I have set up Azure Monitor custom log collection on my Linux VM by following the tutorial and all works fine, except that the Computer Name column in my custom table does not get populated. This means I have no easy way to distinguish between similar logs sourced from multiple VMs.
I could probably hack in the hostname into the log file itself and get Azure to parse it into a field, but on one hand I don't want to customize the log file if possible, I believe the agent should be capable of propagating this information somehow.
Is there anything that needs to be configured outside of the tutorial, or is it a current limitation of the Azure Monitor Agent?
