What configurations would be made to inputs.conf in order to have the same log file be monitored on all my servers?

I have 64 servers and I need to monitor the same log file on all the 64 servers. What would be the inputs.conf file configuration for this setup or any solution for this kind of requirement?

From my understanding and assuming the file is in the same location, inputs.conf does not need any special treatment. I presume you're using a deployment server so you'll want to create an app containing the inputs.conf, define a serverclass for the 64 machines, then add a stanza to push that app to the defined serverclass.
