Doe's anyone use the NetBox topology plugin?

I'm using it and it is awesome. But it doesn't show only interface to interface connections. So my topology looks like a mass, because I have to put intermediary devices like patch panels and optical distributors.

Hey. Which plugin are you using? I found only two - I can not choose which is better. https://github.com/mattieserver/netbox-topology-views https://github.com/iDebugAll/nextbox-ui-plugin

Maybe it is about file permissions. Have you checked it?

I've just tried the NextBox plugin(the second mentioned) and it did not work so easy as the first. But it looks to be as good as the the other, and it is mos sophisticated.
