Suppress arpwatch flip flop emails for Bonjour Sleep Proxy
-
EDIT: This has been fixed in release 0.2.0_2. Do not do the hacks below, just update your arpwatch package!
It is posted in my original post. Look in /usr/local/pkg/arpwatch.inc for the line
if (false !== $message) {And replace it with the below (substitute your own device MAC addresses):
$flipflop='flip flop'; $tv1='c8:69:cd:00:00:00'; $tv2='e0:89:7e:00:00:00'; $tv3='1c:1a:c0:00:00:00'; if ((false !== $message) and ( (false === strpos($message, $flipflop)) or ( (false === strpos($message, $tv1)) and (false === strpos($message, $tv2)) and (false === strpos($message, $tv3)) ))) { -
@dbwiddis Thx !
-
Actually, I realized I had an error and reversed the order of the arguments in the strpos. I've corrected my posts. What I had suppressed all messages, oops :)

@dbwiddis
I was about to say - it does not work :)Thx for correction.
We will see now! -

So far in last 3-4 hours it seem to be holding water :)
Did you tested if it will stay if arpwatch reinstalled it will stay in place or not ? -

I did just test and uninstall / reinstall arpwatch, and it wiped the script hack and the database. But it was easy to put back in.

I installed arpwatch 0.2.0_1 and see 'sometimes' still flip flop emails.
Odd...
Do you see it after upgrade ? -

Do you see it after upgrade ?Since uninstall/reinstall replaced my custom fixes it wouldn't surprise me if an upgrade overwrote any modifications you've made. Just go re-edit the /usr/local/pkg/arpwatch.inc file, and in the arpwatch config hit "save" to copy from there to /usr/local/arpwatch/sendmail_proxy.php. You can use the file viewer to confirm whether the modifications are there.
I have only seen one other "flip flop" email for a different device (my Orbi mesh router, that has a hidden mac/wifi address for its backhaul network).

@viktor_g Fantastic! I had thought about doing something like that but had no clue where to start.
-
So now that @viktor_g showed us the right way to make a permanent fix, I've implemented that change as well as my own tweak to it, and another request to not wipe the database on uninstall/upgrade. I love this community. :)
-
@dbwiddis very cool !
What's ETA for this to be merged ?

Dunno, @viktor_g made a pull request that someone has to review, and I made a pull request to his branch that he has to review (and testing indicates might be broken...) and then even when they are all accepted they need to release 0.2.0_2.
So.... don't hold your breath, but if you're comfortable hacking a bit, you can get a jump on the official release :)

Finally figured out my error.... 0 can be either false or true depending on which logical operator you use.

Thank YOU SO MUCH ! ;)
In office we have a lot of appleTV and w/o this suppressing mail/pushover would be filled in a day…
Good luck in coding!
