How to monitor the same log location from different servers with different source names?

[aak2]

Hi,

I have the same log file locations with same file names in 3 different VMs. I want to differentiate them with source name in the same index and sourcetype. Here is my inputs.conf stanza:

[monitor:///data02/logs/ConnectionServer/logs/ConnectionServer.log]
sourcetype=jboss_server
source=app_prod_node1
index=prod_app
ignoreOlderThan=1d

That is not the best way to do this. Let the source default to the file name. Set the host to the hostname of the VM. Differentiate using the the host name, not the source name.
