So looks like with 8.2r2 Aerohive is supporting the hostnames in the beacons.

I noticed in HMOL NG that there is an option under Additional Settings --> Management Options and then "Hostname in Beacons". So I'm guessing will need to create a Management Option profile and turn this feature on as well as upgrade the AP's to 8.2r2 for this to work? I tried to use the help option but it doesn't say anything about it.

Thank you, showing up in the packet capture so that is cool.

Hello, yes you would need to turn the feature on and make sure your devices were on at least HiveOS 8.2r2. I will let our documentation team know that the help file is missing information on this feature, thank you for letting us know.
