Here is the path I want to add as an input:<BR /> cd /var/local/InterMapper_Settings/InterMapper Logs</P> <P>As you can see there is a space. I have tried wrapping in single and double quotes and escaping with a \ but nothing has worked so far. Splunk is running on Linux.</P> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:41:30 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Whitespace-in-data-input-path/m-p/86950#M18038 menkurau 2011-10-05T15:41:30Z Re: Whitespace in data input path https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Whitespace-in-data-input-path/m-p/86951#M18039 <P>You should just put it in as it is in inputs.conf, without the quotes.</P> <PRE><CODE>[monitor:///var/local/InterMapper_Settings/InterMapper Logs] </CODE></PRE> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:07:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Whitespace-in-data-input-path/m-p/86951#M18039 Ayn 2011-10-05T16:07:36Z Re: Whitespace in data input path https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Whitespace-in-data-input-path/m-p/86952#M18040 <P>That worked, points awarded!!</P> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:33:35 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Whitespace-in-data-input-path/m-p/86952#M18040 menkurau 2011-10-05T16:33:35Z Re: Whitespace in data input path https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Whitespace-in-data-input-path/m-p/86953#M18041 <P>Great!
