.

5. Configurable Runtime Logging

NetIntel supports four runtime logging levels:

Level	Purpose
`debug`	Detailed diagnostic output for troubleshooting
`info`	Normal operational messages; the default
`warn`	Warnings and more severe messages
`error`	Error messages only

Configure logging in /etc/netintel/netintel.conf:

[logging]
level=info

For troubleshooting, change the level to debug:

[logging]
level=debug

Restart the service to apply the configuration:

sudo systemctl restart netintel

After troubleshooting, restore level=info and restart the service.

Community Edition Licensing

NetIntel Community Edition requires a valid signed Community license. The application package does not include the license artifact; it is issued separately by the GNSOFTLAB License Portal.

License portal: <https://license.gnsoftlab.com>

After installing the package, run the packaged license installation helper:

sudo /usr/libexec/netintel/install-netintel-license

The helper requests the license, downloads the signed artifact over HTTPS, verifies its checksum, and installs it for the NetIntel service.

Do not copy signing private keys to the NetIntel host.

Supported Scope and Limitations

The v1.0 release targets standard x86_64 Linux systems.
Network traffic activity is collected as telemetry.
Network diagnostics and Wi-Fi diagnostics are outside the v1.0 scope.
Network health assessment and network-health recommendations that depend on richer network telemetry remain deferred.

Distribution

The public binary distribution includes these package formats:

Debian package: netintel_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
RPM package: netintel-1.0.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Download links, SHA-256 checksums, and the detached checksum-manifest signature are provided on the NetIntel v1.0.0 release page. The source archive and Source RPM are retained privately and are not part of the public binary distribution.

Documentation
