Resolution


Symptom

When a role-based administrator account is used, logs and reports will display without usernames or IP addresses (1.2.3.4), instead networks will show (1.2.3.0/24), as shown in the example below:

The screenshot below shows an example of the Admin Role Profile configuration, with only the Traffic and URL Filtering options selected:

Cause

The full IPs and names do not display because the Privacy Section options to “Show Full IP Addresses” and “Show User Names In Logs And Reports” was not enabled.

 

Resolution

To configure full IPs and names in the logs and reports, go to Device > Admin Roles, under Privacy there are two items:

  • Show Full IP Address
  • Show User Names In Logs And Reports

Click to enable both items and commit, as shown in the example below:

After the configuration is complete, the log or report will display the full IP address and usernames:
