Getting Data In

TCP_ROUTING Sub-folders of monitors fails

Hi,
Monitoring subfolders of other monitors while using TCP_ROUTING results in subfolders not being indexed.
Do anyone of you have any experiences with this, or possible workarounds? 🙂

Removing the /var/log monitor will get data into to the customer01 and customer02 servers, so i know that the ROUTING is working.

Adding additional TCP_ROUTING to /var/log/ do not seem to help.

[monitor:///var/log/customer]
disabled=false
index=index1y
blacklist=.(gz|\d+)$
recursive=false
_TCP_ROUTING=customer01,customer02

[monitor:///var/log]
disabled = false
blacklist = (.(gz|bz2|z|zip)|lastlog|wtmp|btmp)$
followTail = 1
recursive = false

--
Best regards
Espen

I guess you stumbled on the same "bug" as I did.
This was my workaround:
