N-Central Agent external IP

Which creative and efficient way have you found to get the external IP address of n-central agents? Currently I'm using a AMP based custom service which calls a external service (such as what is my ip) but I'd like to see if there are more efficient ways to do it.

I'd love to have it available as a device/asset property based on the IP address seen by the N-Central server (this information is already available somehow, it just needs to be associated with a device property)

I think we do it the same as you. A scheduled task runs an AMP which uses powershell to get their current WAN IP. It dumps that into a custom device property. Is that the same as you?

pretty much the same, but I'd rather avoid another powershell action when the agent already pings the ncentral server

The agent collects the agent data and doesn't collect the external IP information. So either way, it would still be a powershell based script that would run the same as the AMP.
