Is it possible to programatically set the sourcetype to be the namespace from where the logs were generated? I am using the fluentd plugin to send data to the Splunk http event collector. Elsewhere, it was recommended to use ${record['kubernetes']['namespace_name'] to set the index name to be the namespace name. When I do this for sourcetype, that actual text just shows up in Splunk rather than translating to the specific namespace names.
@include systemd.conf
@include kubernetes.conf
<match kubernetes.var.log.containers.fluentd**>
type null
</match>
<match **>
type splunk-http-eventcollector
all_items true
server host:port

sourcetype ${record['kubernetes']['namespace_name']
source kubernetes
buffer_type memory
buffer_queue_limit 16
chunk_limit_size 8m
