Hi

How can I filter the hostname as a type of a field in the field list? please see the attached.
Usually in filtering, always we see the IP address. I want to get the Hostname as well because it will help to user to understand the node name easily rather than the IP address.

Thank you
Luke.

Hello, @lukedevon. Is the hostname getting passed inside the logs or do you want to have the log server automatically do a DNS lookup on the host IP address? If the answer is the second I suggest adding the following filter: This way the hostname should appear right after the IP address, separated by a comma.
