Index Windows Robocopy Log files - Help!

[psbailey]

I am sure this is something simple that i am over looking here but basically i want to monitor a directory with all robocopy log files in it, so that each file is a single new event so i can setup alerts for certain key words that would indicate when things are not working. These logs get overwritten as the same file name multiple times a day. So i want splunk to archive each time they get overwritten with new information so we can monitor things. My first attempt was just something like this, and it doesn't seem to be working? ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

alwaysOpenFile = 1
crcSalt =
index = _admin

Try

crcSalt = <SOURCE>

AFAIK the case matters. And I'm pretty sure you don't need "alwaysOpenFile", since you're checking the file's CRC.

Btw: Do you really want to have the whole logfile in a single event? If yes, remember to set the line breaking adequately.
