Hi
I here and there search for IP address belonging to certain MAC address. Below is a tiny patch to show that info in observium. Data is read from arpwatch datafile (path to datafile is set in config.php): // enable arpwatch $config['arpwatch']['datafile'] = "/var/lib/arpwatch/arp.dat";
And once IP is known, reverse DNS name is informative too. Patch acceptable for inclusion?
