Is there no "Host Field value" setting in Splunk DB Connect 2?

I use the Host Field in most of my searches. Splunk DB Connect 1 had a setting to add the Host Field value to events that are imported from Oracle. There seems to be no equivalent setting in Splunk DB Connect 2. Am I missing something? If there really is no equivalent setting, can I inject a Host Field using a Transform?

Where do I find that series of links? Or is it a document reference? I see nothing that resembles that.
