However things are being logged to log files, using IPs, and not machine names.

Both auth and syslog have IP entries which are pretty useless to me with things being on a DHCP network [which I also have no control over].


DNS and DHCP on the same box, so that (possibly?) DHCP can update DNS with device names? Otherwise, how do you map name to IP?

Another way would be to have the DHCP server to log MAC-IP-timestamp tuples, load it into some tool (whether it be a DBMS, spreadsheet or Python/Perl/etc list) and use that to derive what you need to know.
