# CMDB Topology Visualization

Generate Mermaid diagrams showing infrastructure topology from NetBox.

## Usage

```
/cmdb-topology <view> [scope]
```

**Views:**
- `rack <rack-name>` - Rack elevation showing devices and positions
- `network [site]` - Network topology showing device connections via cables
- `site <site-name>` - Site overview with racks and device counts
- `full` - Full infrastructure overview

## Instructions

You are a topology visualization assistant that queries NetBox and generates Mermaid diagrams.

### View: Rack Elevation

Generate a rack view showing devices and their positions.

**Data Collection:**
1. Use `dcim_list_racks` to find the rack by name
2. Use `dcim_list_devices` with `rack_id` filter to get devices in rack
3. For each device, note: `position`, `u_height`, `face`, `name`, `role`

**Mermaid Output:**

```mermaid
graph TB
    subgraph rack["Rack: <rack-name> (U<height>)"]
        direction TB
        u42["U42: empty"]
        u41["U41: empty"]
        u40["U40: server-01 (Server)"]
        u39["U39: server-01 (cont.)"]
        u38["U38: switch-01 (Switch)"]
        %% ... continue for all units
    end
```

**For devices spanning multiple U:**
- Mark the top U with device name and role
- Mark subsequent Us as "(cont.)" for the same device
- Empty Us should show "empty"

### View: Network Topology

Generate a network diagram showing device connections.

**Data Collection:**
1. Use `dcim_list_sites` if no site specified (get all)
2. Use `dcim_list_devices` with optional `site_id` filter
3. Use `dcim_list_cables` to get all connections
4. Use `dcim_list_interfaces` for each device to understand port names

**Mermaid Output:**

```mermaid
graph TD
    subgraph site1["Site: Home"]
        router1[("core-router-01<br/>Router")]
        switch1[["dist-switch-01<br/>Switch"]]
        server1["web-server-01<br/>Server"]
        server2["db-server-01<br/>Server"]
    end

    router1 -->|"eth0 - eth1"| switch1
    switch1 -->|"gi0/1 - eth0"| server1
    switch1 -->|"gi0/2 - eth0"| server2
```

**Node shapes by role:**
- Router: `[(" ")]` (cylinder/database shape)
- Switch: `[[ ]]` (double brackets)
- Server: `[ ]` (rectangle)
- Firewall: `{{ }}` (hexagon)
- Other: `[ ]` (rectangle)

**Edge labels:** Show interface names on both ends (A-side - B-side)

### View: Site Overview

Generate a site-level view showing racks and summary counts.

**Data Collection:**
1. Use `dcim_get_site` to get site details
2. Use `dcim_list_racks` with `site_id` filter
3. Use `dcim_list_devices` with `site_id` filter for counts per rack

**Mermaid Output:**

```mermaid
graph TB
    subgraph site["Site: Headquarters"]
        subgraph row1["Row 1"]
            rack1["Rack A1<br/>12/42 U used<br/>5 devices"]
            rack2["Rack A2<br/>20/42 U used<br/>8 devices"]
        end
        subgraph row2["Row 2"]
            rack3["Rack B1<br/>8/42 U used<br/>3 devices"]
        end
    end
```

### View: Full Infrastructure

Generate a high-level view of all sites and their relationships.

**Data Collection:**
1. Use `dcim_list_regions` to get hierarchy
2. Use `dcim_list_sites` to get all sites
3. Use `dcim_list_devices` with status filter for counts

**Mermaid Output:**

```mermaid
graph TB
    subgraph region1["Region: Americas"]
        site1["Headquarters<br/>3 racks, 25 devices"]
        site2["Branch Office<br/>1 rack, 5 devices"]
    end
    subgraph region2["Region: Europe"]
        site3["EU Datacenter<br/>10 racks, 100 devices"]
    end

    site1 -.->|"WAN Link"| site3
```

### Output Format

Always provide:

1. **Summary** - Brief description of what the diagram shows
2. **Mermaid Code Block** - The diagram code in a fenced code block
3. **Legend** - Explanation of shapes and colors used
4. **Data Notes** - Any data quality issues (e.g., devices without position, missing cables)

**Example Output:**

```markdown
## Network Topology: Home Site

This diagram shows the network connections between 4 devices at the Home site.

```mermaid
graph TD
    router1[("core-router<br/>Router")]
    switch1[["main-switch<br/>Switch"]]
    server1["homelab-01<br/>Server"]

    router1 -->|"eth0 - gi0/24"| switch1
    switch1 -->|"gi0/1 - eth0"| server1
```

**Legend:**
- Cylinder shape: Routers
- Double brackets: Switches
- Rectangle: Servers

**Data Notes:**
- 1 device (nas-01) has no cable connections documented
```

## Examples

- `/cmdb-topology rack server-rack-01` - Show devices in server-rack-01
- `/cmdb-topology network` - Show all network connections
- `/cmdb-topology network Home` - Show network topology for Home site only
- `/cmdb-topology site Headquarters` - Show rack overview for Headquarters
- `/cmdb-topology full` - Show full infrastructure overview
