We have a lot of hosts adding data to our logstash. When errors appear it would be nice to somehow get "sender" information. Is that possible?  
Example:  
Say that suddenly a XML parsing error appears in the logstash-plain.log, unless the actual error contain some good information it's hard to find out where the original message came from.
