Visualising IP Usage With Highcharts

Whilst looking after a mid sized network (about 25 Subnets) I  wanted a way of visualising IPs that were out of use. Time to use Highcharts and a scatter chart.

ipuse

 

Across the X axis is the ip node, the Z Axis the network and the Y shows how many days since the ip was last seen.

As an IP falls out of use, it “floats” to the top of the chart. This view is a quick way of seeing what is being used, and what isnt.

Also the nodes are clickable and connected to more information about each machine, such as its mac address etc.

How we collect the usage data is another story 🙂
