List of hosts reporting

Is there any way to identify a list of hosts that are currently reporting to the Nagios Log server cluster?
I can see the total number, but have no section I can find that shows me a list of said hosts.
We are planning on adding over 700 servers, and a large number of other syslog sources, and would like to be able to verify any given server as reporting.
Thanks!

The easiest way to get a list of hosts is by making a terms table. To do so, you can navigate to the 'Dashboards' section of NLS and click the following icon:
2015-12-16 12_23_25-Dashboard • Nagios Log Server.png
After you generate the table, you may drag it into your working dashboard. You may also select the 'gear' icon to increase the amount of hosts that are listed. Keep in mind that if you view all 700 hosts at all times this list will be giant - but it should serve your purposes well.
You can also query for a specific host in the query section:
2015-12-16 12_25_21-Dashboard • Nagios Log Server.png
