AWS Add-on for Splunk: Configure Regions in the inputs.conf file

Hello,

I'm trying to configure the CloudTrail and CloudWatch data inputs to collect AWS logs for Splunk. When I select a region that I think is correct, there is no log data coming into Splunk.

When I go into the inputs.conf file manually and input the region that was assigned to my programs account, still, no log data. 

I even went in configured an index for the AWS add-on, went into the meta-data and changed the saved searches/macros to point to the new index I created, etc. 

Has anyone experienced this issue before?
