In fact the file counter does not even show that the files exist. When I create the path for the files to be monitored if I use Z;\path\file, I get an error at the top of the splunk web page, but if I use \hostname\path\file as the path I don't get an erroe but it does not load the file. I can read the files from windows wihtout any problem.</P> <P>Any help appreciated,</P> Mon, 27 Sep 2010 19:51:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/files-on-mapped-network-drives-do-not-load-for-monitoring/m-p/58900#M11611 rcrolley 2010-09-27T19:51:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/files-on-mapped-network-drives-do-not-load-for-monitoring/m-p/58901#M11612 <P>This sounds like the same as this issue: <A href="http://answers.splunk.com/questions/1730/windows-mapped-drive-and-light-forwarding" rel="nofollow">http://answers.splunk.com/questions/1730/windows-mapped-drive-and-light-forwarding</A></P> Mon, 27 Sep 2010 20:53:28 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/files-on-mapped-network-drives-do-not-load-for-monitoring/m-p/58901#M11612 Brian_Osburn 2010-09-27T20:53:28Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/files-on-mapped-network-drives-do-not-load-for-monitoring/m-p/58902#M11613 <P>hello .. did you ever find a solution to this problem.
