Hello,
How I would use monitor path in my inputs.conf. All files are in the Windows machine at the location:
MLTS(\\VPWSENTSHMS\CFT\TEST)(L:)
Should it be
[monitor://L:\MLTS\*]
Any recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi @SplunkDash,
if you have a fixed path, you can use the full path e.g.:
[monitor://L:\MLTS\VPWSENTSHMS\CFT\TEST\*.*]
or
[monitor://L:\MLTS\VPWSENTSHMS\CFT\*\*.*]
if instead you could have a variable path, you can use three dots:
[monitor://L:\MLTS\...\*.*]
Remember that in Windows you have to use "*.*" and not "*" as in Unix.
Ciao.

How would I point path in monitor command if my source files are located in Windows Shared Folder? Is the following should work ("\\servername\comm2\Audit\Logs\" is share folder name) :
[monitor://\\servername\comm2\Audit\Logs\*.log]
Thank you so much!
Hi @SplunkDash,
Using windows, you have to specify the drive you're using:
[monitor://F:\servername\comm2\Audit\Logs\*.log]
Anyway, you can test the path to insert in the monitor stanza header using the "dir" command in cmd window.
Ciao.
