Hello,
I have a monitoring stanza in my inputs.conf that is intended to monitor everything that is in /var/log/splunk
that ends in .log.
Reading the guides online, the triple dot ...
is supposed to monitor every directory under splunk. The only thing is that nothing is getting indexed into Splunk. I'm not sure what is wrong with this stanza, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[monitor:///var/log/splunk/...]
disabled = false
recursive = true
whitelist = .log$
index = dev_test
sourcetype = splunk_test
Try this
[monitor:///var/log/splunk/.../*.log]
disabled = false
recursive = true
index = dev_test
sourcetype = splunk_test
Try this
[monitor:///var/log/splunk/.../*.log]
disabled = false
recursive = true
index = dev_test
sourcetype = splunk_test
This worked for me, thank you very much.
Try removing the end ... so its just
[monitor:///var/log/splunk/]
recursive = true should take care of recursing through the additional directories.
I would have expected what you did to work but who knows maybe the two recursive settings are conflicting with each other.
