Client names not resolving

[BananaHammock743]

Pi.Alert 2.60 (2021-01-20).

Client names are not resolving, instead shows (unknown) for all clients except Router.

No PiHole setup on the VM which runs Pi.Alert (PiHole on it's own Pi), this may be something to do with it as my previous installation was on same Pi as PiHole with PIHOLE_ACTIVE = True in /pialert/config/pialert.conf and names resolved as expected. Can post more install info if needed.

Clients names resolve on other devices/apps on network (Fing mobile app on iOS, Angry IP scanner on Windows, etc), Pi.Alert seems to be the only one which doesn't resolve.

Same here, with 2.61. Also running it in a VM with a separate physical Pi-hole.

Im getting the same on 2.61 with PiAlert running on the same Pi as PiHole.

PiHole resolves names

At the moment Pi.Alert don't have device name resolution.
Now, it only uses the device names identified by Pi.Hole and DHCP server (dnsmasq).
In the future, Pi.Alert will include a resolution name.

Added Device name resolution using Reverse DNS in your LAN
If you don't have a local DNS server (Pi-hole, router u other) the device name can't be resolved.
This feature will be available in next version.
