## Overview
A plugin allowing for importing Un-Discoverable devices from the settings page.
The main usecase is to add dumb network gear like unmanaged hubs and switches to the network view.
There might be other usecases, please let me know.
Arp-scan is a command-line tool that uses the ARP protocol to discover and fingerprint IP hosts on the local network. An alternative to ARP scan is to enable the `PIHOLE_RUN` PiHole integration settings. The arp-scan (and other Network-scan plugin times using the `SCAN_SUBNETS` setting) time depends on the number of IP addresses to check so set this up carefully with the appropriate network mask and interface. Check the [subnets documentation](https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert/blob/main/docs/SUBNETS.md) for help on setting up VLANs, what VLANs are supported, or how to figure out the network mask and your interface.
### Usage
- Go to settings and find Un-Discoverabe Devices in the list of plugins.
- Enable the plugin by changing the RUN parameter from disabled to `once` or `always_after_scan`.
- Add the name of your device to the list. (remove the sample entry first)
- Go to settings and set the `SCAN_SUBNETS` setting as per [subnets documentation](https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert/blob/main/docs/SUBNETS.md).
- Enable the plugin by changing the RUN parameter from disabled to your preferred run time (usually: `schedule`).
- Specify the schedule in the `ARPSCAN_RUN_SCHD` setting
- Adjust the timeout if needed in the `ARPSCAN_RUN_TIMEOUT` setting
- Review remaining settings
- SAVE
- wait for the next scan to finish
- Wait for the next scan to finish
#### Examples:
Settings:
![settings](https://github.com/Data-Monkey/Pi.Alert/assets/7224371/52883307-19a5-4602-b13a-9825461f6cc4)
resulting in these devices:
![devices](https://github.com/Data-Monkey/Pi.Alert/assets/7224371/9f7659e7-75a8-4ae9-9f5f-781bdbcbc949)
Allowing Un-Discoverable devices like hubs, switches or APs to be added to the network view.

### Known Limitations
- Un-Discoverable Devices always show as offline. That is expected as they can not be discovered by Pi.Alert.
- All IPs are set to 0.0.0.0 therefore the "Random MAC" icon might show up.

## Overview
A plugin allowing for importing Un-Discoverable devices from the settings page.

A plugin to resolve `(unknown)` device names. It uses the [Pholus](https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert/tree/main/front/plugins/pholus_scan/pholus) sniffing tool.
### Usage
- Go to settings and find Un-Discoverabe Devices in the list of plugins.
- Enable the plugin by changing the RUN parameter from disabled to `once` or `always_after_scan`.
- Add the name of your device to the list. (remove the sample entry first)
- Go to settings and find Pholus-Scan (Name discovery) in the list of settings.
- Enable the plugin by changing the `RUN` parameter from disabled to one you prefer (`schedule`, `always_after_scan`, `on_new_device`).
- Specify the `PHOLUS_RUN_TIMEOUT` (Will be divided by the number of subnets specified in the Arp-Scan (Network scan) plugin setting `SCAN_SUBNETS`)
- SAVE
- wait for the next scan to finish
- Wait for the next scan to finish
