Note that the Active status of the returned IP entries will all be the same as the current NetBIOS entry.

node_sightings( \%cond, \%attrs? )

Returns the set of node entries associated with this IP. That is, all the MAC addresses recorded which have ever hosted this IP Address.

Remember you can pass a filter to this method to find only active or inactive nodes, but do take into account that both the node and node_ip tables include independent active fields.

  • Results are ordered by time last seen.

  • Additional columns time_first_stamp and time_last_stamp provide preformatted timestamps of the time_first and time_last fields.

  • A JOIN is performed on the Device table and the Device DNS column prefetched.

ADDITIONAL COLUMNS
