Firebox Front panel dns resolution of ip addresess
I have fireboxes running version 12.10.1.B689694 what needs to be done for the firebox to resolve ip's shown on the dashboard front panel page?
I already have entered the ip's of the dns servers

There is no option to do this.
Notice that the example shown in the docs does not resolve IP addresses.
Monitor your Firebox with Fireware Web UI

Hi @NetworkWise
If the firebox shows website names on front panel, this will be due to logging being enabled for the HTTP/HTTPS proxies. The domain names come from the GET requests made by the clients.
Dimension can do reverse DNS lookups for clients on your network (provided there is a DNS server on network that can resolve them.) See this help article if you'd like to enable that:

After close inspection, I do have a few name resolutions showing on the Web UI Front Panel - Top Destinations.
However, the DNS names are after the IP addrs and are barely visible without hovering a cursor over the IP addr.
And since one can't increase the width of the Name column - there is no way to see them easily.0
