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.

Collection feeds parsing, parsing feeds inventory and persistence, and the operator-facing services sit on top of that explicit flow.

Components

The building blocks.

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.
