fschange has long been deprecated, so it is recommended that you take advantage of file system auditing on your chosen platform and let Splunk consume the audit information.

It appears that the file you wish to audit is on Windows... THIS article gives you the step by step info.

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!
