Getting Data In

Why is my Remote File & Directory input not automatically inputting data?

I currently have a Remote File & Directory Data Input on the following log
'C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager%4Operational.evtx'

If I disable and enable the Data Input, it will import the log data. If I then go and make events within the log, it does not automatically import in to Splunk. However, if i go back and disable and enable the Data Input, it will import the backlog of events perfectly. Is there any way to automate this?

What are the inputs.conf settings for that file?

[monitor://C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager%4Operational.evtx]
disabled = 0
index = remotelog
