Understanding the blast radius through comprehensive data
Tip
Nautobot’s power management doesn’t just end at tracking and managing devices’ power sources. It plays a pivotal role in risk assessment and understanding the potential impact of power-related issues.
Imagine a scenario where there’s a failure at a specific power panel. Without a comprehensive understanding of how power flows through the infrastructure, diagnosing the breadth and depth of such a failure could be daunting. However, Nautobot’s structured approach to power management provides the following:
- Traceability: From a single power panel, administrators can trace which devices are impacted due to their association with specific power feeds. This immediate insight can drastically reduce downtime by focusing on troubleshooting efforts.
- Risk mitigation: By knowing the connections, one can simulate “what if” scenarios. For example, “What if power...
