Forwarding linux journal to stack driver produced illegal log name character errors

Bug Report

When forwarding the full journal of a linux host to stack driver, the character '@' in some of the systemd unit names produced errors with stack driver.

The '@' signs in log names for stack driver should be transcribed to the valid char set.

          },
          "0": {
            "code": 3,
            "message": "Log name (host.postfix@-.service) contains illegal char>
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Just forward all the logs to google stack driver.

Expected behavior

Should log all units, even those with a '@' sign in their name.

Your Environment

I use the following config:

[INPUT]
    name systemd
    tag host.*
    DB /var/lib/fluent-bit/journal.db

[OUTPUT]
    name  stackdriver
    match *
    google_service_credentials /path/to/credentials.json
    resource gce_instance
    resource_labels instance_id=worker0,zone=hosteurope

Additional context

I am unable to get most of the logs relating to postfix and other systemd units that use '@' in their unit names into my central log repository in google cloud stack driver logging.

Just changing the '@' sign to something like 'AT' would help a lot as one would be able to see these log entries in the central log and filter on them.
