Hello,

 

you have 2 possibilities to recover the name of the machine via an irule (With User IP Address). either by doing the correspondence in a datagroup. I do not know how many machines you have, but it might take a long time for you to record and maintain them in a datagroup.

 

or the simple way is to do a reverse dns (PTR) via an Irule, however, as previously specified you need a specific license for this. you can request an add-on of tests and validate this feature. if it interests you I can make you irule.

 

Regards
