Need a "Hostname" field when using a Remote monitoring sensor

With many of the Instana sensors that do Remote Monitoring (MQ, MQ FTE, DB2, Oracle, etc.), there isn't a field that allows a customer to identify the hostname of the remotely monitored system.  I'm working with a customer that it integrating Instana with Big Panda and ServiceNow and those tools require a unique hostname field.    With Instana, the hostname, is the hostname of the Agent which isn't correct.   

The customer is looking for a field that could be use with global custom payloads where they could map a field that includes the hostname of the monitored server to a specific global custom payload field.

When doing remote monitoring, we should ALWAYS include a  field such as "RemoteHost" or "RemoteHostname" that would include the fully qualified hostname of the remotely monitored system.

    When remote monitoring, the Monitored_Host can be added for each technology, but need one sensor one tag, because one tag can only be implemented to one metric from code level.

    From sensor, it is not possible for a unified monitored host for different sensors by remote monitoring, as the hostname is exacted from each Sensor payload. You ask if team infra from infrastructure level to see if they have workaround for remote monitoring way.
