Is any one have any idea how to populate the full DNS name of device without modifying the global property to append the full DNS name with device?

I want to populate the full DNS name for some of the devices in a custom field.

DNS name is not populated in cmdb_ci_dns_name afaik. Have a look at this. The Table Name column will show which table has DNS domain.


Ankush,



I see a 'DNS Names for CIs'   in the related list of a server. It points me to the cmdb_ci_dns_name table. I think its populated by the DNS probe. The table stopped getting new entries from a particular date. I see the DNS Names for the CIs before that date. I am not seeing them for the CIs created aftre that date. I wonder what changed. Do not see any rule stopping it though.


Under Discovery properties, check these two settings
