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?
