There is one specific directory which needs to be monitored and I cannot find the proper documentation which points me towards it. Can someone please tell me how to do this via the GUI and the config files?</P> Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:53:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Monitor-remote-directory/m-p/52854#M10195 Sheela 2012-01-17T20:53:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Monitor-remote-directory/m-p/52855#M10196 <P>The easiest way, simply add your directory you'd like to monitor on your forwarder through the gui prior to enabling it as a forwarder.</P> <P>If you've already done set the machine as a forwarder, simply follow the cli instructions for adding an input.
