Getting Data In

Taking CSV files automatically from folder

I have added a folder to read CSV files through data input >files and directory option.
It seems that when I add a new file it needs splunk instance to restart to take up that file.
Can we configure splunk to read the file automatically when new file is placed into folder.

Just monitor the whole folder instead of pointing out specific files in that folder.

In that case something else is going on in your setup. Splunk does not require a restart to pick up new files. One good start for your troubleshooting is using the script found here: http://blogs.splunk.com/2011/01/02/did-i-miss-christmas-2/
