No data being received from Linux client.

Running Splunk Enterprise 7.0.3 on Windows Server 2012 R2. Receiving data across 7 indexes from 36 Windows Universal Forwarder clients and two syslog servers. Installed Splunk Universal Forwarder 7.0.3 on Redhat 7 server. Client phones home and makes good SSL connection:

Deployment App shows in Client's Apps directory:
#var-logs
[monitor:///var/log/*.log]
disabled=false
index=linux
sourcetype=var-logs

Index and sourcetype are correct. 

These are the only lines the the Clients splunkd that indicate any sort of problem:

Any ideas?

Succeeded in getting data by using the the following command on the client:

./splunk add monitor /var/log

however it still will not work by using a deployed app from the deployment server.

Here was the problem:

Default instead of default
