How to show hostname instead of ip in query log?

[ouquoi]

Hi,

I would like to know how i can see hostname instead of ip in query log. Currently i can see only IP.
Do we have to activate something somewhere ?

It will be very helpfull with more than 20 devices it start tos be hard to remember all my device ip.

My network configuration is :
DCHP Server hosted on nas synology
PI-Hole have a static ip adress.

My dns config on pihole

My routeur is a french adsl box.
Pi hole is running on a RPI3

If you need more information to help me just ask

Sorry i'm just a user of pi-hole and not a technical guy

Thanks a lot
