Hi There,

I have two queries regarding the beats event output

1. If i install winlobeat and auditbeat on the same machine , In the SIEM host table i am getting two hosts as below (one with Just hostname and other with fqdn)

hostname1  
[hostname1.domain.com](http://hostname1.domain.com)

How can i make it to one.

1. In the SIEM events , we have three columns Field, Value & Description.

How can i remove the description column , will the description column takes some bytes for every event ?
