Hello, I just implemented a PiHole at work, so our office DNS now is the PiHole.  
I want to make sure everything is working correctly so I monitor URLs that are blocked in the Query Log, to make sure no website that should be blocked, is blocked.

But when I look at the Query Log, I get a ton of similar or identical entries. also, I need to manually refresh every few seconds.

so it would be helpful to group entries by domain or other options, and also an auto-refresh.

thanks and have a great day!

> Hey all, Love love love Pi-Hole! But a feature that seems to be missing for me is a simple refresh button on the query log page. Would also be great to have a checkbox or option that allows one to view the requests in real time. As it is, I have to constantly refresh the page for new entries

Please vote over there.
