Network scanner (just for IPs + hostnames)

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a tool to scan our entire company network continuously to get an overview of the devices in the network together with information when they have last been seen.

Information I need: IP, Status, Hostname, Last Response

The tool should scan the whole network and store that information for clients that are no longer reachable as long as no other client is reachable under the same ip.

Solarwinds used to have a IP Address Management Solution as part of the engineers toolset which offered exactly this functionality, but it looks like it is no longer supported nowadays.

They still have a solution that would fulfill the requirements, but it is a full blown IPAM which I don't need and don't really want to pay for as the price seems to depend on the amount of IPs in your address space.

Tools like Angry IP Scanner are pretty close, but they are missing the last seen information which is important for me.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an open source solution which would offer this basic functionality?

Thanks in advance!
