In your props.conf

[Your Sourcetype]    
FIELDALIAS-Server = host AS Server

You can use wildcards. If you want to apply for everything then you can use [default]
[default]
FIELDALIAS-Server = host AS Server

Then you need global settings.

Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top of the file.

for more details on GLOBAL SETTINGS see the props.conf http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.2/admin/Propsconf
