Hi Everyone, I have multiple CentOS 7 running on VM. What i am trying to do is to monitor processes or services within each host. the problem is that all my host has default hostname.  
i already placed tags in fleet menu, but it seems that it doesn't show in Kibana Discover.

How do i change hostname for elastic agent? or How do i give special tags for each host so i can filter it in Kibana discover?

Thank you!
