Hi Jeff, 

Thanks for that suggestion.  Yeah, it's even more of an issue for people on load-balanced servers that may have 6+ IPs constantly rotating.

For the next version we'll show only the latest change only with an option to see/expand the "last seen" for any recent IPs.

are those ip addresses only those that access cmsb/admin or any user who accesses the website? I am unsure of the intent of this info. Personally I am more interested in IPs that access the site when there is an issue and we have that in the developer logs and audit logs. The last server IP has no meaning for me. That may not be true for everyone.

Hi Jeff, 

It logs $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] anytime CMSB files are loaded and more than an hour has passed since the last check.

In general, the "Recent Changes" section lets us see if anything has happened on the server recently, such as if a web host moved an account to a new server or IP block, downgrades, upgrades, etc.  It lets us see at a quick glance if there were any other changes that might have caused things to stop working.  

Whenever we get a call that a website has been working for years and all of a sudden it just stopped working, we check that list, and it's often a server change that the user was unaware of.

If you manage your own server that's probably much less likely to happen, though.

ok I see that, i like most of the info such as php, apache or whatever etc, just not the server IP. Anyway i can certainly live with it.
