Without having to search the log file itself~~~it would be much appreciated since I do find interesting anomalies all the time from PiHole about my network.

ex: Noticed desktop w/ 12,000 DNS requests. There's no way for me to find out exactly what that is without selecting desktop from the query list and just hitting 'next' every page to figure out what it is. Instead of

cdn.company.com  
cdn.company.com  
cdn.company.com

it could be

3x cdn.company.com  
(or a circular graph works too like for query types/forward destinations.

agreed, this would be very helpful if the query logs/analytics would be rolled up into groupings.

Closing in favor of

> Can you please add an option to filter out duplicate domains from the query log section. Because it can often be difficult to analyze the logs with so many duplicate entries. Thanks

as it request the same: deduped Query Log.
