[syslog-ng] Host variable substitution in syslog-ng.conf include statement

I am supporting a large number of syslog-ng hosts and we manage the configuration files with gitlab. I have been trying to figure out how to reference a variable based on hostname in the syslog-ng.conf file on each machine. For example, I would like to be able to have an include statement based on hostname - this would allow our common repository to have an exception set of filters/rules for each host but to use the exact same syslog-ng.conf file everywhere:
################################## syslog-ng.conf ###########################################
@version: 3.2
Include "`hostname`.conf"
...
Is there a way to accomplish this in version 3.2 (if not, does it appear in a later version)?
We are restricted to EPEL6 included versions of syslog-ng, so that's why we're at version 3.2
