Probler / Layer 8 Product

Infrastructure discovery, modeling, and operations in one system.

Probler is the Layer 8 infrastructure platform for polling, parsing, modeling, caching, and operating complex environments across network, Kubernetes, power, and facility domains.

Built for teams that need topology, inventory, health, automation, and operational visibility without stitching together a dozen weakly aligned tools.

Architecture

Layered services, explicit responsibilities, clear data flow.

Probler is built as a set of focused services on top of Layer 8. Discovery, parsing, persistence, topology, and operator functions are separate by design and connected through explicit runtime behavior.

Microservices Architecture

Collection feeds parsing, parsing feeds inventory and persistence, and the operator-facing services sit on top of that explicit flow. The component section above is the detailed catalog.

Components

The building blocks.

Probler is composed as focused services and operator modules. Each component has a single responsibility, and together they form the full operational surface.

Platform Runtime

l8services

Model-Agnostic Services

Services that adapt to any data structure without requiring code changes, making the platform resilient to changing infrastructure models.

Docs GitHub

l8bus

Virtual Networking

Service-to-service communication through a virtual network overlay with routing, health signaling, and built-in discovery.

Docs GitHub

l8orm

ORM

Object-relational mapping and persistence services used to move modeled infrastructure state into durable storage.

Docs GitHub

l8web

Web Services

Web-facing services and operator surfaces that expose the platform through Layer 8 runtime semantics.

Docs GitHub

l8reflect

Agnostic via Reflection

Dynamic type introspection and model adaptation via reflection so service behavior can stay generic while data models evolve.

Docs GitHub

l8security

Security

Authentication, authorization, and role-aware access controls enforced close to the runtime instead of bolted onto feature code.

Data Pipeline

l8collector

Collector

Network device polling and multi-protocol data collection with horizontal scaling across large infrastructure footprints.
