I have installed Windows infrastructure app on Splunk search head (which is a server)
The app requires multiple indexes(msad, perfmon, wineventlog) and all indexes are
receiving data except for msad
This is my inputs.conf file

Thank you for sharing. Do you have a question?
My question is: how do I get the msad index to receive data?
