Not seeing any log entries in pihole dashboard

hey, thank you guys for devloping this amazing tool, installed on ubuntu 22.04 with check system os skipped and now it's loaded, but i notice there are number on the dashboard, and when i click in, there are no log entries. Pihole should be working, since i noticed diff when i open cnn.com before putting dns server as my server. what could be the issue here?

Your router is giving out your ISP's DNS to clients to use for DNS, so they are almost certainly bypassing Pi-hole. The log shows Pi-hole is working if it is being used. Try the following test from a computer on your network which you think should be using Pi-hole.

Check what server it's using – only Pi-hole can resolve this special domain name

nslookup pi.hole

Check again, this time explicitly asking Pi-hole

nslookup pi.hole 10.0.0.219

Check if this domain is being blocked, it will be if Pi-hole is being used

nslookup flurry.com

Check again, once again explicitly asking Pi-hole

nslookup flurry.com 10.0.0.219

Thanks for replying,

In another mac using 10.0.0.219 as DNS, I ran

nslookup pi.hole 10.0.0.219

and it returns

Server:		10.0.0.219
Address:	10.0.0.219#53

Name:	pi.hole
Address: 10.0.0.219

i ran

nslookup flurry.com 10.0.0.219

it returns

Server:		10.0.0.219
Address:	10.0.0.219#53

Name:	flurry.com
Address: 0.0.0.0

so it should be working fine, but why can't i see the log entries in the dashboard of admin?

You're not seeing those, and other, lookups in Query Log when you reload the page? Is Settings > Privacy set to Show everything and record everything?

No worries, glad it's all working. Note you still need to fix that router DHCP so that it's giving out your Pi-hole IP instead of your two ISP DNS IPs. Or else clients using DHCP will bypass your Pi--hole.
