Sorry guys, I didn't meant to
drop the flame bomb, then disappear and get back much later
to see the ruins :))), but I was pretty busy.
As I wrote in my original mail I thought about displaying
the address in the overview page.
And yes I was thinking about strictly displaying the
(hopefully only) one IP address that the stored hostname
gets resolved to.
Exactly as Skyler Blumer resolved it in his small hack.
Actually this small hack could be used to solve the issue.
It could be hardened if you wish, - like you said - checking
that the IP address returned is listed anywhere between some
interfaces of the host, but I would say if the SNMP service
can be reached on a given IP, then let's assume that you can
do something with that device using the same address.
Yes of course, there could be complications, and there are a
few possible issues that can't be properly taken care of,
but an almost perfect solution is way better - if it solves
most of the needs - than nothing.
And as Skyler's solution shows, the solution is pretty
straight forward, I will patch my copy tomorrow. (thanks
again Skyler)
That was my 2 cents.

Hi all!
I ran into this small deficit a few times, but now I decided to report
it, maybe it gets the attention of other fellow users and/or of developers.
So the small thing that I miss sometimes from the GUI is the display of
the IP address of a device.
In my opinion this information should definitely be listed on the
overview page, but optimally it should also appear in the tooltip that
appears when hovering the mouse (let's say after the FQDN in square
brackets).
And given the fact that a device can have many IP addresses, I would say
lets display the one that the devices FQDN resolves to (mostly this is
that I am eager to know).
Yes-yes, I know, DNS solves most of the problems, but sometimes it is
just easier if you know the IP address.
Any opinions?
