Do following on the UI: Manager » Data inputs » Files & Directories » Add New

  • Monitor a file or directory : < your_path_to_the_file > (eg. /var/logs/apache/apache_access.log)
  • Host field value : < your_servername >
  • Set sourcetype : Manual
  • Source type : < apache_access >
  • Index : default

Save the whole thing, go back to the search app and type: sourcetype=apache_access
