Bounty for arpwatch package enhancements

nate.great

Hello everyone,

Very pleaseed with the arpwatch functionality w/emailing. The only down side is it can only monitor one subnet at a time.

I require the ability to monitor every subnet under the scope of pfesnse and email me the same way. It has to be able to be done from the web gui, and easily implemented.

I'm offering $285 USD ready to start immediatly.

Just to clarify, you mean you want to be able to watch multiple interfaces?

Do you mean all interfaces? So virtual interfaces as well?

Thanks,

Basically all the nics that can be assigned from the "interfaces" tab.

The key functionality is to be able to monitor any IP address changes in each one of the network spaces assigned to the nics under interfaces excluding any WAN

Well here it is.

Changes:


Multiple interface selector in the form
Each interface logs its own report and arp.interface.dat
Nested tabs under report generated per each interface
Regex to ignore loopback

Not since march. I am on the brink of financial apocalypse here. Job market is horrible and I am having the worst of luck with interviews. Maybe if I have some spare time I will resubmit this but who knows it may just sit there until its invalid again waiting for a merge.

I'm sorry to hear that man :( I hope your luck turns around quick… Not sure what kind of position your looking for but you have helped out a lot on the forums and coded.

Appreciate the kind words. Looking for desktop infrastructure, support or something even junior in a linux environment. Might end up just doing more piece work or moving to find a job!
