hi manyaeons ,
try to follow these instructions

input.conf copy the file to the default folderand go stick it in thelocal folder and then make the change to put in local disabled=1
splunk then restarts. during startup, splunk will first consult the local file before the default folder and take into account the change.
I hope it will work

please forgive my english.
