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
