Hello,

I have two servers both of which are in the same deployment class on my server. How can I do different sources per host when the moinotred file is the same?

E.G Server 1: HOSTNAME = UKWEBDEV01
C:\FileToMonitor\ABCDE\1234.Log
C:\FileToMonitor\ABCDE\1234.Log
C:\FileToMonitor\ABCDE\1234.Log Source
= InsitePortalLogs Sourcetype = IIS

Server 2: UKWEBDEV05
C:\FileToMonitor\ABCDE\1234.Log
C:\FileToMonitor\ABCDE\1234.Log
C:\FileToMonitor\ABCDE\1234.Log Source
= PlatformPortalLogs Sourcetype = IIS

Thank you!
JG
