netinfo plugin
This plugin provides meta information about a network interface.
Functions
| netinfo::exists(device) | determine existence of network device |
| netinfo::hwaddr(device) | get hardware address (usually MAC address) |
| netinfo::ipaddr(device) | get IPv4 address |
| netinfo::netmask(device) | get netmask (IPv4) in long format like “255.255.255.0” |
| netinfo::netmask_short(device) | |
| netinfo::bcaddr(device) | get broadcast address (IPv4) |
'device' is a valid network device name, e.g. 'eth0' (do a 'cat /proc/net/dev' for valid names on your system)
Example
Widget IPaddress {
class 'Text'
expression netinfo::ipaddr('eth0').netinfo::netmask_short('eth0')
prefix 'IP'
width 20
align 'R'
update minute
}
This should show the IP address of device eth0 in 20 columns like
IP 192.168.0.2/24
