Subject: [PATCH] Enhance SocketClient functionality and improve host update
 handling

Add a new method to handle host updates in SocketClient, ensuring that updates are processed correctly based on the host ID. Additionally, improve logging in index.js to include the first tag of the host for better visibility. This change streamlines the management of host information and enhances the overall logging clarity.
