Have DNS names instead of IPs in dashboard

[ogghi]

Hi There,

first thanks for the nice solution I'm evaluating right now.

Is there a way to show DNS names instead of the IPs in the dashboard?

DNS is working properly on the machine.

Best regards
David

You will be interested in the DNS filter: http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.2/filters/dns

When you enable the above filter and logs come in, Nagios Log Server will attempt to resolve the IPs to names via reverse DNS lookup. NLS can then re-write specified fields with FQDN instead of an IP.

You will likely want to define a filter similar to the following:

Code: Select all

dns {
reverse => [ "host" ]
action => [ "replace" ]
add_tag => [ "dns" ]
}

Thanks for the hint.
I also just figured out there's a field called Hostname
