VIPERInfrastructure
From the site to the port. And everything it depends on.
Keep location, equipment, connectivity and power together — from a national operational picture down to a single transceiver — with where each fact comes from, how current it is, and where a mapping is missing.

Synthetic presentation data
Building, rack and component
Open at the object.
Walk the chain when you need it.
The view opens at the component itself. The level explorer walks the same identity chain — site, building, room, row, rack, device, module, port and transceiver — and the rack turns from front to rear without renumbering a single label.

Highlighting marks where evidence points. It is not a finding that this component is defective.
Front and rear, same identities
Ports and bays on the front; supplies, management and zero-U PDUs on the rear. Printed labels are never mirrored.
Modules, ports, transceivers
Every port, module, supply and outlet is selectable, with its role, its connection and the latest observations.
Only what is recorded
Plans show recorded locations. Where a position or a cable has no record, the view says so.
Patch path and cable tracing
From the interface
to the far end.
Interface, transceiver, patch cable, panel ports, trunk channel and far end — each hop with its endpoints, its source and how it is known. Surveyed hops are drawn solid, documented-only hops dashed, and a segment nobody has mapped stays a gap.

Select any hop for its endpoints, source and freshness. The primary stops at an unresolved segment into PP-02; the secondary carries a patch lead with no cable record.

TraceRecorded to TRUNK-07 ch04. The segment into PP-02 is unresolved: LLDP names the far end, no record maps the route to it. Errors are observed at Eth1/24 only — no component on this path is established as the cause.
An unresolved segment, shown as one
The primary uplink is recorded to TRUNK-07 channel 04. No record maps its rear position at PP-02: LLDP identifies the far end, not the route. The trace stops at what is known and marks the rest.
Documented or surveyed
A record says where a cable should run; a survey confirms where it does. Each hop states which, with a date — and the secondary's unlabelled patch lead is marked as having no cable record.
A highlight is not a verdict
Errors are measured at Eth1/24. Marking the hops beyond it says nothing about which component failed — that is for the investigation to establish, with the evidence it names.
Power dependencies
Two power paths.
One shared dependency.
Feed, UPS, PDU, outlet, cord and supply — followed past the rack where they are documented. See where separate paths converge and which services depend on them.
Select a supply or outlet on the rack, or any node in the chain. Switch to the modeled outage to see what would be exposed — it is labelled as modeled throughout.

Relation to INC-024Not the cause of INC-024. Both supplies and UPS-01 reported normal throughout the incident window.
Separate to the panel
Supply A and supply B run through their own cords, outlets, PDUs and breakers.
Shared at the UPS
Both paths converge on UPS-01 and its feed — a dependency the rack alone does not show.
Observed, then modeled
What the devices report stays apart from what a modeled outage would expose. The chain also states it is not the cause of the network incident.
Provenance and freshness
Where every fact comes from.
And what is missing.
Each hop and power element names its record or collector, how it is known and how current it is. Mappings that do not exist are listed with what they prevent and who can close them — never drawn in to make a path look complete.
