the crcsalt is applied per stanza, so you want to create one stanza per group of files

example if you have your file in sub folders
[monitor://d:winevents/.../*.log]
recursive = true
crcsalt=myglogcrc
sourcetype = log
index = web

[monitor://d:winevents/.../*.txt]
recursive = true
crcsalt=mytextcrc
sourcetype = log
index = web

etc...
