Can we Tag logs to determine which forwarder sent the logs?

[I-Man]

All,

We have three 4.1.8 forwarders that send to an indexer. Is there anyways we can determine from the indexer, which forwarder sent which logs? Maybe there is a way to tag each log on the forwarder level so we can search for those tags on the indexer? FYI, we are not doing any indexing on the forwarders, they are forwarding logs only.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks,
I-Man
