how can i add some descriptions at all input log (metric, syslog, snmp, etc...)

i tried, add "_meta = description::test_description" in UF inputs.conf

in this case, can be added description at all log

but, cant HF case

so... i think, what if it could be applied to heavy forwarder?

retried add "_meta ~~" in HF inputs.conf

but, not work

how can i do?

What do you mean by "description"? If you manipulate _meta, you touch fields _for every event_ of given sourcetype, source or host.

But if you do want to add a static field to your events (I do it on some of my forwarders to be able to quickly identify which forwarder the data came from) you should also add the field as indexed field in your fields.conf on search-heads
