Hi,

We want to read the database logs from a linux server, and the logs are stored in specific path “</path>/log/” as example . The logs are archived at the end of every day in same directory of real time log file. The real time info writes into “vertica.log” file, so we don’t want to read logs from the file “vertica.log”

How can we reed this archived  files in splunk.

Create monitoring stanza like below:

[monitor:///<path>/log/vertica.log-*]

disabled = 0

crcSalt = <SOURCE>

index = <IndexName>

 

If you still see the vertica.log is reading, trying adding below line in above Stanza

blacklist = vertica.log

 

That would be like below:

[monitor:///<path>/log/vertica.log-*]

disabled = 0

crcSalt = <SOURCE>

index = <IndexName>

blacklist = vertica.log
