How to ingest same events daily?

I have a file and I want it to ingest daily. What are the proper inputs and props should I used?

I tried setting CHECK_METHOD = mod_time on props and TIME_BEFORE_CLOSE = 86400
but it just ingests all new events.

The easiest way to do this is to setup a cron job on your Forwarder and use add oneshot:

This ensures that you ALWAYS bypass the fishbucket and send in the entire file.
