DHCP log?

[Kineas]

We are currently running Lightspeed Rocket for our filtering. This requires a small piece of software installed on each computer that can track what user is currently logged in so that it can apply the correct filtering policy and also link the user to any entries in the reports. As far as I'm aware, there is no OSX version of this software so our 30+ Macs all go through a default filtering policy.

 

In the filtering reports, the only information I get about these computers is their IP address. Obviously if something flags up on a report I'll get the IP address of the computer in question and the date and time, but I need to link that to the user that was on the computer at the time. Our DHCP is set to lease an address for 24 hours. Is there a log or any software to keep a log what computers were assigned what IP addresses over the last 7 days? I don't need to look at the previous 7 days from now, I just need something in place going forward.

There is a OSX version of the lightspeed agent. Speak with your supplier, or PM me.

 

I run a script to archive my dhcp leases for more than seven days - this is for our BYOD logs.

Not exactly "neat" formatting, but it will log them all in C:\Windows\System32\dhcp

 

e.g.
