Clearpass tacacs+ NAD name in access tracker

We are using clearpass as a tacacs server for about 300 devices and it is working well.

One thing that is bugging me a bit though is that in the access tracker view, requests display the username/timestamp/source/NAS/NAD ip address etc in columns just fine but I cant find a way of displaying the NAD name in the columns. This makes it a bit more cumbersome to have to go manually look up the IP address in the Device list to figure out which device it is. There is an option to add "NAS name" as a column but this never gets populated with anything.

Ive spoken to Aruba support and the best workaround we were able to come up with was to add a sysname variable to each NAD with the hostname in it. Then we could open a request and see the hostname in the computed attributes.

It would be a lot more simple and helpful to just have it displayed in a column in access tracker.

Anyone found a way to make this happen?
