Make HostName overridable by config

[Tasmanien]

Hi,

I'm currently using APM agent on different setup, and the hostname of the servers are not really meaningful, like DESKTOP-JOKELGE, or DATA01.

Like for Metricbeat and Filebeat, would it be possible to make the host.name overridable by apm-agent with something in the config, instead of only relying on Dns.GetHostName() ?

Thanks!

Hi @Tasmanien

the is the ServiceNodeName which may help.

Having said that - the Java agent has this setting, so we could also implement the same for .NET.

Hi @gregkalapos
We currently use ServiceNodeName for other purpose so having the hostname like in the java agent would be ideal, it would also allow the use of the built-in host filter from Kibana
