Add `agent.hostname`
See original GitHub issueIn cases where an agent is not running on a host generating an event (e.g. APM server), it’s useful to track where the agent is running without touching host.hostname
.
Beats has already replaced beat.hostname
with agent.hostname
here https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/8873.
So the relationship between the two fields is:
host.hostname
should be populated with the hostname of the node generating the eventagent.hostname
should be populated with the hostname of the node where the agent is running, if different than the source of the event.- Question: should we always populate it, even if it’s the exact same value?

I think one of my analysts just had an aneurism. 😃
Per reasoning laid out in https://github.com/elastic/ecs/issues/178#issuecomment-512586064, not moving forward adding
agent.hostname
.
