Feature Requests for larger networks

lukebarone commented 5 years ago

Support for remote DHCP servers (i.e. connected over SSH to a remote server on our network)
Support for multiple DHCP servers (not just the system it's running from)
Support for include <filename.conf>'s in the DHCPd Config

Yes, those features would be awesome; yes, I'd love to beta test it in a closed environment if you decide to go this route

Glass was a two weekend project released to the masses built around my use cases at the time. I knew that folks would want includes and also IPv6 support, but I can't rationalize putting time into this project currently to make feature advancements at this time unless an organization was willing to pay for them due to many other commitments. I am only doing bug fixes and small enhancements when time permits.

(1-2) Remote DHCP servers is would require agents and listeners to backhaul to a collector server which then displays the servers themselves, this is just not in the current design of Glass as it requires file system access and listening to data realtime to provide the analytics and insights you see today
(3) Totally thought about this during the initial design, but it wasn't my goal to make a file browser / editor at first and the MVP was just to get the base config included within the editor

Thanks for making these suggestions though and I hope you've gotten use out of Glass! I know we certainly did at the time and it put us ahead of major outages

I have, I'm slowly spreading it to other techs in my organization :) In our duties though, we manage multiple servers in multiple locations, so that's why I thought it'd be a great enhancement to have - one interface to rule them all, so to speak.
