Hi

I have a requirement where I need to monitor certain registry key values on Windows server 2016. I am using the below configs in inputs.conf for monitoring but unable to index the data and also dont see any results in search.

Tried following the Splunk doc as well but couldnt get much help. 

Let me know if you have come across any such issues and rectified it. 

Contents of inputs.conf
