DNS Process Plugin

The DNS process plugin provides the domain name assigned to an IP address and the other way around. The plugin takes any number of inputs (IP addresses or hostname) and an equal number of aliases to store the output. For any input provided, the plugin first verifies the value of the field. If the value is an IP address, it resolves the address to its hostname. Otherwise, it resolves the value to an IP address.

Bug Fix

  • Previously, the application did not resolve some IP addresses (spoofed IPs) to their corresponding hostnames. This has been fixed. 

  • The application now highlights enriched fields in the participating logs while using the join query in the process command. 

Important Notice

It takes a longer time for the plugin to execute the process command for the unresolved IP Addresses. 

Sample Log

Usage Information

For example, the "| process dns(ip) as domain_name" command resolves the ip field value to the hostname and stores the hostname to the domain_name field.
