i wish to index all the log files in the network drive Y
but i am getting the error msg - In handler'monitor':Parameter name:Path does not exist
Manager -> Data Inputs -> Add Data -> From files and Directories -> continuously index data from a file or directory this splunk instance can access
full path to your data : Y:\
i am getting the error msg - In handler'monitor':Parameter name:Path does not exist
full path to your data : $Y:\
i am getting the error msg - In handler'monitor':Parameter name:Path must be absolute
how to index data from the network drive?
I can think of a couple of reasons for this:
You can get this from issuing a NET USE command on a machine that has the relevant Y: drive. It will look something like "\\ServerName\ShareName".

Hi All,
Can you please explain me how do we get service account for splunkd has access to that share on the server?

I am wondering the same thing. I am using the UNC path and its correct. Splunk accepts the path but does not show any data being added. If I copy the same folder onto my local drive it works fine, so the problem has to be accessing the files. Can you please explain me how to get service account for splunk has access to that share on the server?
