jaredandClaude Opus 5.5	20822d000e	Topology: show what needs a look, quiet everything else ... - A bar above the diagram lists what needs attention: devices down, degraded or alerting, cables down or last seen elsewhere, mislabelled ports, cables with errors. Click one to zoom to it; a missing device is one entry, with where it was last seen. All clear says so. - Problem cables glow and are always drawn, whatever the filters; problem cards get a red or amber border. Healthy cables are drawn quietly. - Each server's slower second cable (its 1G management link) is hidden by default while healthy: "Server 1G links" shows them. That was most of the clutter. "10G only" is gone, since this covers it. - Power gear is off by default until the power map (part 2) gives the rail something to show.

jaredandClaude Opus 5.5	7dba1750ee	Topology: a readable card per device ... Drawn to true scale, the 4U servers dwarfed the switches and no label could be read without zooming. Every device is now a card of the same height: its name and state on top, and below that its real faceplate (cropped to the ports) or, for a server, its front and a socket per NIC. Cables meet the card edge right at the port, with a short tail to it. The internet, modem and gateway sit side by side along the top, and unknown devices share the row of the gear on their switch, so the whole network fits a normal screen. On a phone the canvas takes the diagram's shape instead of leaving most of it empty. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-11-14 19:58:29 -05:00
jaredandClaude Opus 5.5	abe88df3a4	Topology: route cables through trays, group unknown devices ... The curved cables piled on top of each other. Cables now run like cable management: straight down from the port into the tray above the row they go to, along a lane of their own (10G on the upper lanes), then straight down into the socket. Nothing overlaps and crossings are square. Devices sit clear of cables passing down through their row, under their fastest cable. Each switch's unknown devices are one block with a bundled cable; click it to open them, or show them one by one or hide them from the toolbar.

jaredandClaude Opus 5.5	aa7341af06	Topology: a live page drawn from the real gear ... The dashboard's hand-drawn diagram was out of date. /topology replaces it with the network as the switches report it, every device drawn to scale from its faceplate or cutsheet front, and one cable per physical link leaving the port it is plugged into. - topology.py builds the graph: switch-to-switch cables seen from both ends are merged, servers get one cable per NIC, the gateway's internet port goes to the modem and on to the internet, unknown neighbours are stubs, and gear with no live cable is drawn where it was last seen. - Ports named after a different device than the one plugged in are flagged. - Cables show medium, speed, state and traffic; click one for its details, hover a device to trace its path to the internet; pan, zoom and filters. - The monitor now keeps host_macs (MAC to host NIC) in link_stats. - The old dashboard diagram and its JS and CSS are removed.
