Hi all,
I am new to splunk, I want a directory name as Host name my directory structure is as follows:
C:/Program Files/Splunk/etc/apps/ntt_tougou/tougou_logs/AB/abcd/log1.csv
C:/Program Files/Splunk/etc/apps/ntt_tougou/tougou_logs/FS/kfcd/log1.csv
C:/Program Files/Splunk/etc/apps/ntt_tougou/tougou_logs/AVD/gbd/log1.csv
I want different host name like directory names AB FS AVD
input.conf:
[monitor:C:/Program Files/Splunk/etc/apps/ntt_tougou/tougou_logs/]
host_segment =7
By above configuration I am getting host name as default name of my computer. Is my settings are correct ? Where I am wrong ?
Your help will be appreciated.

The only time we've used host_segment, the segment name is in the monitor stanza (rather than after it somewhere), and it has worked well for us.
ie:
Instead of -
C:/Program Files/Splunk/etc/apps/ntt_tougou/tougou_logs
Try something like -
C:/Program Files/Splunk/etc/apps/ntt_tougou/tougou_logs/.../.../*
I have no idea if that will help, but it is worth a try until someone with a more definitive answer can chime in...
