# Frequently Asked Questions
|
||||
|
||||
### Q: Telegraf cannot resolve hostnames that are resolvable via `dig`, `host`, `nslookup`, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Go uses a pure Go resolver by default for [name resolution](https://golang.org/pkg/net/#hdr-Name_Resolution).
|
||||
This resolver behaves differently than the C library functions but is more
|
||||
efficient when used with the Go runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
If you encounter problems or want to use more advanced name resolution methods
|
||||
that are unsupported by the pure Go resolver, you can switch to the cgo
|
||||
resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
If running manually set:
|
||||
```
|
||||
export GODEBUG=netdns=cgo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If running as a service add the environment variable to `/etc/default/telegraf`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
GODEBUG=netdns=cgo
|
||||
```
