NTA list some nodes Host name with the IP address. How do I change it to the computer name?

In the NTA settings, check "Enable NetBIOS..." It's a little misleading, but that does the DNS lookups.

I do not see this setting. Exactly where is it?

deverts

Provided you are an admin, it's Settings -> All Settings -> NTA Settings

I thought I was in NTA but I was not. Found it.

Thanks

the nodes are still listed with IP and not DNS

Are you talking about the Netflow sources themselves, or the nodes in the conversations? The settings above are for the conversations, as long as you have DNS entries for the IPs, they should resolve (otherwise you have a DNS issue). If you are talking the netflow sources, these are just NPM nodes and the name is listed however you have them in NPM.

In NPM they show the DNS name. It's NTA that show the IP. The conversations show the DNS. The Top 10 show the IP
