Example Database Entry

Connections are stored in the database in the "connections" table. A typical entry will look as below. 

                          id: 1
                        name: My Home Network
                      org_id: 1
                 description: 192.168.1.0/24
                        type: subnet
     devices_assigned_to_org: NULL
devices_assigned_to_location: NULL
             network_address: http://192.168.1.20/open-audit/
                   system_id: 0
                       other: {"subnet":"192.168.1.0\/24"}
                device_count: 0
                     discard: n
                  created_by: Administrator
