#16 Utilise ifLastChange in unused ports
Thanks for this tool.
Would it be possible to add the switch generated last interface change time to the port list page ?
The Days Inactive detail is primarily what we want to use this tool for, but as we have only just installed, it is going to take some time for this data to be useful.
The Days Inactive counter is valuable, as when a switch is reset the ifLastChange also resets as it is a tick count
I located the snmp OID for this - and added it to the Constants.pm file (attached) - I did attempt to add it into PopulatePorts.pm - but as I have no experience in PERL programming this did not work - I suspect that there are a few regions that need to be amended.

I think this could be useful, but I'd have to add another column to the columns displayed for every port. The new column would contain a timestamp, so it would be rather wide. The tables are already rather wide :-) Others have suggested that I add columns for interface counters, error counters, etc. I have to stop somewhere. I think it's a good idea, and I've added it to my long list of TODOs, but I have some higher priorities so I don't think I'll get to it soon. Thanks!
