Thanks Stefan. The "cryptic" string turned out to be the docker container
ID. It has nothing to do with Oracle's audit trail or Oracle version. It's
in the machine column of v$session as well, as you suspected. And I'm told
sending out the container ID as hostname is the default behavior of docker
if the container's hostname is not set.
Since there's no way to "decrypt" the string, I just use one of the two
ways to identify the host: Oracle audit trail (comment_text of
dba_audit_trail or authentication_type of unified_audit_trail); OS level
network connection (netstat -anp | grep <spid of v$process>, or lsof -p
...).
