Why is sourcetype defined as host in Splunk Cloud?

[mygoalfinder]

I created a inputs.conf on my deployment server and noticed that my logs were coming in as my sourcetype instead of my host.  Once the I assigned it to the client, I couldn't find the logs. I noticed they were my sourcetype instead of it normally being the host.

What exactly do you mean by "logs were coming in as my sourcetype instead of my host"?  Can you post a sanitized screen shot?

Please share the inputs.conf stanza.
