As a data point, I often use SDig (switch digger), which is a mix of scripts from early 2000's to query ARP and similar tables over SNMP, allowing to find a path to that offending IP or MAC address that you find in logs, emailed complaints, etc. so you can pinpoint it to switch-port and so hardware/location (nowadays, often to the host of a VM). Or to find "where does that VM/zone/... run from, so I can login to the host and manage it?" It may be a mediocre solution to absence of 100% coverage with asset management, but in e.g. BYOD or end-user populace networks, you can't have that anyway. So I'd say the tool is a useful one, when accompanied by some others in a toolkit. It does not quite fit the OP requested profile with history for postmortems etc... though thinking of it, you can just crontab a job to directly request and save SNMP tables from switches into e.g. git ;) Jim -- Typos courtesy of K-9 Mail on my Redmi Android _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
