So maybe I'm missing something, but it looks like the only way to see a hostname is to add it manually under "Description" column in the device view. I noticed on the device list view (after adding from network scan) I see only the IP addresses of each device, but not the actual hostname. It would be great if a column could be added to that view that specifies the DNS hostname as it resolves internally. I suppose you'd need to add that to the discovery algorithm too ;-)

This is definitely planned, and on the Roadmap: https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/Roadmap
Discovery will retrieve device's hostname, and you will have an option to use that as the device description.

Currently, Network Scan has the ability to set device descriptions to their rDNS records, but we understand not all networks have (up to date) rDNS :)
