@gcusello  Thanks for the help. It worked. There was also some issue with Intermediate forwarder as well, after restarting UF on Intermediate forwarder data get ingested.

Hi @ujju219,

please try this:

[monitor:///home/cleo/Harmony/script/logs/]

and, if not working, try:

[monitor:///home/cleo/Harmony/script/logs/*.log]

I suppose that you restarted Splunk on the Universal Forwarder after modifying.

Ciao.
