custom-report column issue

Hi All

There is a problem of custom report in the PA-500 with PANOS 3.1.10.

I choose the "Soruce Address" and "Destination Address" into part of column of my schedule custom-report, however when I got report, The report cloumn is auto generate new two fields "Soruce Host Name" and "Destination Host Name".

The new two fields are impact report dispaly, because some fields will be covered if the fields are too more, and Is there a known way to correct this?

Thanks.

I believe the hostname fields are added automatically via DNS lookup. It is meant to help pinpoint the hosts registered at the time of the traffic was processed. I don't think it can be disabled.

Thanks.

It's been that way since PAN-OS 2.1.

The bad part is that if you have the report emailed to you, it never does the DNS lookup. You just get two columns of host IP addresses.
