multiple entries for the same Host on automatic host discovery

[BMI-IT-Operations]

Hi there,

when Discover new hosts is activated I'll get multiple entries for the same Host. The Host is on DHCP and changes it's IP address from time to time and everytime phpipam adds the same Host as a new one instead of updating the existing entry.
I've configured also the following scripts on cron: pingCheck.php, discoveryCheck.php, resolveIpaddresses.php
The script remove_offline_addresses.php is not an option, because it will also delete manual entries as kind of a reservation.

phpipam has this specs:

• phpIPAM version: 1.6
• OS: Debian 12.5
• PHP version: php 7.2 64bit
• Webserver Apache
• DatabaseMariaDB 10.2

Hopefully you can give me an advice!
Thank you!

Finally I found the solution. It turned out you have to edit your config.php and edit the section "resolveIPaddress.php script parameters". Change the parameter in line "resolve_emptyonly = true" to "false".

Run the script with cron and it will update the database.
