Hi all,

I have Pi.Alert (along with Pi.hole) running on a RPi4. I recently moved my Dokuwiki instance (running in Docker) onto the same device and now Pi.Alert is complaining about lots of new devices. If I look at the IP addresses I can see they correspond to the network interfaces created by Docker. Is there any way to exclude these networks from Pi.Alert?

Thanks

If you run both Pi.Alert and Pi-hole, Pi.Alert will get the information on network devices from Pi-hole. The only way of I know of excluding active devices would be adding their MAC addresses to MAC_IGNORE_LIST in pialert.conf.

After adding about 20 MAC addresses I gave up and just moved pi.alert to my secondary dns server (a pi zero) which has no docker
