Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to resolve IP to host, for logs ingested from elastic-agents. Within Filebeat i can use dns processor, but i don't know how to do this for agent data...

Not all integrations will be able to do reverse dns at the agent: [Agent | Local DNS Processing · Issue #2532 · elastic/integrations · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/issues/2532)

You would have to modify the pipelines and do more processing at the agent instead of within Elasticsearch
