Hi ,
Thanks in Advance
I am trying to onboard json file data to splunk .But i am not forwarding all the data from json file.
My json file format
{
"aaa": {
"modified_files": [
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/HEAD",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/config",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/index",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/logs/HEAD"]
},
"bbb": {
"modified_files": [
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/HEAD",
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/config",
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/index",
"b/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/logs/HEAD"
]
}
}
I am getting result as like this
{
"aaa": {
"modified_files": [
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/HEAD",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/config",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/index",
"a/D:\\\\splunk\\\\Repos\\\\/.git/logs/HEAD"

File input does the same thing , it monitors file.
