Hi,
I'm new to Elastic Security.
Network events are logged with destination IP address. Is there any way it can be translated to hostname/FQDN.?
Is there any setting can be done for DNS resolution.?
I'm currently running trial instance in GCP.

Thanks & Regards

Don't believe there's a way to do it in elastic or in a pipeline currently, this is something you would want to do in Logstash - [Dns filter plugin | Logstash Reference [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-dns.html)
