Getting Data In

Can I configure Splunk to index the search.log files for each search?

Hello,

I'm trying to get more detailed information about my scheduled saved searches, especially when they complete with success but contain errors and warnings in the stack trace.

I see that all details are stored in the $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/dispatch folder and I am wondering if this folder can be monitored by Splunk.

Is this possible?

Thank you and best regards,

Andrew

I don't see why not, any directory or file can be monitored. You'd probably want to index this into a dedicated and short-lived index since this can possibly be a significant amount of data.
