Use the Hosts page

The Hosts page searches DHCP reservations and active leases. It can show related DHCP log lines and delete stale leases when needed.

Open the Hosts page

  1. Sign in to Powercode Link.
  2. Select Hosts in the page selector.

You need observability access to search hosts. Deleting leases requires configuration/write access.

Search for a host

Hosts are loaded only after you submit a search.

  1. Enter a search value in the search box. You can search by:
  • IP address
  • MAC address
  • client ID or DUID
  • hostname
  • subnet
  • reservation identifier
  1. Select Search.

The page shows counts for matching Reservations and Leases.

Use Refresh results to rerun the current search.

Review reservations and leases

Search results are split into two tables:

  • Reservations: configured host reservations.
  • Leases: current DHCP leases.

Each row shows the server, address, subnet, identifier, hostname, status, and available actions.

Select a row to open details.

Read host details

The details panel shows:

  • DHCP server (v4 or v6).
  • Address or addresses.
  • Subnet.
  • Identifier and identifier type.
  • Decoded flex-id when available.
  • Hostname.
  • Lease type/state and expiration for leases.
  • Related DHCP log lines.
  • Raw DHCP server object.

Related logs are searched by address, MAC/client identifier, and hostname against the matching DHCP log.

Delete a lease

If a stale or incorrect lease must be removed:

  1. Search for the host.
  2. Find the lease in the Leases table.
  3. Select Delete on the row, or select the row and then select Delete lease in the details panel.
  4. Confirm the browser prompt.

Caution: Deleting a lease removes it from the DHCP server. The client may request a lease again. Do this only when you intend to clear the current lease state.

Reservations cannot be deleted from this page; reservation rows show Logs only.

Troubleshooting

  • If no results appear, try a shorter search term, confirm the server (v4/v6), or verify the host currently has a reservation or lease.
  • If related logs are empty, the log tail window may not include the event anymore.
  • If delete fails, confirm you have the required access and that the DHCP server is reachable.
