If you have a field /w your application name, then you would use that field.

**Example** , I created a field called **application\_name** and under that field I have the name of my application.  
This means you either have this field or you need to create it. From your [other post](https://community.graylog.org/t/gelf-tcp-input-data-to-specific-index/21810) was explained on how to go about doing that.
