Why are metrics producing the wrong value for host field?

Hello, I deployed a Splunk APP that listens to TCP in port 7001, protocol starts with the following code: inputs.conf: tcp:7001] index = metrics sourcetype = statsd And I have in \splunk-forwarder\etc\system\local\inputs.conf the following definition: [default] host = myhostname index = prod The index value is correctly overwritten. :) The problem happens when I am searching for mstats, the value for the host is 127.0.0.1, which is the IP where I am sending my metrics with powershell. I can't understand why the value host = myhostname is overwritten, I have no definition of this field in the Splunk APP deployed. Can someone help me?
