Name resolution for logs

[Dr_Steve_Brule]

What is the mechanism for name resolution of logs in SmartConsole?  Most of them resolve names, but I have several IPs addresses that do not resolve, yet if I do an nslookup from my GW, log server, or my machine (all using same DNS server), they resolve to a name.  For example:  34.241.80.142 does not resolve in SmartConsole.

The name resolution should occur on the management/log server.
Is it consistently specific hosts that can’t resolve or?

Hi,

1. By right click a host on the log view you can quickly create an object in your DB that will resolve it.

2. Is there a difference between the resources? One is Akamai while the other is AWS? If so, is the DNS server in Akamai? Is the SMS in Akamai as well?

Hey Steve,

Make sure below is selected, though Im 99.99% sure it should be, by default.
