hi - so for this POC, i'm now deploying the otel collector binary to one of the windows servers used by the application.

one thing we're trying to do is make it easier to correlate logs from different server types - using identifying info, such as geo region, app tier/type for the server, etc. is there recommended reading for this sort of configuration so we can include additional data to identify the incoming data based on log source?

for example, is there a way to expose additional details about the source node of the logs? i'm assuming we can still use stuff like `receiver_name` and
```receivers:
  ...
  filelog/appname:```

but not sure if there's a better way to provide identifying details about the source node of the logs

ideally, if we can get details about this server into signoz that can be used for filtering and used to correlate along with logs from other systems, then we'll do the same across the whole environment

and prove out real world troubleshooting efforts
