Feature Request

Opening a feature request kicks off a discussion.
As discussed in #7763 (comment)

Proposal:

Let the default value of these be the same:

  • agent for processors.ifname
  • agent_host for inputs.snmp
  • agent_address for inputs.sflow

Current behavior:

The default value (agent) mostly never useful.

Desired behavior:

The default value should be a logical one that makes sense or most users would not need to change.
