Are you saying the blue cable trace button is missing? If so, have you collected static? If not, please provide more concrete steps to reproduce.

Hello Dan,
Indeed i was not seeing that feature, but i realize now that this is seen only in the interface list of a specific device that is connected.
Somehow i was expecting to see that option on the Devices Menu ( Under connections, or under interface connections)

But i understand now that it is shown directly within the context of a interface view within a specific device.

I would say that it could be interesting to place this icon in more places. Namely on:

At the moment it seems that is only shown here:
https://netbox/dcim/interfaces//
