I just not sure what the size of the target audience for all this host discovery stuff is, yours and the new component of OPNsense. If I want to know what's going on on my network, I ask it directly via SNMP or an all-in-one solution like Unifi or Omada. Only small, unmanaged networks don't already provide that functionality. How many are there using OPNsense?
Quote from: SteffenDE on April 23, 2026, 07:49:14 AMGood day, I just converted my home network from ISC to DNSmasq and it will take a while before I get to it and modify the plugin. but don't worry, it will happen :).Quote from: hacesoft on April 21, 2026, 06:38:33 PMHi Steffen,
The hostname field works as follows: the plugin pulls the hostname from Services → ISC DHCPv4 / DHCPv6 → DHCP Static Mappings — specifically the Hostname field for each entry. If a device doesn't have a static mapping with a hostname defined there, the field will simply remain empty, as the plugin has no other automatic source for this information.
You can also fill in the hostname manually directly in the plugin, but note that this is stored only in the plugin's own database — it does not propagate back to OPNsense DHCP or any other system.
So the short answer: populate the Hostname field in your DHCP static mappings and it will appear automatically.
I have hostnames defined at Dnsmasq because I think ISC is deprecated. So it would be nice to support Dnsmasq too.
Quote from: pc44 on April 23, 2026, 09:42:44 PMGood day, exactly as you asked. If you use sh install.sh, everything except the database will be deleted before installation. After installation, the plugin will be started again. If you use sh uninstall.sh, everything will be removed.Quote from: pc44 on April 23, 2026, 04:26:58 AMI have an older version of Device Monitor installed and working. It is great !!!
I am happy with it, but is there a way to update to this new version, or do I need to fully uninstall/reinstall?
Thank you.
Figured it out. Deleted the existing /tmp/opnsense-devicemonitor folder. Then downloaded, unzipped, and copied over the new files. Then just re-ran sh install.sh.
Now up-to-date. ☑️

Quote from: nero355 on April 24, 2026, 03:39:20 PMWould it be an option to have a dedicated PXE Boot VLAN on your network ?That would be an excellent option for actual thin clients, as this kind of boot is quite insecure and should ideally be confined even on the LAN.
In the past I have worked for a company that had this and the software doing the PXE Boot stuff was some kind of dedicated Linux distro at the time.
So in this case OPNsense would be just the Router providing internet access for all those NetBoot images :)
Quote from: mooh on April 23, 2026, 01:41:32 PMThis is where I don't understand what you're looking for.I'm not looking for anything any more - my stuff is all working. I'm continuing the discussion trying to answer questions and maybe explain my setup in case it helps anyone else in the future, and happy to keep doing that if it is useful.
