The SAP agent can prepend a configurable host prefix to the piggyback host it builds from the SAP System ID, so that systems sharing an ID can be told apart. It now also accepts a host suffix that is appended to the same piggyback host name, so that a system is reported as prefix + System ID + suffix. Both the SAP performance metrics and the SAP log messages are reported under this host name.

The suffix can be configured through the agent bakery rule and defaults to empty, so existing setups are not affected.

Thanks to Simon Harms for the contribution.
