Could you please elaborate why you would like this?  Is this perhaps because 
the hostname member does not always contain a valid value?  Under what 
circumstances does this occur?

I suspect the hostname field is quite useful if FAM is working as expected and 
the file being monitored is on a remote NFS share.
