Hi, I have a heartbeat that checks many different hosts; the urls of these hosts are usually not very expressive, e.g.
heartbeat.monitors:
-type: 'http'
urls: ["1.2.3.4"]
-type 'http'
urls: ["5.6.7.8"]
...
It would be nice to have sth like
-type: 'http'
urls: ["1.2.3.4"]
tags: ["first server"]
-type 'http'
urls: ["5.6.7.8"]
tags: ["second server"]
...
Currently, the tags can only be set in the general part of the heartbeat config as far as I know.

This is currently not possible. See related ticket: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3623](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3623)
