There are system tags automatically created with status information on each DB you can use to create a live display.

There's no single hostname field because a database connection doesn't necessarily imply a remote connection or a hostname at all; look at SQLite or HSQLDB for two examples of local only DBs which have no concept of a hostname.

With sufficient scripting effort, you could retrieve the connection URLs for each DB from the internal database; if you really need to do this, that would be your starting point, and you'd have to parse out an IP address or hostname. Consider searching on the forum for some examples code to get started, I'm sure it already exists.
