Create custom fields for each host in heartbeat.yml

Elastic Stack Beats
#1

I am trying to combine my heartbeat visualization with APM visualization in same dashboards. Since the field names are not similar, the filter wont work correctly. So I was thinking of creating similar field names and labels per host in heartbeat.
For eg:- For each host that is monitored add custom fields like labels.region , labels.country etc.

Is it possible to add custom fields for each hosts in heartbeat.yml .

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/add-fields.html Can this be used to add custom labels for hosts ?

Yes, you can use either the fields or processors option under each monitor to do this. See our common monitor options docs.

So for each monitor you could do something like this...

- type: http
  name: spatial-services
  id: spatial-services
  enabled: true
  schedule: '@every 10s'
  ipv4: true
  ipv6: true
  mode: any
  timeout: 16s
  wait: 1s  
  hosts:
    - "www.spatial-services.net"
  fields_under_root : true
  fields:
   labels:
    app_env: Prod
    app_name: "Geocoding Service" 
    app_id: APP001234
    app_tier: 1
    app_resovler_group: geo-services-sre
    app_country: USA
    app_region: AMER
