Research direction
Start by reproducing the empty sourcehostname value in the SysmonForLinux syslog output, then trace the source-hostname handling in the syslog emission path. Done means the field is populated with the correct source hostname; add or run a focused verification if the existing test coverage identifies a suitable location.
