v.23.11New Feature

Add hostname column to system log tables for replication and distribution support

Add hostname column to all system log tables - it is useful if you make the system tables replicated, shared, or distributed. #55894 (Bharat Nallan).
Added a hostname column to all system log tables in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the need to identify the source host when system tables are replicated, shared, or distributed across multiple nodes. Including the hostname column helps users track and differentiate logs originating from different hosts, improving observability and troubleshooting in distributed setups.

How to use it

No explicit user action is required to enable this feature; the hostname column is automatically included in all system log tables after upgrading to the version containing this change.
