Getting Data In

UF data going to wrong index

I have a UF on an rsyslog server. The UF is forwarding logs to the indexer successfully, but one of my two input flows is going to the wrong index, and I can't figure it out. 

inputs.conf

[monitor:///path/number/one/*]

index = first_index

sourcetype = first_index

host_segment = 4

disabled = false

[monitor:///path/number/two/*]

index = second_index

sourcetype = second_index

host_segment = 4

disabled = false

Data of sourcetype second_index makes it to the corresponding index, but data of sourcetype first_index ends up in the main index. 

The only props and transforms I have configured are from the VMware add-on and its accessories, but I've scoured its conf files and have not found anything that would send this non-VMware data to main instead of where it belongs when it's specified in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/inputs.conf.

Any ideas? Thx!
