Hello there,

I'm trying to monitor inputs files which have spaces in it which are in the below format but not all of the files are being captured .

Kindly advise me if my inputs need to be corrected in any way.

E:\files\xxxxx\eeeee\Error_20200528173833_70515016_ssss yyyy Planning Mapping - Update Dimensions.log

E:\files\xxxx\eeee\Error_20200615161548_31008196_ Origination Dimension Build.log

My current configuration:

[monitor://E:\files\xxxx\eeee\Error_*]
index = <myindex>
disabled = false
sourcetype = <mysourcetype>
ignoreOlderThan = 30d
crcSalt = <SOURCE>

If you have spaces in the log file name, you should monitor the base directory to monitor the log files

[monitor://E:\files\xxxx\eeee] index = <myindex> disabled = false sourcetype = <mysourcetype> ignoreOlderThan = 30d crcSalt = <SOURCE>

Hope this helps
