Cannot search for new file- How do I get Splunk to pick up the file so I can view it in the UI?

I am creating a new file in the /var/log directory but when I sure for events I get zero result. How do I get Splunk to pick up the file so I can view it in the UI?

You need to check if you have a monitor input configured in the machine where the file is.

In the machine it self you can use tool to find this

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk btool inputs list --debug monitor
