How to hide mDNS entries in Top Permitted Domains stats?

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

I'd expect top permitted domains to be FQDNs only.

Actual Behaviour:

Seeing very chatty mDNS entries (all my devices, but particularly my LG sound bar's "_googlezone" by a wide margin) cluttering the top of the permitted domains stats on the dashboard.

All queried domains are included in the stats. There is an option to exclude specified domains from the top lists (Web GUI > Settings > API/Web Interface > Top Lists), but they will still be included in your overall statistics.

Thanks so much for the reply. I don't really know much about the ins and outs of mDNS, but I thought it worked via broadcast, rather than querying a server. More like..."Hey, who's here?", instead of "Hey buddy, where do I find this guy that lives on my street?"

Maybe it has to do with using .local as my domain name (this is a home network)?

Either way, I added *.local to the Top Domains list and that seems to be working for the dashboard. Thank for the help!
