Why does an asset not have a hostname listed?

Modified on Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 3:38 PM

Sometimes runZero cannot detect the hostname of a system because it is not exposed through any network service.

In addition, there are some hostnames that are ignored because they are generic names found across many devices. Examples are localhost, localhost.localdomain, and workgroup.

In addition, single-character hostnames won't be associated with an asset.
