https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Reindex-linux-log-file/m-p/571374#M101201 <P>I need to index a file: /var/log/file.txt. This file runs every day, but sometimes the content doesn't change. This leaves me with no events on days that remain the same. I need it to index every time the timestamp changes on the file. I believe I need to add crcSalt =&lt;SOURCE&gt; to the inputs.conf in order to reindex it. However, my inputs monitors all files in /var/log. So if I add that to that input monitor, it would likely apply to all files in var log reindexing them all every time. Something I don't want. How can I reindex just this file daily while leaving the other files in the directory unchanged?&nbsp;</P><P>Many thanks</P> Mon, 18 Oct 2021 16:44:07 GMT TheBravoSierra 2021-10-18T16:44:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Reindex-linux-log-file/m-p/571374#M101201 <P>I need to index a file: /var/log/file.txt.
