adding IPv6-only hosts fails
Hi all,
I'm trying to add a cute little device which only has static IPv6 address. But it fails for some reason which might have something to do with that legacy IPv4 protocol.

This is because of a php call which doens't play nice with IPv6, IIRC.
I forget which one exactly, gethostbyname()?

gethostbyname indeed does not support IPv6. Maybe a change to the code ensures that observium first tries gethostbyname and if that fails tries something along the lines of:
job@miriel:~$ php <? print_r(dns_get_record("pi2.meerval.net", DNS_AAAA)); ?> Array ( [0] => Array ( [host] => pi2.meerval.net [type] => AAAA [ipv6] => 2001:67c:208c:10:821f:2ff:fe4b:3932 [class] => IN [ttl] => 5 )
) job@miriel:~$
Kind regards,

When will you actually be coming to drink beer in Amsterdam?
Are you offering free aklompendation?
Yes, if I'm in the country and nothing weird comes up you can crash at my place. No problem, no english breakfast. :-)
When are we dating?
Kind regards,
