WatchYourLAN is a lightweight network IP scanner written in Go with a web GUI, designed to discover and track hosts on a local network via ARP scanning. It sends notifications when new hosts appear, maintains online/offline history, and can export data to InfluxDB2 or Prometheus for Grafana dashboards.

Use cases

  • monitor which devices are connected to my home network
  • get notified when a new device joins my LAN
  • track online/offline history of network hosts
  • detect unknown devices on my network for security
  • visualize network host data in a Grafana dashboard
  • keep an inventory of all devices on my LAN

When to choose

  • you want a simple, lightweight self-hosted LAN device scanner with a web UI
  • you need alerts when new devices appear on your network
  • you want to export network presence data to Prometheus/InfluxDB and Grafana
  • you run a home lab or small network and want device history

When to avoid

  • you need built-in authentication (requires external SSO like Authelia)
  • you need deep packet inspection or full network monitoring like Nagios/Zabbix
  • you need to scan networks across multiple subnets or WANs
  • you need enterprise-grade intrusion detection with signature analysis
