Hi @amirulhusni99,

your request is just a little vague!

could you share some additional information?

  • are you speaking of ingest the content of a text file?
  • what operative system are you using,
  • are you using an Universal or an Heavy Forwarder?
  • which is the Splunk version?
  • could you share the inputs.conf?
  • if the server where files are stored is different than the Splunk server, are you already receiving the Splunk internal logs from that target server (you can check this with a simple search "index=_internal host=>your_host>")?

Ciao and happy Easter.

Giuseppe
