Display IP in grid

[ohmus]

I recently upgraded to ver 2019.3.19.15.59 and there is no longer a column displaying the IP address of the host.

I typically import from AD and we have many subnets across multiple offices, so sometimes it helps to move them to other tabs based on IP.

Is there a way to enable it? I haven’t found a setting for it.

There was never a column dedicated for displaying the IP address. The behavior didn’t change in the 2019.3.19.15.59 version. There is a Host column where you may enter the hostname, the FQDN, or the IP address. If you ping a host in BP, it will display the IP that is being pinged in the ping reply column. This is how it has always been.

Could use the following local command;

wmic /node:$computer nicconfig “IPEnabled=true” get IPAddress

But will give 2 lines, the following works in a cmd prompt, but BP doesn’t like the pipe…

wmic /node:$computer nicconfig where “IPEnabled=true” get IPAddress | find “{“

is it possible to add a column for IP address in a future release. It would be very helpful to me as well for similar reasons.

the result of something like this powershell:
Test-Connection -ComputerName hostname -Count 1 | Select IPV4Address

It would return the primary IP of the primary NIC – which is good enough.

Thanks.

Considering that you can see the IP in the ‘ping reply’ column when you ping a host, and that you can enter an IP directly into the host column if desired, could you elaborate on why it would be beneficial to have an additional column that displays the IP? What is your use case?

Also btw fyi you can put the following syntax into either a BatchPatch ‘local command’ or into a BatchPatch ‘remote command (logged output)’ to get the result as well:

powershell.exe "Test-Connection -ComputerName $computer -Count 1 | Select IPV4Address"

Thanks.

One step further, this will return just the IPv4 address without a column header:
powershell.exe "((Test-Connection -ComputerName $computer -Count 1).IPV4Address).IPAddressToString"
