Getting Data In

,In Splunk Cloud with managed forwarders is it possible to set the initCrcLength for a monitored directory input?

Is there a way to pass the initCrcLength when creating a data input with managed forwarders? The default doesn't pull data from the log directory. I was able to fix this on a non managed forwarder by setting the initCrcLength to 2000

From the splunkd log:
