I'm using the configuration deployment server to manage a bunch of forwarders. One of the apps that they get has inputs.conf with a stanza like this
[tcp://12345] connection_host = dns sourcetype = log4j source = mysource
I would like to do something to override the host to the forwarder machine address, but don't know if its possible. How would do this? Seems like it should be accessible since its effectively a constant.
[tcp://12345] connection_host = dns sourcetype = log4j source = mysource host = THISMACHINE
