Future request - Ghost Clients

I have a suggestion for the ghost clients page:

-   Reverse the order of hostname/IP.  Being able to cut-n-paste right into the hosts.cfg file would be much easier.

-   Include a button which would show the actual client data being sent (clientlog file).  There have been multiple occasions when the IP displayed on the list is not the actual IP of the server.  Being able to look at the actual clientlog file would aid in identifying the server and why it is on the list.


Thanks,
John

This is nearly what you're asking for:

So, feel free to steal it and make it do what you need!!

I like this idea, too.

This is ok if you assume that all servers in the ghost list are new additions.  If it is a server that is in the process of being decommissioned or a test server with a limited life then it just adds to my work.

But, at least it allows for access to the datafile which is what I was originally after but I stand by my original request.
