How can i indexing every day the same already indexed logfiles with the same content again?
Only the timestamp for the file changes but the content and the filename remains the same.
We use the Splunk entreprise 6.1.
Thank you for the help!

You just need to add a props.conf in your UF with configuration:

[yoursourcetype]
CHECK_METHOD = modtime
