Hi there,
is there a possibility to show the client names instead of the client IPs in the query log?
I gave the active clients names within the client subitem, but I still see just IPs within the query log.

In settings > DNS
there is an entry for conditional forwarding
Conditional forwarding
If not configured as your DHCP server, Pi-hole typically won’t be able to determine the names of devices on your local network. As a result, tables such as Top Clients will only show IP addresses.
Activate this feature and put in your network address and the IP of the DHCP server.
Or create a custom configuration for dnsmasq to be able to pass PTR request to your DHCP server.
Or is Pihole DHCP server?
thanks, that seems to be the kind of solution.
But I still don’t really understand, why PiHole has the subitem “clients”. So I can name them, but I can not see these names within the query log. Is there any other sense for this subitem?
I think the solution of Jappe is quicker. For I don’t even know what PTR requests are
The router is DHCP server.
For the functionality and why thinks are as they are, you can check with Pihole guy’s
For PTR Reverse DNS lookup - Wikipedia
Reverse DNS lookup or reverse DNS resolution (rDNS) is the querying technique of the Domain Name System (DNS) to determine the domain name associated with an IP address
I configure this on my Pihole to get host name for IPv6 clients from router
thanks!
