The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.21 and newer, which introduced Host Resolution. |
You can use Host Resolution to find missing host details (IP address and/or hostname) by using the Host Resolution options in the Data Management tab from the Administration page. (This page is visible only for License Statistics administrator users.)
Host Resolution options are disabled by default and can be set at any time. During the querying of realtime license servers, the enabled option(s) will be executed automatically when the hostname or IP address is missing. The hostname(s) and/or IP address(es) that are found will be used for future processing and report generation, thereby limiting the risk of duplicated hosts (where one has known hostnames and the other has unknown hostnames).
You may select one or both of the following Host Resolution options.
Option | Result |
---|---|
Realtime DNS lookup | Uses DNS lookup to find the missing IP address in the network based on hostname |
Realtime rDNS lookup | Uses Reverse DNS lookup to find the missing hostname in the network based on IP address |
