Pull Request (PR) description
Add ability to override default-host configuration. The default-host configuration is used to control the "host" property which Splunk will use to identify the forwarder. The current behaviour forces the default-host to match the server's $HOSTNAME. In my environment we prefer to customise this name to identify the region and environment for the forwarder (info we don't normally include in the server's hostname).
The default behaviour is maintained so this shouldn't break any existing setup. It just adds the ability to override it if required.
