Display names instead of IP in query logs

Help docker

The issue I am facing:

Hi. Pi-hole only gives me the IP of users in the query logs and not their name. I tried to manually set up the names in the /etc/hosts of the NAS but it is not taken into account. I also tried to activate the Conditional Forwarding option but it is not working either.

Details about my system:

Pi-Hole installed with Docker on a NAS with MACVLAN installation.

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:

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 do it through the Web interface:

Tools > Generate Debug Log

Hello.
Here is my debug log:

Thank you!

Since your Pi-hole is already showing the individual IP's of clients, you need to make the names of the clients at those IP's available to Pi-hole.

Oct 27 20:56:08 dnsmasq[14206]: query[A] cdn-0.nflximg.com from 10.0.0.15

One option is to map the client IP's to client names using Local DNS records in Pi-hole.

Alright it is working for clients directly connected to pi-hole DNS. The Conditional Forwarding doesn’t seem to work though (still a lot of queries with IP of the router). Would you have any clue?
Thanks.
