Unable to add more sources to Universal Forwarder

Hi,

I'm pretty new in the Splunk field.
I've installed a little environment of Splunk on virtual machine and Universal Forwarder on my own machine (both are windows).
When I'm trying to add more sources to the Forwarder such as log file, I can see the changes in the App's inputs.conf file but there are now events getting in to the system. I did a restart to the splunkd service on my machine and didn't help.
What I'm missing here?

Can I search Forwarder's system log?
If you can not find it, it's a problem with the network or outputs.conf.
If you can search it is a problem with inputs.conf.
Mistakes in setting, differences in character codes, etc. can be assumed.

would you mind posting the inputs.conf stanza you are using?

Hi davpx,

Here is what I have in the inputs.conf file under "C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\system\local"
This is the one you're looking for?

[default]
host = S0011
index = mypc
