Getting Data In

Search for failed inputs

I indexed 365 files (a daily IIS log for a year) and according to the TailingProcessor:FileStatus there were some that were ignored due to errors. How would I search for those files so that I can re-index them?

If the FileStatus endpoint says that the files were ignored, then the files weren't indexed. What were the errors you saw? If we know more about the errors you saw from the endpoint, we can probably recommend an action for you to take to try and resolve this problem.

Thanks for the response. I setup an input to monitor a folder. Some of the files failed due to a CRC error. I've updated the inputs.conf file salt to use the source path, but I need a listing of those the files that failed.
