RELATIONSHIPS

oui

Returns the oui table entry matching this Node. You can then join on this relation and retrieve the Company name from the related table.

The JOIN is of type LEFT, in case the OUI table has not been populated.

nodes

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_nbt tables include independent active fields.

See also the node_sightings helper routine, below.

nodeips

Returns the set of node_ip entries associated with this NetBIOS entry. That is, the IP addresses which the same MAC address at the time of discovery.

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

time_first_stamp

Formatted version of the time_first field, accurate to the minute.

The format is somewhat like ISO 8601 or RFC3339 but without the middle T between the date stamp and time stamp. That is:

 2012-02-06 12:49

time_last_stamp

Formatted version of the time_last field, accurate to the minute.

The format is somewhat like ISO 8601 or RFC3339 but without the middle T between the date stamp and time stamp. That is:

 2012-02-06 12:49

net_mac

Returns the mac column instantiated into a NetAddr::MAC object.
