I would like to start and thank you for an exceptional good application.
I have a problem with the value in the column ‘Days Inactive' are not shown for some reason. The script seams to get the right data from the file stored in .idlesince/
How long have you been running switchmap? It takes a while for them to show up. They will only show up if they are past the threshold specified in ThisSite.pm. Default is 60 days.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The switch has been up for 41 days and I have lowered the value in ‘ThisSite.pm’ to 3 days just to verify this. I still see the white columns, without any counted days as I see in demo.

Switchmap calculates it based on time since it was added to the idlesince file. If you have only been querying that switch/port for less than your time in ThisSite.pm then you will now have it show up. How long has switchmap been scanning that Switch and that port?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It is calculated from the FIRST time switchmap find that there is no MAC address on that port. Once there is a MAC address on that port it is considered active.
Hope that helps.

The switch has only been monitored for a couple of hours, I was under the impression that the swichmap application asked the switch for uptime (SNMP: sysUpTimeInstance) and compared it with (SNMP: ifLastChange) the value of the last change for the interface.
As a mentioned before I do get some values in the idlesince/{file}
Fa0/5 1176815647
What is the UNIX-timestamp calculated on? Is that the present timestamp since the ‘switchmap’ application was started? And if that is the case do you only update the file when the value I ‘0’ (Active).

he he ... let me say it this way, not long enough :)
I just waited for a couple of hours, because this was just a lab. But now I know where the problem is located so I can continue with the labs.
Thank you for the help,
