log anonymization bugs

What is "host1"?  (my HDHR does not respond to that URL)
Shouldn't the HDHR device IP address be obfuscated?

Why is the server IP address obfuscated on one line but not the vast majority of places?

Seems very inconsistent.

hosts are generally masked remote addresses - you can also see them unmasked if you look at the log directly in the Web UI or toggle-off log anonymization before downloading it so you can easily compare raw vs. sanitized log and find out all the addresses.

Indeed 

I see the difference now, if a device/endpoint has a host name, it is obfuscated (e.g., "host2") but if the device/endpoint has an IP address then it is ignored and not obfuscated.  (at least in most cases)

What's the point of that?

They actually should be, as long as those are remote IPs - but by no means it means it works 100%, you might've just found a bug - but you need to provide specific example.

Examples above, but I have only local IPs in my log.  Still inconsistent behavior.

local network ip addresses are generally not obfuscated.
