Configured the otelcol-contrib agent.config.yaml file to send the data to splunk cloud. i'm getting the data but the source is coming as HEC Token name.

receivers is configured to read different files.

filelog/sys:

include: [ /var/log/messages, /var/log/auth, /var/log/mesg$$, /var/log/cron$$, /var/log/acpid$$ ]

start_at: beginning

include_file_path: true

include_file_name: false

Exporters:

in the exporters didn't mention the source.

option 1 : By default Splunk is taking the HEC token name as it's value.

option 2 : I can give the value as log file path but for multiple files, it's not working .

in splunk cloud, source is - HEC Token value

log_file_path field is giving the log file path. Is there a way i can configure the source to take the log file path.
