Friendly name for Sources.

Post by beverhart »

Is it possible to edit the sources to something besides just the ip? I see that it will pull DNS if there is an entry but alot of our stuff is not in DNS.

Regards,

Hi

Where are wanting to see the friendly names?

I know if you aren't using DNS you can list the IP and hostname in /etc/hosts and the Reports will show whatever you used
in /etc/hosts parenthetically:

If you are talking about the dashboard it doesn't seem like it is using the entry from /etc/hosts but you may be able
to set up some mappings

Thanks
