Hi There,

I am attempting to ingest data from the WindowsUpdateLog using the Splunk Windows TA. I have attached a screenshot of the inputs.conf stanza relating to this file and demonstrated that the file path is correct.

Any help would be appreciated,

Jamie

Issue was the space in "Program Files", used "PROGRA~1" instead and the problem was fixed.
