https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/indexing-older-log-files/m-p/51689#M9913 <P>I have been indexing akamai log files since 12/18/2012 to the present. A user requested that I index older files from 5/18/2012 to 12/17/2012 so they can scan that data also. Is there any issue indexing older log files. I was going to put them in an Akamai logs directory on my indexer where the other akamai files are being picked up daily. </P> Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:24:43 GMT drussell88 2013-03-05T15:24:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/indexing-older-log-files/m-p/51689#M9913 <P>I have been indexing akamai log files since 12/18/2012 to the present.
