Hey guys,
I had a quick question that I am unable to get an answer for by googling/doc'ing. If I am wanting to tag a server by using /etc/system/local/inputs.conf, am I able to apply this _meta field to various sources as opposed to only sourcetypes?
For example, we are needing to give specific tags to each respective log file location on a server. One location, will have _meta = altci::examplea and the other will have _meta = altci::exampleb.
It would look like this:
[default]
hostname = $decideOnStartUp
[F:\logFiles\inetpub\*.log]
_meta = altci:examplea
[C:\logFiles\inetpub\*.log]
_meta = altci:exampleb
Reason being is a few of our servers are legacy and host numerous sites/apps. Blah. I know it sucks, but it's a few old servers that are pretty important!
Thanks!!
