11 clients, but shows 7 active,
i am also using format for every device example:
00:20:e0:3b:13:af,192.168.0.123,laptop,infinite
4 devices are not being named. 2 routers, 1 as a repeater, my smart phone and a PC.
Not sure if this is the "proper" way of doing it but it worked for me:
(I'm having 16 reserved DHCP addresses)
Create line(s) for 'Static DHCP config'
Save
Delete old DHCP entries (in 'Currently active DHCP leases')
Save
Reboot device(s) You added earlier
This should force refreshing the DHCP entries...
Your second image shows all 11 clients.
The Dashboard shows 7 clients because only these 7 clients used Pi-hole in the last 24h.
If a device doesn't use Pi-hole as DNS server, it won't be considered active.

thank you. so i have 11 clients that use pihole. all of them are assigned a hostname as example in op, only 7 have a hostname, 4 are not being assigned the host name i gave them. all clients use pihole.
How did you gave names? Are you using Pi-hole as DHCP server or your routers?
Please upload a Debug log and post here only the token.
like 00:20:e0:3b:13:af,192.168.0.123,laptop
my pc is 5 capitalized letters, smartphone first letter capitalized, one router and same model router as a repeater, it all worked fine 2 months ago or so. now the 4 devices not being assigned its hostnames. i'll see how to get bug log
i dunno how to do a debug log. sorry.
Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:
pihole -d
or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:
docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d
where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.
why is pihole not issuing hostname? 2-3 months ago all hostnames worked.
i issued a new static ip and name of a device and issued same specs of mac,ip,name and pihole is still not issuing its name under devices, just ip. but shows the device ip is using pihole.
i am also using format for every device example:
00:20:e0:3b:13:af,192.168.0.123,laptop
also i wiped out Static DHCP configuration and left one device with example above, few devices are being detected by ip,name. i have 4 devices not being issued a static name configured correctly. i cleared dhcp table rebooted rpi4.
so i logged into pihole through ethernet pc. network table is blank n says processing.
ive been logging in through wifi on a smart phone.
think someone got a hold of my wifi n pihole pw?
also can i disable wifi connection to pihole?
I wonder how you managed to open Network overview when there's no menu entry for it?
That screenshot doesn't look like a current v6 installation?
It's missing labels and even whole sections in the left hand navigation tree.
Could you provide a fresh debug token?
Ok, i found out that static DHCP configuration is not working at all. Pihole-Unbound is reading the device names and issues the host name by device name and no matter if i edit static dhcp config to a different name, static dhcp config is not over riding the device names. i am confused.
So I ended up uninstalling pihole and unbound, reinstalled both, pihole latest that the bash install cmd installs. All is gravy now:slightly_smiling_face:. all clients are being issued custom host static name. I don't know where/when/how dev build git broke on my end.
