## Expected Behaviour:

Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)  
Kernel: Linux 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v7  
Architecture: arm

Core version is v6.4.3 (Latest: v6.4.3)  
Web version is v6.6 (Latest: v6.6)  
FTL version is v6.7.1 (Latest: v6.7.1)

In the Query log for the Pi-hole web UI I should be able to see the entries that are same as pihole log.

## Actual Behaviour:

Query log in web UI is empty but appears to be blocking correctly. When I tail log, I can see data.

tail -f /var/log/pihole.log

This is 100% expected.

You changed the privacy level to " **Anonymous mode**":

```auto
   [misc]
     privacylevel = 3 ### CHANGED, default = 0

If you want to see all queries on the dashboard, just like you see in the tail log page, you should use the default privacy level, to show everything:
