But after submitting everything when I searched, it does not show any result. When I looked into "Data inputs » Files &amp; directories", Number of files it is showing 1 which is correct as only one file is available as of now in the directory. And, when I looked into particular index, it is showing "Event count" 0 which is not increasing. Even tried to refresh multiple times but no luck. Any guidance is highly appreciated. thanks in advance. </P> Sat, 15 Jun 2019 04:38:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Files-are-not-indexing-automatically-when-selected-Monitor-Files/m-p/423781#M74419 vikrantkumar199 2019-06-15T04:38:59Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Files-are-not-indexing-automatically-when-selected-Monitor-Files/m-p/423782#M74420 <P>If you search for <CODE>index=*</CODE> and put in your <CODE>source=*your_file</CODE>, what do you see?
