I'd like to create a custom name for a common sourcetype. For instance:
inputs.conf
[monitor:///my/special/directory]
sourcetype = custom_syslog
props.conf
[custom_syslog]
Some configuration to make this custom sourcetype
format logs like the syslog sourcetype would be
formatted
[source::/my/special/directory]
sourcetype = custom_syslog
Rename does this in the reverse. I could rename my custom field to syslog with 'rename = syslog' in my props.conf, but that wouldn't help me. I want the behavior, but not the name of the default sourcetypes.
