Hi Guys,
ist it possible to display the IP-Address of the Devices under like "Device Information" or in the device Overview (http://x.x.x.x/devices/) ?

Hi,
Which IP address would you display?

Highest numbered loopback IP would be a good start...

That's 127.0.0.1 in most of my monitored devices!

Most network operators use a loopback address on their routers and/or switches to provide an always-up interface. The loopback's reachability isn't contingent on a single, specific physical interface or VLAN interface being up in order for the device to be reachable, providing there are redundant physical and/or logical links from the monitored device to the monitoring station. It's freely IP'able outside of 127.x space.

Thanks for this explanation.
But it seems you missed the point ;-)

Hi,
i was thinking of devices with one IP-Address. Or, if there are more IP-Addresses, the one that is used in observium to monitor the device.

I don't think this is useful enough information in a well-configured network to justify cluttering the UI.
If you're using IPs for anything, you're doing it wrong(tm).
