You can use the chrome extension here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/logicmonitor-script-debug/ijojgoccfeggejpbhdahmeijjhpdjklf
It adds additional functionality to the !groovy debug function, one of those being a drop down on the top right side that allows you to specify the host you are running the script against.  As Mike mentioned above, the source will be the collector you have opened the collector debug facility from.

I actually don’t like this extension as it confuses what is happening and is also no longer maintained by the original author.

Example script 1. Example script 2.

When you run `!groovy` in the collector debug window, it will pop up a window that will prompt you for the device name and the script. Just put the device name. It won’t work if your datasource is script and has active discovery because the instance is not selectable. Perhaps that’s where the extension will help, though I’ve never really had an issue just doing it right in the DS editor.
