.bash_history

I have multisite environment and I want to monitor all the ssh user commands through .bash_history.
for that purpose I enable the monitor:// stanza in all splunk components. interestingly, I am seeing bash_history logs from some servers and majority of the servers are not showing me logs whereas the same configuraiton is across the border.
please advise.
