Hello,
is there a way where we can dynamically identify and set-up a corresponding column which displays the FQDN of the associative IP host entry in the unique host page? Thanks

What version of Log Server are you running? You can grab it from the bottom left hand side of the web interface.

The Unique Hosts report should show the DNS address in parenthesis, see the attached image. As long as your DNS is setup it should use gethostbyname PHP function to return the proper DNS entry.

Am I misunderstanding what you're looking for or does that meet your needs?

Hello,

thanks for the reply. We are running the latest version--2.0.5.
I'll try and populate some dns/ptr records to do the reverse lookup on the ip address in the unique host field. Will that work to get the hostname in the ()?

thanks

@mtarose, That should do it. Otherwise its also possible to set up the DNS filter in the elasticsearch:
