Hi, related to topic "Parse the field host" ( [Parse the field host](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/parse-the-field-host/176069)), I have another question, but the topic is closed.

Is there a way to replace "[icmp-anothericmp-ip@0.0.0.0](mailto:icmp-anothericmp-ip@0.0.0.0)" to show only "anothericmp" under Host column and yet show the right IP address under IP column?

I tried just putting the host name in the configuration file instead of the IP address. This will show the Host name as desired, but then the IP will not match. It will show 127.0.1.1 or other unknown IP address.

If I leave "localhost" on each server configuration, then I will have a lot of "localhost" in the Uptime dashboard.

Thanks

Hi @ManuelF - what version of the Elastic Stack are you using here?

Are you sure the IP is not correct? Do these hostnames map to both private and public IPs?

When I set "localhost", first I will have a lot of "localhosts" on my dashboard, and second, it will assign an unknown IP address (not public). The real IP will be shown only when is the server running ELK
