It's pretty good and we have been using it in this way for a couple of years. One issue we are running into is the fact that some hosts define their name using a full domain name and some don't. But if you don't have this issue, you might rely on Splunk for that...</P> Tue, 03 Jan 2017 14:47:06 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-configure-multiple-host-names-in-a-single-inputs-conf/m-p/248886#M47888 ddrillic 2017-01-03T14:47:06Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-configure-multiple-host-names-in-a-single-inputs-conf/m-p/248887#M47889 <P>Thanks ddrillic.
