Pihole -t displays just source IP address instead of dns name, but the GUI query log view, displays dns names

Help

Hi supporter.

we use two pihole systems ( pihole v5.17.2, FTL v5.23, Web Interface v5.20.2).
In the GUI log we see the source DNS name, but we do not see it in the pure console when we use the command "> pihole -t".
All hosts are in the /etc/hosts file, as well in pihole Local DNS section in the GUI. Logging in the GUI looks fine, but not in the pure console view.

We check several community posts, but the comments often for the GUI logging view, not pure console view. Any hints how we can see source DNS name for the pure console view with pihole -t ?

Thanks in advance.

When you tail the dnsmasq/pihole log with pihole -t, domain names are not expected or available. The log contains only IP's.

Domain names are added to the query log by FTL as an additional process.

OK, that was what I like to read: ..."domain names are not expected or available" with pihole -t.
Then we can stop to search for further solutions.

Thanks.
