Resolve hostnames

Hi. We recently deployed Fortianalyzer 200D with 5.0.2 which recieves logs from two Fortigate 100D units. How do we enable hostnames to appear in the logs and reports instead of just IP addresses? Thanks.

You can set Detect and Identify Devices on your Wan1. The hostname should then appear in the logs but bear in mind most of the reports will still show ip' s. You might want to enable FSSO or LDAP to get usernames instead of ip' s.

Thanks rocknob. If resolve IP option is enabled in Fortigate, then the hostnames can be obtained from the source name field. We now get the hostnames in the logs. The report require a few changes with regard to the dataset.

Hi, when you are creating a reprort, you can select under Chart settings an option: Resolve Hostname
