In another thread on Monit How To - https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=5303.msg21546#msg21546

A user (@docb) posted this script that can be used for generating notifications for new DHCP leases:

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/csh
set FILE = "/var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases"
set LeaseCount = `grep -c "binding state active" $FILE`
echo "Active LeaseCount: $LeaseCount"
if ($LeaseCount > 0) then
set LINE = ( `grep -n "binding state active" $FILE | cut -d: -f1` )
foreach L ($LINE)
  echo "##################"
# set EL = `expr $L + 8`
  set CL = `expr $L - 5`
  while ( $CL < `expr $L + 8` )
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f1` == "lease" ) then
    echo IP: `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f2`
   endif
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f3` == "starts" ) then
    echo Start: `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f5,6`
   endif
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f3` == "ends" ) then
    echo Ende: `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f5,6`
   endif
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f3` == "hardware" ) then
    echo MAC: `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f5`
   endif
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f3` == "client-hostname" ) then
    echo Name: `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f4-`
   endif
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f3` == "set" ) then
    echo Device: `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f6-`
   endif
   if ( `sed -n "$CL p" $FILE | cut -d ' ' -f1` == "}" && $CL > $L ) then
    set CL = `expr $CL + 8`
   endif
   @ CL++
  end
end
exit 1

exit 0

I am using OpenVPN on a OPNSense machine and all VPN clients (rare logins) are assigned to a separate subnet.

Is there a way to limit the scope of monitoring to a specified subnet?
Thanks

There is way to use Monit to ping an IP address and generate alerts based off the outcome.
