And especially since this is only really useful for ports the observium server itself can see, it's of very limited usefulness.

Usage scenario would be something like: - "slow internet" complains - one edge port has high utilization. - MACs on the port are show - If also PC IP/name is shown (hopefully with descriptive name), you can immediately see who is the problematic user.

I'm not sure how useful it is to get information about the hosts that the Observium server itself can see at layer 2.

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?
