Index a file according to the modify time only

rayar — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 04:14:13 GMT

I have files uploaded to the NT share
The file is indexed and will be updated daily by QC system
Most of the time the file will stay the same
the retention time for the index is defined as 7 days
How I can index the file once a day after it's uploaded to the share event the data in the file is not changed ?

I tried the below in inputs.conf

[monitor://\raanana\Tabi4Splunk\QC_integration_csv\Splunk-ABP_DEV.csv]
disabled = 0
index = penetrationtest_pbg
sourcetype = csv_current_time
ignoreolderthan=1d

In props.conf set CHECK_METHOD = modtime for the source to check only the modification time of the file.

props.conf

[source::\raanana\Tabi4Splunk\QC_integration_csv\Splunk-ABP_DEV.csv]
CHECK_METHOD = modtime
