What have you tried so far and how does it fail to meet your expectations?

You didn't say what have you tried so far. Maybe you have some small easily fixable mistake in your configs or maybe your approach is completely wrong. Show us what you've got.

Hi @pavithra ,

to answer to your question I need more information:

  • filename,
  • path,
  • column separator,
  • sourcetype,
  • index.

Anyway, supponing that the file is called "myfile2024-08-09.csv" and that the path is "/opt/data/files", you could use these:

inputs.conf

[monitor:///opt/data/files/myfile*.csv]
disabled = 0
index = your_index
sourcetype = your_sourcetype
host = your_host

Then you should also configure props.conf for INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = CSV.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
