email on new mac address found

[jsking]

I have looked everywhere I know to look, and I cannot find where/how to enable an email on the discovery of a new mac. Could someone point me in the right direction?
I just recently updated to 2.9.
Thanks,
Jared

Hi,
this is the part of poller_mactrack where it checks for the mac addresses in mac watch.

/* process macwatch data */
$macwatches = db_fetch_assoc("SELECT * FROM mac_track_macwatch");
if (sizeof($macwatches)) {
$from = read_config_option("mt_from_email");
$fromname = read_config_option("mt_from_name");

foreach($macwatches as $record) {
/* determine if we should check this one */
$found = db_fetch_row("SELECT *
FROM mac_track_temp_ports
WHERE mac_address='" . $record["mac_address"] . "'");

If I read this correctly it checks the mac_track_macwatch table against all mac addresses found,
so unless you populate the mac_track_macwatch table with ALL mac addresses in the world it won't work this way.
I think using Mac Authorizations is a better thing for what you want to do ?

In Settings / Device tracking you can setup MacAuth Report E-Mail Addresses.

Did anybody find a way for receiving macwatch notifications on any new MAC address detected in the network?
May be some kind of wildcard address should be specified in macwatch?
